Thanks, guys - I'll see what I can do and will try to post results.

Well, There's Danstar Munich, and then there's Munich Classic - I have no actual, science-based knowledge, just this: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/danstar-munich-classic-or-danstar-munich.570551/#post-7431068 I have tried both side-by-side, and I prefer the Munich Classic, which...

Okay - I could probably do this. I'm looking for a decent balance with the clove/banana/spice (not more of one or another), so.... My yeast is Danstar Munich Classic (a dry version of 3068, according to German homebrewers); it is an 11-gram package and this is a 1-gallon batch. Normally, I...

To be honest, that does sound a little more reasonable; I know that it can really add a nice character to a beer, but too much of a good thing is not good.

Hi, SG, and thanks -Your thoughts are pretty close to mine. I did plan a bittering addition and one for taste/aroma - just wondering if anything is needed in-between. In future brews, I do plan to up the percentage of wheat; 60 for sure and I wouldn't mind 65 at all. This one, I'm keeping it...

BrewDay is tomorrow, Sunday at the latest. If I remember correctly, Weyermann states that 20% is the max for Melanoidin, so in the absence of any advice to the contrary I'll go with that, as part of the "other" 50% opposite the wheat (in other words, 50% Wheat, 30% Pilsner and 20% Melanoidin)...

I would like to brew a simple, straight-up Hefeweizen (nothing fancy or elaborate) with 50% German Wheat malt and Floor-Malted Pilsner. The yeast will be Danstar Munich Classic. The hops will be Hallertau. This will be a 1-gallon batch. My desired ABV will be somewhere between 5 and 5.5%. My...

Yes, and yes, at least for me.

Berliner Weisse!

I should add to my post above: I run mine through coarse, medium and fine mesh in order to strain the biggest share out of it and also to aerate the wort; pretty much the same as this: https://eckraus.com/snap-in-screen-set/ Only the smallest particles make it through, and what's left behind...

There's going to be trub - the little bit from hops matters neither a jot nor a tittle....

It's very possible, Griffin - I dropped the ball three times while brewing this beer. The first was taking so long getting around to cold-crashing it, the second was taking so long bottling it, and the third was waiting so long after bottling it before I tried it. I brewed it on 20 July, and my...

I've been able to try this beer twice now, and have really enjoyed it. The colour and clarity were very good, in my opinion, mostly due to the extended cold-crashing and the fact that the beer sat for two months after bottling before I managed to get my labels on it. The beer poured pretty...

I had yesterday off from work, so I decided to brew a beer mix from Brooklyn Brew Shop that I had purchased a few months ago; Green Tea Pale Ale: https://brooklynbrewshop.com/collections/beer-making-mixes/products/beer-making-mix-green-tea-pale-ale Brooklyn Brew Shop gives a fairly...

I went ahead and ordered one of these (the 128-oz) last week, it should arrive sometime this week. From what I can see, a lot of the issues leading to early bad reviews have been addressed; most recent reviews have been very positive. Since I brew 1-gallon batches only and have no plans to...

G'morning, guys - I did go with the Earl Grey; I'll post a few details on a new thread, if interested.

Dan - In my experience, the labels getting wet did not cause the colours to bleed, but of course they do slip off the bottle fairly easily when wet; on the other hand, that's a good thing when it comes time to re-use the bottles.

I like the idea if chai spices but might save that for a brown or Amber ale. The Earl Grey goes with an idea for a theme that I am having so I will probably go with that. Thanks!

I need some ideas on which choice to add to my brew today, which is a pale ale with fairly light Nugget hops. The pale ale is fairly standard, with some lighter Crystal and Vienna added. I've narrowed my choices down to Earl Grey tea that I brought home from Australia or some whole Chai spices...
