Personally I think it pairs wonderfully, it definitely adds some body and allows some sweetness to remain like you mentioned. Once this full size batch it being served to long time cider drinkers I will report back with their reactions. Maltodextrin would add body, but from what I've heard (no...

Afraid the milk stout cider was a complete disaster from beginning to end. I will revisit it again someday, but for now I'm just tired of trying! As for other experiments in the works: 1) Cinnamon coffee cider has been coming along nicely. After a few itterations we are homing in on the...

Completely and utterly incorrect. I did a one gallon experiment with lactose which turned out fantastically well. I have scaled it up and right now have a 5 gallon batch bubbling away. Do yourself a favor OP, try a small batch with lactose. It adds mouthfeel as well as sweetness and is...

Why are there so many dicks on this forum? I've had people taste this, it tastes right on the money. Don't believe me? Don't respond! It's that easy. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Afraid the galaxy is pretty important, I got lucky and found some here in Athens. It's absolutely the backbone of the beer. Sounds like yours will be nice though, hope it's delicious! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Basically steep the crystal grains for 30 minutes at 150 degrees, and just convert the base malt to DME (0.6x) or LME (0.75x) at the respective ratio. Base malt: 6lb light DME (Or 7.5lb LME) (add half at start of boil and rest at 5 minutes remaining) Crystal grains for steeping: 1.5lb Caramel...

Watch the temperature that the bottles carb at. I added my regular priming sugar addition to a batch, neglecting to factor in that instead of conditioning at 75 they were at 63, and I've ended up with undercarbed beer. John Palmer has a little info graphic thing that let's you work out how much...

Thanks! I might have to try this next time! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

That's awesome. Apologies for this continuing off topic, but do you typically pull a bunch of stuff out with your paint strainer? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Bleme, how the hell are you managing to only lose 0.3 gallons in the primary? I have almost a gallon of trub every time. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I think that many people are losing touch with what it feels like to be helpless in the face of crappy beer. We've all been there, we've all been completely at a loss at least once. We've all researched hysterically about a billion possible reasons behind our ruined beer, because, let's face...

Thanks for the photos! Will be trying it on my aluminium kettle this weekend! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Have you seen the thread somewhere on here titles Graff? It's a malted a slightly hopped cider. I made a batch, it was delicious. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It sucks my life away. I spend all day and night browsing. I have every bottle and keg full of beer, wine or cider. And I have a batch in primary waiting for a keg to kick. This forum inspires so many ideas that I have taken to writing down ideas for future batches, and now I find myself...

I actually have this kit and will be brewing it tho coming weekend. According to ibrewmaster, with s05 the predicted FG is 1.014. Give it a few more days before considering a repitch. Also, what temp did you mash at? A high mash temp would result in more unfermentable sugars and this a higher...

Lived in Dubai for 6 years, the stories from Saudi were rough. Dubai was a damn fun place to spend a few years though. Take the money and run as often as you can! It sounds like you'll get to drink beer pretty much everywhere on Europe! Don't forget to visit cool places in Africa too, that...
