Its actually european lager :P

Actually, it specifically says this kit is enclosed with a TRUE lager strain and may produce off smells like rotten eggs while fermenting. So in this case what do you reccomend I do, keep it at 21c, or go for 13+ trying to to exceed 20+ ?

I still cant believe the smell that is coming from my fermentor, its almost like exactly hobgoblin and I used mostly malt extract.... I think the addition of cascades will make the beer even better, although since I boiled them im not getting much flavour the aroma is coming from the fuggles I...

The instruction say to ferment on the low end of the reccomended temperatures (21 - 27c), It also mentions it can ferment as low as 13c. Would it be beneficial if I could keep the temperatures as low as posssible but within range of 13c ? Could it possibly result in a poor product/off...

google "beer forum" chose from a few :)

Find out what they mean, im curious now :) Google aint workin for me :(

lol yeah come to think of it ive read once that tannins (esophogal cancer), white flour/sugar increases risk, MSG, red and white meat.....common radiation(cell phones), some sweeteners....list goes on. I think it might be shorter list if you mention what doesnt give cancer... Oxygen...

Beer kills/prevents cancer ? Ive done a search, and suprisingly I got opposite results......although it doesnt look like its been "proven", alot of places seem to say that even moderate alcohol consumption increases risk of cancer! I wish it wouldnt be so harmful, but out of all the alcohols out...

lol passedpawn!! Ive gotta say hobgoblin!! Then again I'll most likely be awaked again in my journeys...

45 gallons of various coopers kits (irish stout,stout2x,apa2x,draught,real ale,lager,ipa) 2.5g first a.g wheat beer 2.5g attempted hogoblin clone Thats a total of 50 gallons!! WoW do I ever feel like a drunk! In that case, someone else add +50 to that count.

I recently found a gold mine of glass 1 gallon jugs. There was about 20 of them, I grabbed at least 8. I noticed later on that some had a label containing some kind of "acid", another bunch had labels but ripped/decayed away. I notice on the bottom of each jug is an etching of the number...

Is it possible to tell the L from looking at it ?

Yeah well from not using malto-dextrin, and styrian goldings, we'll see what i'll end up with. Im sure itl taste just fine, but definitly not a clone. I used 75g carastan, 45g chocolate and 1700 grams of llme. Hops were cascades 60 min 1/2oz, perle 10grams 30mins, fuggles 10grams 10mins.

Well I made some major changes, because I didnt buy as many hops and couldnt get the goldings.....at worst ill have a beer that tried to be a hobgoblin but didnt make it ;) I made it lighter (alcohol), and used cascade hops 60min, 30min perle hops, and fuggles for aroma. I think its last 10...

Yes its orfys, so in this total recipe is 124 grams of hops ? ? All at different timings ? Boil for 60 min Start to Boil 3.48 kg Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 25 gm Styrian Goldings [5.00%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 25 gm Fuggles [4.50%] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 30 min into...

Well, im not sure if I should just scrap this whole project, because im gonna have to do it again anyway!! There was no label but carastan on the pail I was weighing my grain in. The recipe calls for : Steeped 0.17 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 0.15 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0...

So I guess ill follow the 30 minute "steep" then. Carastan is another name for caramel, A few have told me this. The hobgoblin was a great beer, reminds me of a richards red, although its been awhile since ive had one.

A few people said that it might have been the lee's producing a sense of body, another contribution would be co2, and the residual sweetness.

Ok the recipe calls for chocolate, cara-pils/dextrine, and crystal/caramel. I got carastan, and im not sure what to substitute for the carapils!! Munich ? Or wheat malt? Mix of the two ? In the extract version recipe it doesnt mention using base malt "mashing" at all, just steeping for...

Stick with coopers yeast, if your that advanced in brewing you should be formulating your own recipes & yeasts of your choice. Each one of their kits has a different type of yeast specifically to meet the style! Check the best before date on the can, only if its past that date you might wanna...
