Hi Max, I did this with Belle Saison and 23liters, no problems at all, Saison turned out just great. OG was 1.062, FG 1.010 Cheers!:mug:

I'd be careful with Chocolate malt unless you like "burnt" beer ;)

These kits are pre-hopped, so if you are going to have 2 cans in 1 volume (23 liters as prescribed), you'll get IBU twice as much as it should be. Result may be also not quite balanced because of it. This is the only problems I see, otherwise you are fine ;)

+1 for BlueMoon :mug:

It is easy to test: use "independent" expert - just share this beer with some1, do not tell him/her whatsin and ask about his/her feels. ;) No doubts it is. Just looking at grain bill - it can t be bad. BTW: If you are interested in Kottbusser, HERE is a great thread covering that topic...

Bookmarked, thanks for sharing. :tank: I'd probably give it a try later in spring. What the honey would you suggest to use?

1.6 oz only? Hmmm.... What was your batch size? PS are you sure about "incredible honey sweetness"? Honey is fully and easy fermentable and as one guy said "Yeast will find all the sugar" ;)

Thanks for sharing, great tool! Easy math :) and great visualization :mug:

The honey you are talking about seems completely missing from your recipe, thus is uknown how much of it you are going to use. It is also would be good to know what the yeast you will use. Basically, you won't get much sweetness from honey, especially if you 'll use yeast which ferment dry...

Gday folks, I tried out sort of hoegaarden clone recipe which called for using 28 gr of crushed coriander and orange zest. At that moment I ran out of crushed coriander seeds and used ground one. I guess that was a mistake. After all the beer turned out pretty much tart with overpowered...

That will work just fine. :mug: As soon as it off yeast cake autolysis should not be a big problem.

Just wondering if ping pong balls food grade material.... :confused:

They actually mentioned this issue on their info page: http://www.brewersfriend.com/yeast-pitch-rate-and-starter-calculator/#cells_per_gram

I assume the hole in barrel you have is large enough for 0.33/0.5 l glass bottle to pass through. Seal empty glass bottles (as many as you need for extra volume off) with wine corks. Lets assume you have 20 l of beer and 30 l barrel. Then take for example 18-20 x 0.5 l. Wash and sanitize em...

Bump! Any1? May be it is easier to turn it into vanilla-cardamom stout (coz I could not call any of 4.5% ABV stout "Imeprial")? Or try to make it imperial by adding a kilo of dark DME and possible tuning with extra yeast?

G'day folks, Please share your ideas how can I tweak Muntons IS kit I got as XMas gift? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, guys, for all your advises. Need to tell this to my neighbour who is planting mint :) I am most likely going for bottomless box/can then. What the minimum dimensions should it have for lets say 1 vine grows ok? From your replies I've got impression ehat 1 foot depth might be...

Hi folks, There are second year hops I have here in my garden and I am a bit concerning about roots. How do you guys usually constrain those?

HawDU folks, I used hop pellets in the muslin bag during the extract boil. When chilled wort comes to fermenter, I noticed there are a lot of greenish hop residue at the bottom of my pot. I just wondered should I put that residue into fermenter as well? or should I just dump it? Are...

I did it in all ways - boiled and fresh, into secondary and into primary (but after vig fermentation down), kept there for 3-5 days. All the guns shot fine. I did not feel much differences in flavor with all the methods. Personally I preffer boil 1-2 minutes to pasterize and avoid infection...
