    Oatmeal and Black Treacle Stout

    I think it is. Its kind of sweet liquorice sort of flavour. Bonfire toffee.

    Oatmeal and Black Treacle Stout

    Unfortunately I was using paper records then (I created a lovely google drive sheet a few brews after this) Anyway long story short I have very little info on this now bar the above. Sorry :( On the positive side my memory is better then my record keeping. I remember the SG was around...

    Six pack T-shirt

    It went to print which is great! :) It has inspired me to setup a facebook page and start putting out designs all things homebrew. Gives me something to do between brewdays when I cant stop thinking about brewing!!! I cant post about it here because its, understandably crossing the line...

    Six pack T-shirt

    Sorry, not been around for a while. Working away. Its one of the downsides of teesping. Once you start you start so you cant edit things to be able respond to that feedback loop, which as you say would have been cool.

    All Grain v Extract (my experience)

    As always there is the big variable of people standards too to consider. For example I am not happy unless my beers are as good or better then anything else Ive ever sampled commercial or otherwise. Many people, and I have seen this many times, label a beer as great as long as it somewhat...

    How to increase body to American Pale Ale?

    Now, its just my personal opinion but adding "other things" that are not core ingredients should be an absolute last resort. First thing if this was me, I would be mashing higher. Consider a single stage mash at 69c / 156f. I am not a multistage masher so I may be incorrect in my understanding...

    How to increase body to American Pale Ale?

    A High mash temp and the addition of unfermentables all the way. On a slight aside there was an interesting Xbmt recently on mash temp. While people didn't significantly notice the difference, the hydrometer never lies...

    Bacon = Bad for you

    As somebody who has a bit of an unhealthy obsession with nutritional science I can shine a bit of light on this. As usual with these things "They" are making misleading statements. As is often with these things they make blanket statements as they apply to the 95% of the population. The...

    Six pack T-shirt

    You know... Ive never seen a site that does that. Cafe press do a bit of random things but not sure what their model is.

    Six pack T-shirt

    You know, I nearly googled to "check" (read: confirm) the idea had been done before but, Ive avoided doing things so many times in life because it had been done before. To be fair, unless I am just biased Ive done a better job than the majority of those :fro:

    Six pack T-shirt

    Had a random idea for a beer shirt so thought I would teespring it. Hopefully it will meet its quota so they do the print run and I get mine. :ban: https://teespring.com/i-got-sixpack Let me know what you think. I am not sure if its actually funny or its just my sense of humor:confused...

    Two Week Fermentation

    10-14 days in primary is a nice amount. I think you are more than good to go if you are happy that its at FG.

    Lautering?

    This is one of those things that people get all funny and fight about. The way I look at it is... have you ever done BIAB? have you seen how much **** gets into the boil? yet none of these BIABers are complaining about duff beer. I wouldn't stress about it. If you are getting it as "clean" as...

    Water Analysis

    The best thing to do for a first step is to get a Salifert test kit (there may be alternatives in the states but this is how we do it in the UK). This will allow you to understand the alkalinity of your tap water. This is the most important part of getting your water right IMHO as mineral...

    Oatmeal and Black Treacle Stout

    120 ecb / 55L. Had to look it up as the place I got it from only sold it as crystal. No specifics.

    Oatmeal and Black Treacle Stout

    Yes, ive heard the same. I understand its not too common stateside? Its one of those items here in the UK that is just a supermarket staple. A 450g tin is just over £1 when I got it for this. I've not tried molasses so cannot compare either but black treacle has a sweet real licorice like...

    Oatmeal and Black Treacle Stout

    Hi all, new member. Just thought I would share a recipe I brewed recently that has gone down a storm with everyone. For some magical reason its good to go after one week of conditioning. We have come to the conclusion its down to the residual sweetness from the black treacle just smoothing...
