Hey, I brewed a pale 31 clone but it turned out too bitter. Apart from a 15 g 60 min addition of fuggels I did 60g at 10 min and 60g at flame out. Also I try hopped with 60 g for 4 days. Used chinook cascade and centennial. I seem to get too many IBUs from my late and dry hope additions. Any...

Cool, thanks for the reply. I it possible to have a current controller to the element so I can make the element warm instead of scorching hot? Would that be a solution? I've bought the element already so I kinda want to use it.

Hey all, So I just installed a heating element in my HLT and now I want to put one in my mash tun. I want to put it above my false bottom but I hear the element may scorch the grain. Will that happen even if I stir the mash around while I switch the heating element on? I'll only be switching it...

Hey. Yeah i got activity straight away. It's a 1 liter starter but it has like an inch of trub at the bottom. When I pitch should I put it all in or pour it without the trub?

Thanks for advice. So this is what I just did. I poured the junk at the bottom of my fermenter into a bowl after putting the beer into a keg. So then I made a starter and put about a cup of that junk into the starter. I started pouring it and took the first runnings. It looked like brown...

Thanks for that. I have a glass carboy, so do I tip all of it out into another container so it's easier to scoop?

Hey, so I'm brewing a red ale at the moment with 1056 and wondered if when I transfer my red ale to keg can I dump new pale ale wort on top of it without any problems. Concerns Will the trub left over from red ale be ok sitting there for another ferment? Going from a darker beer to a lighter...

So even when I put the beer from the kettle to the fermenter the wort was a light muddy colour. I brewed a pale ale, all gain. Usually it's a nice colour when transfer then it goes muddy during the first 4 days of fermenting and then clears up. but it's stayed the same now for like 6 days. I...

So I went with 4500 g pilsner 300 cara pils 300 dark crystal 300 Vienna Any good?

Cool, thanks Hey yooper I brewed you're too malty pale ale, brilliant stuff. Wanna do the same this time but use pilsner malt as base.

So I want to brew a amber ale using pilsner malt as my base. How's 80% pilsner malt 10. Cara pils 10. Crystal 60 Also what kind of yeast should I use for this? Thanks

Excellent, cheers!

Hello, I want to use pilsner malt as my base malt instead of using US pale in my ipas or pales or ambers. So I just wanted to know what are the pros and cons to this and do I need to use more or less or the same compared to pale malt in my recipe. Thanks

It's 1017. Which isn't bad right?

Ok cool. I'll do that now. So what if it's super high?

Because I was in a rush I didn't take it, which now I'm regretting. Any advice. Will it mellow after a few weeks?

I did let it ferment for like 2 weeks. You think it needs more. Im pretty sure I got my water to grain ratio wrong so I didn't use enough water in my brew.

Probably a silly question but I thought I'd ask. So I brewed an amber ale, it's been kegged for like a week. Pulled a glass of it and it's way to malty, just a strong sweet malty taste. I know what I did wrong in the brewing but I wondered if I could somehow dilute it with letting it go flat and...

Cheers.
