Thanks for all your replies. They answered my question perfectly. Cheers! :tank:

Hi HBT. I have seen similar posts to this, but they have usually concerned longevity of base malt. I am in a situation where I have some uncrushed specialty grains (crystal, chocolate, black patent) left from my last batch which I brewed a little over a year ago. I am about to order some...

Thanks for the feedback! Think I will go with the simple recipe the first time I am making it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hi all. I am about to brew a belgian triple and I am ordering the ingredients soon. Here's what I have so far: Pilsner 83.4% Caramunich 1.6% Table sugar 14,5% Hallertauer Mittelfruh 29.5 IBUs @ 60 mins Saaz 0.5 IBU @ 3 mins Yeast: Wyeast Labs #1214 Stats: Est. O.G 1.079 Est. F.G...

Hi Soviet. Sorry, about the missing information. It tastes a bit alcoholic which puzzles me a bit since the room it was fermenting is was generally around 20 celcius (68 F). It doesn't really have alot of depth but just comes on as quite heavy (malty with quite some bitterness from the hops)...

Thanks for the replies. I have read about Graff on here before, but never connected the dots :smack:! Will probably try a modified version of Brandon's. Thanks again!

Hi HBT. A while ago I brewed an APA with galaxy hops. I was quite excited when I ordered the hops for the batch, since I read on BYO that it had the following profile: "When used as a late addition or dry hopped, it contributes a pungent flavor of passionfruit and citrus." So I thought...

Hi HBT. I've been wanting to make a cider for a while and today an idea struck me. Iøve been reading up on making cider with ale yeast (the only yeast I've currently got in stock is S-04 and US-05) , and a common problem seemed to be that when using an ale yeast such as S-04 and US-05, the...

So I should just use 30L as normal (8% of the grist in this case) and then maybe a tiny bit of black patent for color adjustment (I like dark porters)?

Hi guys. I'm doing a clean-up brew and I have Maris Otter, crystal 30L, chocolate malt available to me. I want to brew an american styled porter, but I am unsure whether crystal 30L will give it enough character, compared to 60L. Should I simply use more than when using 60L? Or will the 30L be...

Hi HBTers. I brewed an all-grain APA today, a recipe I've done before. I did it just as before, but for some reason I missed my O.G. I was supposed to get 1.053 but I got 1.044. Is this "missed by alot"? Anyway, I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to dissolve some table sugar in a...

Thanks for the inputs and clarification on this subject. Interesting points for me to consider for my next batch / pour. Thanks again.

Thanks for the input. Maybe it is as simple as that (in my case).

Does the torrified wheat give any clarity issues with your brew?

Thanks for the mashing temperature tip. I usually mash at around 154, maybe I should try out the 156-158 range for improving lacing / body.

Thanks. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Here's an update. I ended up brewing the recipe I originally posted with the 60 minute addition moved to 45 as BeerLoverHere suggested, and using Safale US-05. Here is a pic: It's not too bitter, just perfect for me, and the head seems quite good. Very refreshing beer with citrus aroma. No...

Hi. I recently brewed a recipe I came up with (this is my recipe but I moved the 60 minute addition to 45: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/will-my-smash-apa-become-too-bitter-454609/). It was basically just a SMaSH with Maris Otter and Centennial (@45, 10, 5 , 3, 0) and it turned out quite...

Noted. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the reply! Definitely some important points (especially about the dark APA thing). I will try reformulating and posting the recipe in this thread for feedback.
