OK great, thanks Yooper. Not far off what I came up with and certainly clarifies the ordering of some of the sparge aspects of the process....worth the sanity check :) I'll go for 6.25 boil volume then, if i'm still low my yeast starter (decanted first if need be) should get me close. This will...

I brewed this 6 weeks ago ago. its been in bottle 3 weeks and there is a big difference from 2 weeks but needs a little longer I believe as mine turned out quite hot, but that is mellowing should be good in another 2 weeks.

Thanks all. Good feedback. Recipe is; 9 lb Maris otter 1 lb 12 oz crystal 80 L 1 lb 12 oz Munich malt 1.6 oz chocolate malt 0.5 oz peat smoked malt 0.6 oz magnum@60 0.3 oz gholdings@20 1 whirfloc@15 0.25 oz goldings@10 0.25 oz goldings@1 Wyeast 1728 ( Scottish) (1L starter - stirred) Boil...

Thanks both. I understand the result of not mashing out but just wondered if it was another homebrewing myth, I figured not, since its a well established technique but had not read any info as yet about the beta-amylase specifically being the target enzyme, thanks RM-MN. I like the concept of...

A scotch wee heavy.....

Thanks! 1) Makes sense 2) That's what I'm thinking, 12.6lb and 6G pre boil vol, for 5G in ferm after boil off and contraction. 3) Sounds good in principle, any evidence for this...? I thought enzymes didn't denature until well over typical mash out temps? 4) Ok so nothing special. But just to...

Thanks Yooper, more options to consider - or reconsider... :) Im glad you responded as I respect your opinions Im not hell bent on nailing my sparge water volumes (its no big deal to heat up an excess) AND if its best/normal practice to NOT drain the MLT then I wont. So, I will fly sparge...

Hi, this is my suggested process, sound OK? Some questions after step-by-step. Sorry for all the questions, first time and didnt see these directly addressed in all the research I have done so far.... Thanks for any help Ayup! No mash out all grain fly sparge method in a cooler MLT – 5G...

How does the manifold attach to the cooler outlet, im not seeing it. What parts are needed for the bulkhead? Thanks, just got my cooler today and want to grab the manifold parts this evening. Ayup!

Not sure if your still reading this, care to share your clone recipe? I would love to brew this up for my bro-in law 50th birthday bash! Thanks Julian

What do people carb this beer too? Im doing bottles. Thanks

5G common room ESB = 13,635

Made this at the weekend. I do BIAB and but am new and have only done 1 so far. I calculated a 60% efficiency on my last batch so for this I added some extra grain to compensate and to hopefully hit the OG. Anyway, I got a little extra effciency than I reckoned for and got an OG of 1.060. So...

Looks like a nice smooth head. Is it? Does it stick around untill the end? Which ingredients are responsible the smooth head? Thanks Ayup

+5G Yooper Dead Guy Clone (EX+SG) To style but didnt like too much. Was pretty boring, i know maibock are only lightly hopped, but maybe i should increase the water in the boil next time to tame the sweet/maltiness of this one and maybe ferment at cooler. Also the head was non-existent, again...

I get that changing hops would make different beer, the questions really was would it make this quick turn around beer taste good and if so what flavours would I get out of it. Admittedly I did not spend hours trawling google but if all we needed was google then this site would be redundant...

Great, thanks! I'll have to see if my neighbour can fit the carboy into his spare fridge. Failing that an ice/water bath in a tote of somekind would have to do. Cheers.

Highly informative.

Yes that would work. Thanks. Any thoughts on the hops? Sorry, bit of a novice. I think if I put my Chinook in as Centennial and Willamette as Cascade but reduce boil times a little on the Chinook then the bitterness levels we be about right but just not sure on the taste differences? Cheers.

Its been a week since I made this. Gravity now at 1.020, still bubbling every 30 secs or so so maybe it will get a little lower.... What temperature do you consider cold crashing? and when/how long would you do it for? Thanks for any help. Ayup
