Hmmm... not really the answer I wanted to hear but of course that doesn't mean it's not the right one! Not quite at the stage where I will be milling my own grains so might get ingredients for 2-3 brews at a time (I'm trying to get a pipeline going but am early on in my brewing career and...

Hey howdy hey my brewing brothers and sisters, As soon as I get paid in a couple of weeks time (I swear the months get longer and longer!) I will be putting in an order for some ingredients. I kind of want to 'future proof' my stash and not have to make a separate order for every recipe I...

Although I am a very, very inexperienced brewer, Revvy seems to be right about most things judging by the fact that (a) it usally makes total sense and (b) most of the other experienced brewers on here tend to agree with him. However, in my VERY humble opinion, he does enjoy letting you know...

Oui, c'est vrai. Carry on :-)

Awesome, thanks. Thought the IBUs might be a touch high so will probably just add .5oz. at the beginning of the boil. Got a lot of beer to drink before then though :-)

I used 70g table sugar for 15 litres of beer and mine ended up slightly overcarbonated (for my tastes). I think using over three times as much sugar (getting 5 vol CO2) means that he probably did overcarbonate, n'est-ce pas?

Ha! Don't make me jealous dude... We can get some of the most well-known US craft beers over here but only if you're willing to put a dent in your wallet. I bought one 12oz bottle of Stone Ruination for around $6.50. If you buy beers like that in a bar (if you can find them) they will run you...

Presenting to you all... my 'Whamarillo' recipe! 3lb 12oz Maris Otter 3lb 12oz Wheat Malt 05.lb Crystal 60 .75oz Amarillo 60 min 1oz Amarillo 10 min 1oz Amarillo flameout (will let the temp drop to under 175f before I add this) at 75% efficiency this nets me an OG of 1044 and should...

Just have to add to the Lake Walk love-in. This turned out really nicely - it's a freakin delicious beer. Unfortunately I only have 4 bottles left and it's probably just getting to its peak (about 4 weeks in bottles). This was only my second batch but will definitely be brewing this again...

Never actually drunk an american wheat, I don't think. Definitely up for giving it a go though... Might go with an all Amarillo hop schedule just because I really love it and it would make a nice fruity beer. What kind of IBUs do you reckon I should aim for? 20-30?

Hi all, I have the following grains & hops and want to know whether the more creative amongst you can come up with a recipe for delicious beer I can make without having to buy anything else. I don't have any yeast but can pitch onto a cake of 1056 from my Black Pale Ale currently fermenting (or...

Man, this just keeps getting better and better, I really should have left it a bit longer as I now only have a few bottles left. Oh, a lesson for next time that I'll probably ignore...

Links? This seems quite interesting (but not quite interesting enough to research it myself by using the search!)

I went on a 4-day training course at a commercial brewery here in the UK and the head brewer was not really concerned with efficiency. I wish I could remember the numbers he used as an example, but with the amount of grain that they get through and how much it costs, he wasn't bothered about...

She gonna be able to drink all that by herself? :mug:

Do you mash the Carafa for the entire time or add it later on? Cheers, Dan

I did this on my first batch (only on my second!) and from what I understand it doesn't matter, just make sure that the gravity is stable for a few days (i.e. it's definitely finished fermenting) before you keg it. As was pointed out above, you won't know your ABV but this is fun to calculate...

Brew this badboy: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/edcculuss-amarillo-smash-80137/ It really is a fantastic beer.

If you use something to filter the runoff from the mash tun, is it still necessary to vorlauf?

I MADE BEER!!!!1 Bottled last Saturday so has only been in there 9 days. Really tried my hardest to leave it another week but failed. I was a little worried as it didn't taste that great from the bottling bucket (whereas my only previous batch was delicious). However it's nicely carbed already...
