Does anyone here use the SS Brewtech kettle and the option for the False bottom? I'm looking to upgrade to a better brew pot but I'm concerned about all the trub getting into my carboy. Their trub dam looks interesting and from a couple of reviews I have seen seems to work pretty well so I...

After adjusting the acids in Beersmith, I have the initial addition at 60, the middle at 15, and the end going at flameout while the dry hop stays the same. That got me into the right ballpark with the IBUs. Still a touch higher than indicated but a lot closer. I'll give it a try making it...

Well, I'm not exactly a complete beginner as I've been doing it for a few years now but this will actually be my first attempt at an IPA however. While I'm obviously trying to replicate what they make. I'm fine with experimenting little bit to find what works for me and what doesn't. That...

Ok, I'm going through the BrewDog DIY Dog manual and I'm studying their Punk IPA recipe. The recipe says that it is 40 IBU but when I read the complete list of hops, I can't figure out for the life of me how the IBU can come to that number. When I enter in all the hops into Beersmith, it...

So I brewed he Electric India recipe today using 2-ro as the base and I'm thinking about doing the Punk IPA next weekend but they seem to use quite a bit of "Extra Pale" malt which seems to be not readily available in the USA. Is the closest thing to a USA available many the normal Maris Otter...

I've only been brewing for 2 years and all grain for the last year but I made my attempt at a Welsh Ale last spring and plan on making it again in a month or 2. It was a hit with the people who drink my stuff. Essentially it was as follows: 7 lb 4 oz Maris Otter 8 oz Flaked Wheat 4.5 oz...

I'd really be interested in what they used. I did my own recipe based on some clones I've seen and what I sampled on vacation. They are pretty similar to and English pale ale or ESB. My recipe used some Bramling Cross and WGV hops with the wyeast Whitbread Ale yeast. It should be...

I'll plan on sharing the recipe on here when I'm done. It was my attempt at something similar to a close of Felinfoel Brewery's Double Dragon Ale from Wales. I sort of took all the various recipes I had found online (there were only a few) and made it my own. I have no idea if it will be...

Cool, thanks for the info. I used Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Ale yeast and it fermented approximately 63-64 degrees. It appeared to be a good clean fermentation from my starter with a good krausen for about 3 days and then subsided. My yeast starter was 3/4 cup of light DME for 1300ml.

I'm currently doing a ESB. Starting OG target was 1.048. I took the initial reading with both a hydrometer and a refractometer that I recently purchased. Hydrometer read 1.048. The refractometer read 1.045 I did a 1.3 l yeast starter and it has been fermenting for a week. I took a reading...

Anyone else have any experience with this hop? I stumbled across this while looking at some clone recipes for Felinfoel Brewery's Double Dragon Ale so I got some ingredients to try my own variation on the recipes. It's fermenting right now so I have no idea how it will come out in the final...

I'm of Welsh decent myself so I'm a bit curious about this I recently got this book called Clone Brews. It has 200 commercial brewery clone recipes and one of them is Brains Brewery's Traditional Welsh Ale. This is pretty much the most popular beer in Wales and I first learned about it when I...
