that's great - sounds like about 2 -3 months - around christmas - which is nice and timely.

it was very low only 4.14 IBUs from a Halletauer addition. Should I transfer to a secondary now and wait a couple of months?

hi - this is a question about WLP630 and how long I need to let it sit after using this only to ferment it. I am hoping that someone might have experience with this blend who can tell me. thanks

Hi, can you tell me how long I need to leave it to sour? I am using WLP630. Cheers

Hi, can anyone tell me how long I need to leave this beer for the souring to occur and what temperature range to keep it at. It has finished the primary fermentation (went like mad for a couple of days) and now, I am not sure what to do. cheers

its just a coffee plunger

Thanks for that reply!

Two hearted..... who farted?

THanks for that great advice. Do you have any opinions on hop tea as an alternative to dry hopping?

The first stout that I made which I was happy with the flavour I used 500grams of Chocolate Malt and 500 grams of Black Malt or Roasted Barley and 1 Kilogram of Crystal malt, then about 3.5 kilograms of Base Malt (e.g. Pilsener Malt or Maris Otter - it doesn't really matter. What you get is a...

Thanks for posting this. I will give it a go. Cheers

Has anyone used Simcoe with Centennial or Citra? Cheers

What do you think it combines well with, and how much Simcoe do you use when you brew in combination? Cheers

So it is Mash Efficiency less loss from trub?

I just did an overnight mash and got an immediate 15% increase in efficiency from low 70's up to high 80's. My grain is crushed pretty well, and everyone keeps telling me just crush finer, but I dont think that is the issue and I am getting way better efficiency just by letting it sit there...

So you are saying you need to take a gravity reading before the boil for Mash efficiency?

Thanks for that. I don't have trouble with sparging as I use nylon netting to line the cooler so I can pull the grain away from the ball valve outlet. But I will go for a finer crush and see what happens.
