Hi, I'm thinking of brewing an Amber with mosaic hops and rye malt. Going for a sort of spicey, fruity, cakey vibe. Terrible idea? Something like the following: Malt Marris Otter 6.5 pounds Rye Malt 2 pounds Munich Light 1 pound Crystal 40 1/2 pound Crystal 120 1/2 pound...

Hi, I want to make a honey pale ale. Nice simple pale ale with a good hint of honey coming through. Here’s what I’m thinking: Stats Boil Gravity: 1.045 Original Gravity: 1.051 Final Gravity: 1.013 ABV: 5.1% IBU: 40 SRM (L): 5.9 Volume: 6 gal Malts/Adjuncts Marris Otter...

Hi, I drain my (chilled) wort from the kettle by gravity, splashing straight into the fermenter oxygenating as it goes. Nice and simple. Currently I used a street elbow (like: http://www.brewershardware.com/1-2-MT-X-FPT-90-Street-Elbow.html) to redirect the flow from the ball valve...

Hi, I like nitro stout but I've currently got a CO2 based kegorator set-up and don't want to go the trouble of setting up for nitro serve. Would it be possible to adjust a dry stout recipe to make it more 'nitro like' with a CO2 serve, thicker mouthfeel, denser head, that kind of thing...

Hi, I live in the UK and I'd like to get a faucet wrench for my beer taps. American home brew shops all seem to sell custom made ones like this: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/faucet-wrench However these are hard to get over here, import is pricy so I'd prefer to just get a hook...

Hi, I've done a few BIAB batches and I think I've probably misinterpreted what dunk sparging means, what I've been doing is: - Full volume single temperature mash. 90 mins - Raise temperature to mash out and hold there. - Lift grain bag out of the boiler, let it drain a bit, dunk it back in...

Hi, I'm trying to piece together a simple recipe for a fairly hoppy American Amber/Red Ale. I want it to be reasonably balanced, quite rich and dark but with a nice clear American hop type flavor. It might be common but I'm very fond of Cascade and Centennial in APAs so was wondering whether...

Hi, I've got a stainless steel electric boiler than I've been using for brewing. I'd like to use it for BIAB. As such I'm going to put a guard/false bottom above the element to protect the bag during the mash. Easiest options seem to be cake trays or pizza screens but it seems to be rarer...

Hi, Relatively new to brewing, having just done kits and turbo cider. I've currently got a Coopers fermenter. This is a custom design with a krausen collar, a relatively loose fitting plastic lid (without airlock) and a spigot: http://www.homebrewdownunder.com/index.php?topic=1822.0...
