    Munich Helles

    Hi guys, I have found an AG recipe that I'm keen to try for a Munich Helles. The BYO version and methodology seems within my capabilities! https://byo.com/european-pale-lager/item/747-helles-style-profile I was looking for some advice with regards to the amounts of water I should be...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    So, thought I would give an update on how this has gone. I gave it a full 10 days and took a hydrometer reading to hedge my bets. Then left it a further 2 days and measured again. Readings came back the same so I called that done, added a priming solution and fired it into the keg. The keg was...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    Right, so I got ants in my pants and decided to start a second batch for the outlaws benefit and just because I'm on vacation. Found a nice simple recipe that I wants to try for a dark lager. Got a cool place looked out: the recipe to make 5 gallons looks like this: 2.5 kg of dark malt extract...

    Rock on man. Looks absolutely fantastic. You deserve a lot of credit for the obvious thought and hard work put in here. The electric brewery looks to be a great setup. I hope you enjoy it! Subscribed!

    Howdy from a new brewer

    Thanks guys for the words of advice. I'm aiming for nothing more than drinkable in this batch. Just have to wait and see how it all turns out! The temperature of the batch it's self is around 21c. Ambient being lower today. Going to hydrometer tomorrow just to get an understanding of how it is...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    Ah that's a bummer if that's the case. Ive been at a very consistent 70 odd (21-23 degrees Celcius) ie room temperature like it said in the instructions! The more I read, the more I'm getting concerned about how this will actually turn out! However, if nothing else I'm becoming familiar with...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    That was the conclusion I came to because it was un-named. The guy in the store suggested this kit because it is the most user friendly. He did warn me that it wouldn't make a 'pure lager' but rather a tasty hybrid type. To be honest, I'll settle for something drinkable! Looking to move to a...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    Hi all, nice to be here! I did have a few concerns with the time scales mentioned. It basically stated: 5 days-@ room temp. Into a barrel with sugar and left for two days at room temp Into a cool dark space for 2-4 weeks. This was my major concern and in the end I erred on the side of just...

    Howdy from a new brewer

    Hey all! It being just after Christmas, this is another new brewer post! I'd been tempted and intrigued for a while with many videos watched and articles read. Christmas came and I decided to treat myself! Boxing Day (Dec 26) saw me use my first 'kit' which was a pilsner type effort. I'd done...
