Hello, I brewed a small batch (11.5 litres) of Chocolate stout the other day. I would like to add some chocolate extract on bottling day, has anyone done this? I’m not sure how much to add? Thanks for any input.

Thank you for the replies, I only do 2.5 gallon batches currently, so volume shouldn’t be an issue.

When doing BIAB do you do a full volume mash? Thanks, Ryan

Looks good, mines still in the primary. What did you use for chocolate additions? And when did you add them?

Hello, Just wondering about backing sweetening a 10L kit wine. I’m thinking of keeping a small amount of concentrate (500ml-1L) out of the fermentation, and re adding it after stabilization. Has anybody tried this? Will it work? Is that enough juice to hold back? Any input is greatly...

That looks good.

Thanks, I might up it to 4oz then.

Thanks, How big of a brew was it?

Hello, I’m just looking for some advice. I’m going to brew the following stout next week. I’m wondering how much cocoa powder I should add to the boil, and for how long? I’m thinking 3oz for the last 5 minutes? Thanks in advance. Basic Information Batch Name: Chocolate stout Brewed By: RyeGuy...

Thank you for the feedback. I have adjusted the hop addition times, and might attempt my first partial mash with this one.

I am just looking for any comments on a English Pale Ale recipe I’m thinking of brewing. I’m new to making my own recipes, but I’m looking to make a sessional beer. I want to use golding hops as I am going to be growing them this summer. Basic Information Batch Name: Golding PA Brewed By...

Hello, I’m having trouble with getting my beer to carbonate enough. What would be a good amount of priming sugar for a 23 litre batch? Does altitude/temperature change the amounts needed? Thank you.

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely try doing it differently next time. I’m sure I will still get through the whole batch.

I steeped some Munich and crystal malts at 155f for 20 minuets in 9 litres of water. I then brought this to a boil, removed from the heat and added 9lbs of light LME. I returned this to the heat and boiled for 30 minutes, adding my cascade hops at the desired times. There was a total of 1/2 lb...

I did use liquid extract, and that’s what I thought, but nothing was stuck to the kettle.

Hello, I just brewed a Best Case IPA, and transferee it to secondary. It tastes really burnt. Does anyone know why this could be? I’m thinking of trying to turn it into a coffee IPA with cold brew to mask some of the burnt. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for that. I'll try the .75 oz buttering addition.

Hi there, I was just looking for some input on an extract brew recipe. I've made a few from kits, but never from scratch. I'm looking for a low alcohol IPA, I guess that would be an ISA. Any thoughts on this? Basic Information Batch Name:Centennial IPA Brewed By: Style:American IPA...

I bottled the whiskey oak chipped stout about a month ago, the flavour is great, but there is little to no carbonation. Could this be caused from the oak? Or not enough priming sugar? Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for that, I've got about 3.5 oz of medium toasted American oak chips.
