Sorry If you misunderstood. No I followed the recipe exactly. 62% Pale 14.1% Munich 8.5% Brown 7.0% Chocolate Malt 2.8% Light Crystal 5.6% Dark Crystal It ended up looking amber/brown in the hydrometer tube. I added steeped carafa in afterwards in an attempt to darken it- without altering...

I brewed this a week or so ago. Still in the fermenter it had the color of a brown ale! Not sure what went wrong, maybe my chocolate malt wasn't dark enough? Anyway I steeped 100g (just under 4oz) of Carafa T2 in hot water for 10 mins, then boiled the jet black liquid for 15 mins and added it...

I started my sour mash yesterday. The pot is sitting in an urn filled with water and an STC1000 is keeping the temperature steady between 116 and 117F. Its already smelling and looking very funky. I BIAB and therefore dont have a lauter. At what stage should I add the sour mash to the main...

I'm going to brew this on the weekend.. I'm just a bit curious as how you got to those numbers though... At 75% efficiency, I had to adjust my recipe to 10.5lb of grain, rather than 9 to get to that OG. And around 2.8 oz of Willamette @ 4.4%AA to get to 40 IBU. Side note: At 60 mins, would...

You know what? Now that it's been sitting in the keg for a month I totally agree with you. It balanced out and it's just fine how it is. I might try up the oats a bit but otherwise leave it as is. Cheers

I just kegged this yesterday. Hit 1.058 OG and it finished at 1.018. I had a bit of extra Magnum left over in the bag so I threw it all in, I calculated my IBU to be at 71, and it shows! Big lingering bitterness, though that will fade a bit with age. Brilliant hop profile, great amount of...

I've brewed this one several times now. Fantastic!!! Though I sub NB for Magnum and Willamette for Fuggles, or even EKG. Yeast I use WY1099 Whitbread. I've added two scraped vanilla beans to secondary, as well as oaked it on bourbon barrel chips. I also up the cocoa to 100g (3oz) The next...

Well I've just tapped the keg, and it's awesome! There's a subtle pecan aroma on the nose, good roasty hit on the first sip then bam! there's pecan that lingers on like you've just eaten a nut. I used WY 1469 and Challenger instead of NB as mentioned earlier. I have to say, this was one of the...

I'm brewing this one next. :) Though I dont have 1275 on hand, I do have 1469 and 1099. I think I might go the 1469. And I'll use Challenger instead of Northern Brewer. I have heard that the woody fibres that come in the nuts, but arent actually part of the nut cause astringency. Has this...

Hey guys, I dont have WY 1968, but do have english ale yeasts 1469PC Yorkshire and 1099 Whitbread. Any suggestions on which one would be best suited? Cheers

Oh right! I didnt realize you couldnt use urns on 110 volts.. So how the hell do you guys boil water for tea & coffee for large amounts of people eg: at functions etc? Anyway, it's still not too far off the mark to use one 40L (10 gal) vessel, and a burner underneath. Most people do BIAB that...

Hey guys :) Found this thread via a random link to elsewhere on this forum... Im an Aussie - I live in a small house in Sydney with a courtyard and like the OP I simply dont have the room for a three vessel system.... So, I went with BIAB and I couldnt be happier with my results and id...
