So you think 20 degrees would be ok?

Hi all, I have no cold room in my brewery and just wondering has anyone seen results of ageing beer in oak barrels at about 20 degrees? A general consensus is the ideal temperature for ageing in barrels is about 10 degrees celsius but alas I can't get my cellar down to that temp. Many...

Thanks for all your help... Yeah the sales guy seemed to have given me the wrong information :D I'll stick the Crisp Marris Otter I think. I've just located a place that can supply it so back to brewing.. Cheers, Rob

Hi all, Having trouble locating malts where eI'm located. I normally use as base malt Marris otter for my pale ales as it seems to give amazing results. I can't get this anymore and the sales chap is saying that Weyermann BOHEMIAN FLOOR PILSNER malt is the same more or less. Anyone had...

ok, I'll give it a go at those temps...

Unfortunately I don't have enough space to maintain those temps. I'm brewing at 22-24 because its the temp of the room. :( I would like to try what you mentioned.

I'll give it a go and see if I get any differences. Thanks.

Hi all, I've been doing a nice all-grain pale ale recipe for some time now fermenting at around 22-24 degree's for the first fermentation then in the bottle at around 20 degree's for second in bottle carbonation. Works very well and tastes great. I recently read that some brewers after...

Ok thanks guys. Just to answer the questions: I was taking into account the correct metric system when calculating. My mixed results (now I know) seem to be from carbonating per bottle and not really controlling the c02 level correctly as you have all indicated. Also I was using normal caster...

I've just tried 5 different online calculators with the same numbers and each calculator displays a different value. hmmmm Now I'm confused. Is there a well tested calculator out there that everyone uses? Or is it a trial and error thing?

Ok, Just looking into bulk priming with another fermentor. Does this calculation sound right for a Pale Ale? Room temp is:22 degrees. Desired C02 Saturation: 2 volumes Amount of Liquid: 22 liters Amount of Priming Sugar: 116.38 grams of corn sugar (dextrose)

At present I'm adding sugar to every bottle. But I suspect when I do a bigger batch this process will be too time consuming. What are your thoughts?

Hi everyone. After doing various batches of all grain brewing and fermenting in bottles I'm still not sure what is the best type of sugar for carbonation? I've tried normal caster (white) sugar and dextrose brewing sugar. Someone mentioned corn sugar but here in Spain I can't seem to...

Hi everyone, I'm currently doing a 2 type fermentation with my all grain brewing. First fermentation in the fermentation tank then I doing second fermentation in 330ml bottles with sugar for the carbonation. I normally do 23L of brew. I wanted to hook up a beer tap to have my brew on tap and...

Hiya all, Looking for a good Aussie Pale Ale recipe. I have limited access to Aussie/Kiwi hops living here in Spain. I can get most of the UK/European ones no problem. I was going to try this as I have some Pride of Ringwood I picked up last time down under. What other hope could I use as an...

So you would use three different yeasts in the first fermentation process? How long would this entire 3 yeast fermentation go for? My IPA normally takes 3-4weeks. How do you know when to add the next yeast?

Ok. So I'm technically doing a double fermentation then :)

I normally ferment in my tank then bottle to carbonate. Is this what you mean?

Hi all, Done a few all grain brews and all seems to be working now. Just wondering how to do a double fermentation all grain brew? I've read some of the famous Belgium Trappist ales are double and triple fermented. Do I just add a second lot of yeast to the fermentation tank after the first...

I came out with about 22L of beer. I user the same amount of caster sugar to prime my beer as my partial mash (which comes out perfectly) about a teaspoon per 330ml bottle. Guess my doubts where with my partial mash as I add a lot of sugars (dme and lme) and was wondering if this somehow...
