Hey look at that!

Happy two year anniversary!
![]()
Thank you! I will see about doing this and how it turns out... can I do a steep of the grains and whirpool of hops and then add the extract to cool ?I havent done an official ESB no-boil yet, but have done an ordinary bitter. I'm a terrible note taker, but as near as I can recall:
2 gallons
1 lb golden light dme
.75 lb wheat dome
12 ozs maris otter pale ale malt
3 ozs crystal 80 malt
1 oz pale chocolate malt
1.25 ozs EKGs
.25 oz mittlefruh
1 pack London ESB yeast
Mini mash the grains and .25 oz EKGs at 152 for 30 minutes. Remove hops and thoroughly mix in the extracts. Heat to 190, add .75 oz EKGs and steep for 20 minutes. Chill to low 60s and pitch yeast. Day ten dry hop with .25 oz EKGs and .25 oz mittlefruh. bottle on day fourteen.
I can't see why not.Thank you! I will see about doing this and how it turns out... can I do a steep of the grains and whirpool of hops and then add the extract to cool ?
I have been making a lot of no boil no chill stouts. The head retention and flavour of these beers is excellent imho.
Dry Irish stout
24l batch 75% efficiency
full volume mash
3.5kg Maris Otter
1kg flaked barley
500g roast barley
mash at 65c, mashout at 75c for 15 minutes then into a no chill cube.
The next day i boil 25g of 10AA hops boiled for 30 minutes in 1.5l water with some wyeast nutrient. This should leave about 500ml.
Wyeast 1084 or Kveik (i normally use farmhouse Voss) but my current favourite is 1084.
I mostly use dme. Next on my brew list is a stout for Saint Paddy's day.Is there a way to do this with DME? or is LME the way to go? I don't do all grain so looking to do an extract version.

I made this yesterday. steeped grain ,and malt at 180 for 30 minutes. then whirlpooled/steeped hops for 45 minutes at 180. Let cool to room temp and pitched yeast this morning.I mostly use dme. Next on my brew list is a stout for Saint Paddy's day.

Let me know how yours turns out. I'll probably do mine over the weekend.I made this yesterday. steeped grain ,and malt at 180 for 30 minutes. then whirlpooled/steeped hops for 45 minutes at 180. Let cool to room temp and pitched yeast this morning.

I omitted the 2 ozs of caraffa II and probably shouldn't have. While the taste is good it's a dark brown instead of the black I would've preferred.Steve - I used Bullion instead of Palisades and scaled the grain bill up a bit to accommodate 3 gallons.
I steeped all the grain with the DME and enough water to hit 3 gallons at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. I then removed the grain and whirlpooled the hops for 30 minutes before removing from heat and letting cool to room temperature (over night).
I transferred the wort to fermentation vessel and pitched the dry yeast. Kept at 70 degrees for 6 days before cold crashing and conditioning in a fridge (or outside -winter here) for 4 days.
I kegged and force carbonated overnight for 12 hours at 40 PSI before bumping the gas down to serving pressure of 12 psi.
The results are amazing. Creamy thick foam, complex flavor with notes of toffee, coffee, roasted break and a slight bitterness from the hops and dark grains.
Anyone have a recipe for no-boil Mexican style cerveza?
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/the-lazy-german-raw-warm-fermented-pilsenerFor a lager to clear up better, I believe a boil is needed, maybe others can verify. No-boils are basically regular recipes that we don't boil so adjustment, adding grain for example, is needed, from a regular 60min boil. For IPAs, there might be some hop schedule changes otherwise it's a normal mash unless you really want to be quick and do extract only. Anyway here's a link to you might like.

Old thread, I know. But curious.... IF you added hops to the specialty overnight... A) could it be like a First Wort? B) would the hops help protect the grain wort from infection due to it's anti-bacterial properties?That's good news! I plan on mashing speciality grains for a stout/dubbel and cool overnight maintaining the 30min or less work time goal. This where I get more concerned with infections.
Any idea what ibu's you get from that? Brewer's Friend recipe software just defaults to 0 ibus when making a hop tea only.DIY flash brewing :
.25 oz of german mandarina boiled in 2 cups of water for 10 mins.
.25 oz german mandarina steeped for 5 mins in the hop tea when it cooled to 160.
strained into FV. through a sieve.
