I harvested my chinook hops a month ago and plan on brewing an APA this week.

I usually use 100g of cascade added to the boil at 25g every 15 mins. I'ev at times added Amarillo to with 50g less of the cascade - a great beer BTW!

Anyone got a good mix using Cascade, Amarillo and utilising my ...

Nah, been heavily into APAs lately... still, i will get this one up and running again. Keen to see how it goes when kegged.

Cheers, Dr.

I'm keen to experiment with different hops. So I'll have a crack at those.

Cheers, Warra. It's not exactly Bitter weather, but good brewing weather for it... would go well to brew then cellar until the cold returns.

I thought I'd bring this back to the top... this was a good brew when i did it way back in the day. With years more experience I'nm going to have another crack at this, with better yeast and a different kit.

Will see how it goes - I need to keg some decent brew for the kraut inlaws for our Xmas eve ...

What? no reply at all?

This iste used to respond in minutes.... you;ve changed, maaaan!

Still no closer to an answer about an ESB.

Will do. Seems it's still giving me too much head... i never thought i'd say that!

OK, so on the fly i picked up a Coopers English Bitter and 500g of crystal malt.
Also have some Fuggles and 2kg of LDME at home....

Anyone have any ideas of a good recipe for this batch, especially for an ESB-style brew?

Cheers

Daz

cheers, greg. i'll have a crack at it.

OK, so I stuffed up and gassed at 325 for 2 days (about 55 hours) and my first taste tonight gave me more head than I've ever wanted.
Once the jar settles the rew is fine, just half a bloody pint is there!

I gave the keg a bog burp until it stopped burping, but still a creamy head. I'm hoping ...

Wassa,

i put it down yesterday. No honey...

I was tossing the idea around (I'm not a fan f honey in my beer though i have used it a lot in my formative years) but i couldnt find the yellowbox honey anyway, so the decision was made at the supermarket.

I had a sip when i was checking the gravity ...

I'm about to put a Cascade Choc Mahogany Porter down this weekend.

Will use a tin of coopers dark liquid malt, 125g choc grain, 25g Cascade hops, a kg of light malt and, after surfing the net for recipes, 100g cocoa....

see how that goes, though i do har many suggest adding honey....

I tried for cascade rhizomes and they were going for at least $70 on ebay... fuggit!
opted for a chinook that i got for $35. Will plant mine this week

G'day,

I'm planning on brewing a Coopers stout with 1kg of stout mix (a blend of dark malt, corn syrup and licorice powder) with 500g of dark malt extract.

I have 250g of choc malt grain. Would this be an odd mix with the licorice powder?

Also, the grain hasnt been milled. Normally id' just crack ...

mate, it tasted great warm and out of the tap. Reckon out of the special tap on the fridge it will a sensation

Ahhh... impatience took over (mainly my wive's) and i kegged it an hour or so ago.... just keen to get into it now!

I'm gonna keg this shortly. The OG was 1065 and is 1020 after 2 weeks. It took 3 days really fire up then it wet gangbusters. I dry hopped the remaining hops about a week ago.

Anyone reckon i should hold off? It's been quiet for about 2-3 days now. I reckon it's ran its course. I was hoping for a ...

no wuckers. as yet there's no life in the fermenter, but i find in these months it takes a bit longer then it brews madly.
I'll dry hop in a couple of days once the brewing really begins.

Thanks, fellas. I forgot to mention I will be kegging this little arse kicker. I'll let it bubble away for a couple of weeks and see what she's like.

OK, I boilt 8 litres (in two pots - halved all the adjuncts as the pot wasn't big enough), added 500g of a maltodextrin/dextrose mix (Coopers stuff u had lying around for priming purposes).

I hopped 25g at 30min, 25 at 45min, 25 at 60min, then 10g at flameout with the kit added.

I've kept 15g to ...
