Help needed

If you get it from somewhere like Craftbrewer that vacuum seals it, it lasts a few months even when cracked - uncracked even longer so if you have your own mill you can go a bit nuts.

Thanks. Ive just purchased a liquid yeast (Californian Ale). So far ive boiled 1 Litre of water and 100g of malt @ 10min, and cooled it to room temp. Than i placed wort and yeast in a 2L coke bottle. So how long should i let it ferment for before sticking it in stubbies and refridgerating? And also how much should i stick in each stubbie? Thanks..

Cheers Damo

WTF, this is the most meandering OT thread I have ever read in my life. Bah.

To answer your question, the search function is fhot, no?

I think I drank too much beer.

Thanks again rwh. I just did a search and still couldnt find the same thread. Doh. Other threads i read made me more confused, but yours hits the nail on the head.
I have a couple of pdf files that seem interesting. One is Beer- Tap into the art and science of brewing 2nd edition and the other one is the homebrewers recipe guide. There about 6mb.

Links?

[damian44]

My brother gave them to me on a CD. Could i email them?

[Kevnlis]

I think those were for sale on eBay. They were distributed as an open license which also gave you permission to on-sell them?

Probably, try and drag the program onto your desktop and email it from there.

If it autoruns, try and get it not to via the my computer icon and open it from there.

Is this it? It appears to be a free download? --> http://www.ebookee.com/Beer-Tap-into-th ... 31248.html

[damian44]

Yeah thats the one.

[Kevnlis]

I have received the recipe pdf from Damian (thank you very much!) and it is actually different from the one I had previously had. I will upload it to my website for all to indulge. If anyone out there had a pdf of recipes (it said something in it about being free to on-sell and it was quite long!) I would really like to have it again! I am pretty sure it came from eBay but I can not remember the name of it. Maybe it was KEG or Doc? I am not sure where I got it from but I think it was sent to me and not linked?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Will post links tomorrow!

[Kevnlis]

Links are up, enjoy!

(please right click the links and save the files to your PC, thanks!)

I was after some help furmulating a hops schedule for an extract recipe. I wanted to combine Saaz (2.5%) and Cascade (?). I have some 80g Fuggles (4.7%) and 21g of Hallertau Hersbrucker (3%) id like to use up for bittering, if it wouldnt compromise the Saaz and Cascade effect. Thats if Saaz and Cascade even go well together? My other ingrediants are ..
1.4kg light liquid malt
2kg light malt extract
200g Crystals (steeping)
Californian Ale liquid yeast WLP001
Maybe 23l volume
Unfortunatly my pot will only do a 5 litre boil.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think this would work ok in terms of bitterness etc., but I haven't tried Saaz with Cascade...

30g Cascade @ 60 mins
20g Saaz @ 15 mins
15g Saaz @ 0 mins

With the boil volume try and add the malt in to get the estimated SG. Probably about 500g malt I'd say.

I would bitter with Fuggles, flavour with both, and aroma with Hersbrucker. Maybe something like:

500g dry extract in the boil with the liquor from the steep with your 4L of water
60g Fuggles full 60 min boil
10g each of Fuggles and Herskbrucker @20
10g each of Fuggles and Hersbrucker @dry hop

[damian44]

Thanks guys. Ive got my next 2 brews worked out, so i should be able to sleep better now.
Cheers Damo

[Kevnlis]

You will sleep even better once you have gotten a taste of PA's Cascade and Saaz
