Hey guys. Sorry I missed it but I was sick as a dog on Saturday and not up to it. My brother was still keen to use the tickets and then pulled out at the last minute otherwise I would have offered the tickets up. Oh well, ended up with a silver for one of my beers so I guess it was still worth the h...

Can't make it this weekend. One of my entries is still fermenting as well so I won't bottle that until next Monday night once I've carbed the keg up. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute.

I'm currently sipping on a pint of my Scottish ale as I type. I based it on the recipe provided by 2trout above, with a 120 min boil. I also boiled off some of the wort in a smaller pot to caramelise it and get a good maillard reaction. Turned out awesome really clean malt profile with just a hint o...

Anyone know a good Scottish ale Recipe ?
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a recipe for for a Scottish ale along the lines of Belhaven Scottish Ale. I've done a bit of research and have narrowed it down to Chariot ale malt, which I will substitute for marris otter, although if I had any golden promise I would use that, as base. Specia...

I agree with you there HbgBill. I have two fermenters containing lagers in my fridge which I'm about to rack and CC at -2 for a couple of weeks. I'd hate to have wasted a month on oxidised cat's piss. Especially when you consider lower temps increase the solubility of gases in a liquid.

Thanks Bob.
That's pretty much what I had pictured.
Will have to start filling with the CO2 blanket myself as the rest of your method is the same as what I do and it makes sense to start with a short blast of CO2 as well.

rdeselle, I am connecting the C02 gas to the gas in post on the keg. This just like your going to connect it regularly in the refrigerator. The gas connecters are sort of like putting air in a cars tires. You don't have a lever to push the connection opens the valve internally. The gas stays in the...

Wow. That seems like a lot of messing around, but hey if it's effective and your happy then that's all that matters, well done. Not really a viable option when you have over 12kg of grain added, which results in over 20kg of wet grain.With this large of a grain bill I have a pully rigged to a small ...

Hi Bob. I usually soak the sock in starsan and weigh it down with a spare stainless fitting lying around.I generally preferr to use the large tea balls picture in this thread http://biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1111 . I usually work on between 20 and 30 grams of hop pellets to a 19L corny dep...

My opinion on dry hopping if anyone is interested, is to the keg, especially if using pellets. Gives it a fresh hop burst I've never been able to recreate any other way. With fresh hop flowers it can be a little full on and needs to sit for a week or two to mellow out, so if your in a hurry, probabl...

Just an update on this beer which finally made it's way to tap. The verdict is IMHO that it adds the complexity of flavour without the added body. In other words if I was to achieve this much malt profile adding my specialty grains to the mash at dough in, I would probably end up with a much chewier...
