Hi guys, Had a play around with about 250g of my barley. Soaked overnight in water then left to dry all day. Repeated this two more times and white buds started to grow out of the barley. I spread it out on some paper towel and put some more paper towel on top and kept this top sheet moist with mist...

ATM I'm brewing a pilsner. Just about to put it into secondary. Then its a quick Kolsch. Then the stout. I've been experimenting with the grains. I've done a test malting which has been successful and roasted some of the unmalted grain at different temps and times. I'm going to redo the recipe inclu...

FWIW, after 9 days at 10*C the gravity has gone from 1.061 to 1.011. The beer is very light in colour but rather cloudy. Tonnes of tiny bubbles when i take a sample. Tastes very nice, very hoppy, but with a slight fruity twang. I've increased the temp to 18*C and will leave it there for 2 - 3 days t...

Hey PP all up I used 16 litres of distilled water, 10 litres of boiled tap water and 5 litres of sparge water. Dunno what happened with the high grav reading but I'm happy that I got through the process without too many hitches. Will make the next one (and many more after that) a bit easier.

So the plan went ahead almost as planned.... For anyone considering doing BIAB don't hesitate, just jump in there. It took 7 hours and I had a mate over helping. It was great fun. We're looking forward to tasting the results. I used 16L of distilled water & the rest tap water. Mash in 5.8kg of Wey P...

Nice, I'll look into that. I've roasted some barley which smelled marvelous & sketched out the following..... 62.5% Pale malt. (or breiss 6 row) 8.3% each of Caramalt, Crystal, my unmalted barley & my roasted barley 4.2% chocolate malt 60 min mash @ 70c Fuggles & Goldings @ 60 Goldings @ 30 Goldings...

Malting isn't ging to happen just yet. Roasting maybe. Maybe 15% straight up, 15% a nice roasted & 70% high enzyme malt. Would Aussie pale malt do the trick? I'm sure it would with a 90 min mash. Maybe a bit of crystal too. How exciting....can't wait to throw something together.

Lol Yeasty!! I've got Lloyds Krispy Kolsch (oringinal) recipe bookmarked for the next one. I have a lager fermenting now. I figure if I do the pilsner, then the krispy kolsch, in the long run I'm waiting less time between fininshing the Kolsch, finishing the lager and starting the pils. So you recko...

Hi, Sorry if this has already been put up but is there a separate forum for site sponsors, shops, online retailers etc where they can advertise so noobs like me can be directed to a good company that won't rip me off. There's that many online shops and who's to know about the freshness or how they p...

Malt Barley Grains

Hi All, I'm looking at doing my first BIAB soon and my mate can get some Malt Barley grains straight from his dad's farm. I've tried to google my options and had a search on a few different forums but feel like I'm at a dead end. What are my options using this? When people mention "barley" do they m...
