Moi, been travelling, so sorry for late answer. Yes the stuff is kotikalja, thanks for the Prisma tips, I will try it.

Hi

You seem to have been busy, quite a few posts in a short time. Maybe we have to make a Finish "local team", where in Finland are located?

Finnish Dark Rye

Hi I made a beer from the pieces I had left, and had to find some more grains to get the OG I wanted. I bought malted dark rye from from the grocery shop here in Finland. I would estimate it to be about 400 EBC. It is used to make low alcohol rye beer here. Anyway, I think this beer turned excellent...

Thanks PP I'll continue brewing, I'm actually watching my 4th brew boiled now. It is a rye/munich beer (the left over from my other brews). Ihe Schwartz was very tasting and I have to make some more. PS the reason for low alcohol beer is so I can have two bottles before the kids ask why I'm singing....

Update on Schwartzbier. The Schwartzbier turned out really nice and tasty, I only have a few bottles left, which I will save for later, to see how it age. The Schwartzbier was actually so tasty that I thought my next brew a NC brow ale was watery, but yesterday my wife had a NC brown ale out on the ...

Thanks! So if I brew "low" alcohol beer, I can concentrate on the malt to bitterness ration and the taste from special malts. I can adjust the FG by lowering or increasing the mash temperature. It does look like BIABacus does not take this into account? A other question would be how much the special...

Hi

The picture in post 1 is from the fermenter before the cold crash. After the cold crash I siphoned the beer on top of my priming sugar (no yeast as I wrote :)).

I guess a issue may may be that warm sugar solution does not mix to good with cold beer.

Hi Yes, the FG is was a bit higher than expected, but then again the yeast I wanted to use did not start. The reserve yeast I used does not state a expected attenuation only that it will settle out easy...I did dehydrate it. I have now open 4 bottles and have some "strange results". 2 of them was wa...

Thanks for looking at this.

I verified my thermometer against a second one, so it should be fine. I think I will write this off as me messing up the grain bill of bad grain.

Hopefully my next one will be better.

Here is the numbered I collected during the brew-day. Mash temperatures: 69 C at after mash in 67 C after 45 min --> raised to 69 67 C after 90 min raised to 75 during xx min 10 min mash out at 75 C Pre-boil pH : 5.5ish Boil time 90 min OG (End of boil Gravity) = 1.041 FG 1.016 Edit: Opened a bottle...

Here is the xls file. I did almost follow the recipe on page 3 of the thread. Amount Item 13.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 2.00 lb Corn, Flaked (1.3 SRM) 1.00 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) 1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) 0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) 0.25 lb Ca...

Watery beer

Hi Tasted my second brew today after two weeks on the bottle. It has nice color and good head, but the taste is watery, but no off taste that I can detect. It was suppose to be a English Brown ale, and a it has gotten a lot of good review on the net. See Aberdeen Brown Ale on HomeBrewTalk.com. I hav...

One in the bottles and one in the fermenter. I waited 2 more days and cheeked SG again and it was the same, so now the beer is on the bottles. Made and other batch of Brown Ale and put it in the fermenter last night, first time with a liquid yest Wyeast 1098. This was a direct pitch yeast, so I did ...

Progress update. The worth has been fermenting for 12 days now and the yeast has settled out on the bottom. The last couple of days there has been almost no bubbles so I took a gravity reading today morning. After shaking out the CO2 and let the foam settle the gravity was between 1.013 and 1.014. S...

Hi

I think I will make my next bag from dobbed material and try to use leaf hops as a filter like in this thread. I have simulate type of hops filter in my kettle, so with a slow flow rate and leafs instead of pellet hops, I hope I get a clearer worth next time.

Hi Finally I got around to brew my first beer. The "outdoor sauna" I brew in smelled like my home town when they made beer there, I guess that is a good sign :) I had some miss steps I will try to fix next time. 1. I was low on gravity into kettle (goal 1.035, measured 1.025-1.030) had some issue wi...

Hi. Was putting my equipment together yesterday and also finished rebuilding my old refrigerate to a fermenting chamber. It keeps within +/- 0.5 deg C from 5C to a bit over ambient :) . Also filled in the BIABcaus. I will test everything with just water and then try to make the Schwatzbier as in att...

Hi All Thanks for the reply's. I can get hold of Saflager W34-70 but currently cannot ferment at colder than 18 C, is this to warm for a Schwartz? I have an old refrigerator that I will rebuild to a fermentation chamber. Maybe i should go for a Brown Ale for the first brew.... No sight of the pot ye...

My first ever brew.

Hi Over the last week I have collected my brew bits and pieces. Now the time has come to figure out what beer to try to make. I found one for Schwartzbier on this site. It is from PistolPatch. -- Style: Schwartzbier. This recipe can be brewed equally as well as a lager or an ale. Name: Yeast: If bre...
