In case anyone hasn't noticed, this isn't a post about my first recipe. Its my beer blog :whistle: I can understand where my mates are coming from Pat. I never really understood or properly appreciated beer until I started making my own. I have tried heaps of different beers and I think I have maybe...

If you are good at DIY or have the cash then get a temp controlled mash set up for sure (i wish I had one. The next brewery upgrade). But if I had to choose between a temp contolled mash and a temp contolled ferment? Id go the temp controlled ferment for sure. But then we have pretty eratic weather ...

The Krispy Kolsch recipe on this site it pretty dam tasty. Im no expert but I think making a kolsch is all about the yeast. To make the krispy kolsch more fruity just ferment at 18-19 degrees c with a kolsch yeast instead of 15c which makes it drier. Any basic pilsner recipe with a kolsch yeast migh...

BTW Pat the all Amarillo was my first AG brew and my mates didn't like it. It may have not attenuated enough but even after a long time conditioning it still didn't go down well. I also made a Krispy Kolsch. It was my first kegged beer and unfortunately I had a leaking picnic tap. Before I found out...

I had a great weekend. My very pregnant wife who just went on maternity leave got heaps of flowers and chocolates for Valentines Day and I got to brew a beer! and I learned a bit too. The demo at the G&G did actually include tomato, basil, oregano and thyme. I thought it was maybe some kind of joke ...

Yes I am definitely getting ahead of myself cwier. The boss is letting me brew this Sunday so I can brew the Amber ale from BCS, or my closest approximation of it. Im picking up the grains on Saturday and it just happens that they are doing a demo with all malts from Gladfeild, a New Zealand company...

So many Braumeister spin offs atm. This one does look like the ducks nuts though with heaps of options. I like the sound of "Graphical Interface with Speech Prompts". So you tell it "make beer" and it makes beer? I like the way the wort is recirculated back into the mash and not just through a hose ...

Ok how about this. For a 20lt into fermentor (batch size), Breiss Pale Ale 77.4% Victory 10.8% Breiss Caramel 60l 6.5% CaraAmber 4.3% Carafa Special III 1.1% Mashed at a very carefully monitored 67c/152f Looking at the Amber Ale and the West Coast Blaster in BCS they are a bit similar but have munic...

Unfortunately it looks like I dont have access to alot of American/Breiss malts but I can get Breiss Caramel 60l which could be a good sub for the carared. Not sure about the flavour difference though. Would the Cramel 60 be a bit more pronouned? I can get Victory too which could sub for the Munich?

That makes sense Rick. It was a bit of a silly question really. I almost answered the question in the question itself :roll: I have decided to use us05 on the next brew as its pretty nuetral so I can concertrait on the other ingredients. I'll keep that info on galaxy in mind thanks Goulaigan. I like...

No apolgies needed Pat. Any time/advice you or anyone can give is a bonus. Im finding that just writing about it gets me thinking about different approaches to the recipe. 1. Im guessing that you say 68c (154f) is too high becuase it adds a little too much body and unfermentable sugars making the be...

I had another look in BCS and the mash temps are actually 67c for the APA, 68c for the caramel APA, 68c for the amber and 65c for the AIPA. Theres also a West Coast Red ale in there that I totally missed :scratch: Researching amber/red ale recipes is a bit hard as alot of them have lovibond rated cr...

I forgot to mention that I have used Brun Water and additions on my last 3 brews (only tasted 2)and It seems to have been successful. I cant really from just a few brews though and I cant really tell with this beer until I up the malt flavour. Some of my lighter beers tasted a bit watery if that mak...

The beer is finished and Im very happy with the result but I am probably bias. The recipe was a bit different to what it started out as but it turned out alright, with some help. I dont know if its an APA or an AIPA or an AAA but its a pretty good beer. Experts may have a different opinion but since...

Thanks fella's. It helps to have a mate who can really draw. It only took him 1 night. I have some red gum peices for tap handles and thinking of mounting the label in some resin for the handle top. My zero min hops went into the kettle at about 90c and cooled over night. I also dry hopped about 10g...

First keg setup....

I've never seen the flow controllers before. I'll have to go for the long lines for now. I got a Perlick from Santa but I've been using picnic taps before that. With 3m of 5mm line it worked ok at 12psi at 5c but I was finding I would have to turn the gas off for most of the time or I'd get too much...
