http://www.biabrewer.info/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2758" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


I want to do a drier and bitter beer with less %ABV
so I did this recipe putting less CaraPils and without WheatMalt > for less body
mesh temp at 65° > more fermentable sugar > dryer beer
40 IBU instead 30IBU

what do you think about?
any advices or suggestions?

hi DD, thanks for the advice :peace:

80% Pale Malt Maris Otter (5,5 EBC = 2,8 SRM) 7439 grams 16,40 pounds
10% Vienna (6 EBC = 3 SRM) 930 grams 2,05 pounds

look better now? :drink:

another question,
how long I should have to conditioning before drink it?
just three weeks or better to wait four or more!?

Three weeks should be plenty to carb up and will be good. It will continue to improve with time as it conditions further. Double edge sword being that after a few months(around 3 imo) your fresh hop aroma will begin to fade.
I know a few pros in the industry that insist beer must be drank fresh.

I always tried to follow the 333 suggestion I read somewhere a long time ago (forgot where). 3 weeks fermentation, 3 weeks carbing and 3 weeks conditioning for average gravity brews. I usually would start drinking the beer before the 3 weeks conditioning was complete. By the time the 3 weeks of conditioning was complete, I had awesome beer. Only problem was that by that time, I only had a few left. Did it taste better because it was better, or did it taste better because I knew it was the end of the batch?

Your hoppiness will disipate with time as Dave said.

Yeah im finding 2 weeks to carb but the beer tastes best after 6 weeks in the bottle. You just have to resist the temptation to drink them before then which is why I try and brew often (but never can) to have plenty of reserves.
