Dear Wise Council of Esteemed Elder Brewers,
I want to make a bock but Iââ¬â¢m not yet ready for mashing/all grain (I have a book and will be trying it this year).
Coopers have a recipe with two cans and DME. My question is: Would one can and half the water yield the same result? I...
Thank you for the response - the 2nd one I have to hop is a wee heavy. It is only 6 weeks old. I was going to leave it 3 months before bottling. Should I dry hop it earlier or wait and then dry hop? It's my first attempt with the style.
Me again!
I'm about to dry hop two beers and wanted some advice.
I have a Coopers pilsner which is 2.5 months old. I've got 100g hallertau hops and was going to add 40-50g for around 5 days - does this sound okay? I want flavour, not bitterness.
My question is, after removing the hops...
Is there a product you can recommend for someone at the kit/extract level? I'm reading about partial/mini mash but I don't think I'm there yet.
Thanks!
Hi Terry
Can you recommend a product/volume that I should use? I normally use a kit, add crystal malt and lme or dme. I don't think my skill level is good enough to mash yet. Is there a product that I can add to my existing process?
I've read about wheat malt, torrified etc - I'm a bit...
Iââ¬â¢ve really enjoyed beer kit and extract brewing but Iââ¬â¢m tired of **** head retention.
I need to start partial mash ââ¬â everything Iââ¬â¢ve read suggests it is cheaper, gives good head (sorry) and allows more creative control.
I believe I understand the process but...
Hi
I want to make a nut brown ale. I was going to follow a coopers kit recipe but feedback from this website says the IBU is too high for the style.
A wilko kit was suggested. My inner snob isnt sure (I know nothing about them) - does anyone have an opinion?
Any nut brown ale advise...
If you have a few recipes - that'd be great! I've been reading about bock and wanted to give it a go. I like lager when I was younger (and didnt know better) but now feel it is bland compared to beer/ale. I like heavier bodied beers. A lager in this style interests me!!
Thanks again.
Dear wise council of esteemed elder brewers!
I wish to make a nut brown ale. Can you review my recipe and feedback?
1.7kg Coopers Dark Ale, 1.5kg of amber malt extract, 2 x 500 Crystal Malt grain...
I'm not familiar with helles - could you tell me more about which kit/extract recipe you prefer? I'm a big malt lover and want to get a good variety of things I can make.
Thanks!
Thanks for the advice. I'll have a look at Brewferm.
I've seen a couple from youngs/muntons. I've never used these suppliers - do you have thoughts about them in general?
