    Efficiency query - not hitting target

    You using different grain? I've been having efficiency issues for the past few months. I had been hitting 80-85% doing biab and was down to 65-70%. Last batch I started a new lot of grain. Efficiency that batch was 82%..

    What are you drinking tonight 2023.

    A few months ago I made a pale ale with pale, light Munich, and white wheat malt. One addition of EKG ten minutes before end of boil. Used S-33 yeast. This is very enjoyable. The hop aroma has certainly diminished but the flavor is still there. I like simplicity. I dont need nine malts and six...

    Chilling a Porter after fermentation

    For just a couple days you might consider just leaving the heat on. It's probably cheaper than having to warm up the entire house again when you return. Gone for a week or more probably worth dropping the heat. I know this has gotten expensive for you across the pond. If you do the math I bet...

    Sugar vs more malt

    I have a mild I make now and then that finishes about four percent abv and a gravity of 1.006. I use invert syrup in it to lighten the body. Beer has plenty of flavor from crystal and a touch of black patent. I make a stout with molasses. Molassrs does add some flavor and helps dry out the...

    Ukraine: Russia has launched 'full-scale invasion'

    They used to call Ukraine " The USSR's bread basket". Isn't a lot of arable land in Russia. Don't think this is Putin's reason but there is a benefit to Russia having a puppet government in Ukraine.

    Asbestos

    Older friend of mine worked at the Newport News shipyard in the late 1950's through early 1960's. Asbestos related lung cancer finally got him. My father died of brain cancer, a glioblastoma multiform. Doc said asbestos caused a lot of this. Dad worked in a number of heavy industrial settings...

    Coopers Australian Pale Ale

    I do all grain but hold the line at about 40 ibu. I read a story about people developing borderline hop allergies from drinking so many mega-ibu beers. Body can only take so much of anything.

    Base grain for most brews?

    2 row pale malt. If I need more maltiness I can add some Munich, Vienna, or similar. I keep some white wheat malt and Munich on hand too.

    NEIPA Yeast Recommendations

    If you want something truly different and tasty you might try Belle Saison. The extra fruitiness would be fitting. It will go pretty dry though. Through poor planning I made a stout a couple years ago and used WB-06 wheat beer yeast. Different but got some good feedback on it.

    Guns

    Like someone else posted, I have a number off firearms and greatly enjoy working on them. I used to shoot a couple times a month until COVID ruined everything. I reload my own ammunition too as a hobby. I had to explain to my wife once that it would be extremely costly to give up my guns. Told...

    Coopers Australian Pale Ale

    According to people on the Coopers forum they use an ale / lager blend of yeast for this kit. Apparently it's to assure success with whatever temperature control noobies may or may not, have.

    Coopers Australian Pale Ale

    I made their Real Ale couple years ago just because you shouldn't look down on canned kits unless you've made one. I was pretty happy with the flavor overall. It was a bit too bitter for me but was overall a nice beer. I've read that the APA makes a better beer if you only make it to fifteen...
