Hi guys! We brewed this last Sunday, following this recipe for a 10L batch: - 1.7 kg Maris Otter (68%) - 400 g Abbey Malt (16%) - 400 g CaraMunich II (16%) - 14g East Kent Goldings (5.5%AA) 60m - 5g East Kent Goldings (5.5%AA) 20m - 21g Saaz (2.6%AA) 0m - 1/4 Protafloc 10m - Half package...

We brewed this last Sunday, following the recipe I posted above. After a lot of activity in the first three days, where the room temperature was around 21°C, yesterday it almost stopped. The room temp also dropped to 19 ish. OG was 13.6%brix at 20°C (1.052, corrected (1.04)) and since...

Awesome! Thank you, guys!

I really like this approach. But all of them have to be removed when transferring the wort to the fermenter, after cooling, right? I don't remember seeing any mention to it in the books I have read, and I had my doubts during our first brew. It just didn't make sense to me that all the hops...

Thank you for your comments, guys. Really appreciate it. We only have 1.7kg of MO, so I have adjusted the recipe like this (for a 10L batch): - 1.7 kg Maris Otter (68%) - 400 g Abbey Malt (16%) - 400 g CaraMunich II (16%) - 14g East Kent Goldings (5.5%AA) 60m - 5g East Kent Goldings (5.5%AA)...

Hey guys! We're planning to brew the 'Very Good Abbey Ale' from Brew Better Beer this weekend, but we have some doubts with the grains we bought for this recipe. Firstly, we have the Weyermann Abbey Malt (EBC 50) from TMM which we are not sure if is the Pilsner malt required by the recipe. The...

I was referring to 1.8 volumes of CO2. I boil the sugar in about 250ml of water and mix it with the beer before bottling.

Thank you! Got the feeling that it was too much. We'll go for 1.8 (29.6g) as it'll be bottled.

Regarding carbonation, the app suggest to use 48.4g of sugar (regular table sugar) in 8 litres to reach 2.4 vol of CO2. Would that be ok to get the carbonation level we usually have here in tap ales?

Thank you, guys!

Hi guys! Three weeks ago, we brewed our second batch, following this recipe: BIAB Full Volume (No Sparge) 10 L batch (fermenter) Grains Maris Otter 6 EBC 2.000 g Crystal Extra Dark 240 EBC 200 g Hops East Kent Goldings 6% 15 g - 60 min (boil) Fuggle 4.2%...

Awesome! Thank you!

The problem was an incorrect equipment profile in the app I did use to get the water and grains quantities, which ended with only 1.5kg of grains in almost 14l of water for the mash. It's drinkable, but without much body, as expected. We will let it age for a some weeks anyway.

Thank you guys for this really nice welcome! Cheers everyone! acheers.

Hey @Obadiah Boondoggle! Lol! Probably both will be true at some point 😅 We left it 2 weeks in the fermenter (after just 5 days the SG reached and remained at ~1.008, but read that wouldn't cause any harm leaving it until the end of the second week), then conditioned and bottled for, now, 3...
