Many thanks! Yes, it's the stout I'm after. (Although the red ale might be worth a look!). I was actually worried that this was a bit too much roast barley. But I see you're going for 400g, YF. Looking forward to brewing this soon. Cheers

What do people think of this stout recipe? 23 L Pale 3300g Wheat 700g Roast Barley 230g Chocolate malt 450g Northdown, Hallertau, Styrian Goldings Isn't that a lot of roast barley? Thanks in advance, one and all!

Bump. Was this good?!

I'm counting on the 5g chip...

12L dark mild with special B. Because.

Yes please

Well, this brew is the foulest I have ever made. Overripe fruit aroma, putrescent. Effortlessly horrible. Hey no.

I was baffled by this too. How can you show evidence of a violent event without showing violence? I thought it was an utterly bizarre editorial decision. After 9pm, as you say. Trying not to become 'Disgruntled, Milton Keynes', but I did write to the BBC about this.

Thanks. All good stuff.

That's really helpful - thanks @chthon @peebee And here's the recipe @steve123 . This was to use some NZ hops I was given a while back - an attempt to make a low-alcohol NZ bitter. 10L 1.7kg lager malt (including a bit of mild ale malt) 200g pale wheat malt 40g chocolate malt 6g Challenger 60...

Thanks! Reassuring. I had an extra swing round the cage to celebrate. Now to see if it's drinkable!

Recently started attempting to make low-alcohol beer, inspired by @peebee accounts of 'brewed' low alcohol brews, rather than boil-off. I've done a cold mash and got down to a thrillingly weak OG1018! Way-hey. Having left the thing to ferment, I of course started reading loads of forum posts...

Thanks everyone. Food for thought. So Apollo is a big balls IPA aroma thing too? All sounds promising

Evening all. What would you do with this lot?! I mean, not all at the same time probably, but what are they good for? I was given some of these so a bit unclear on their uses. My best guesses so far: Apollo: big bittering Wakatu: Hallertau-style aroma Wai-ti: aroma Motueka: aroma So probably...

explains the taste of Jail Ale. (Not really, but couldn't resist)...
