I am drinking tonight 3 single hopped IPA's Simco Citra Pacigic Gem The base malts are Pilsner with 10 percent Caramel/Crystal Malt @ around 6 percent ABV They are all nice. The pacific Gem is a delight. Seems different with every mouthful. I am also mixing and matching them to find a...

Its been a while so I though it time for an update. I have 4 brews in front of me. 3 Single hoped Pilsner Caramalt. One Simco/Citra mix. Pacific Gem > Light subtle and very moreish Cita > Has the taste of a brew dog style ale. Very nice if a little unrefined. Simco > Not as sharp as the...

While my IPA is fermenting I started a new brew with my left over ingredients. Grain Bill for 9 Liter Around 7 ABV 1409.92 g Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) 592.10 g Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) 592.10 g Smoked Malt (9.0 SRM) 296.05 g Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM)...

For dry goods a bin liner and a bit of cardboard would be fine.

I got mine from amazon. It was 28 quid inc delivery from Germany and its great :-) http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BIYHI1G/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It is listed as a 20 Liter port but is rally just over 19 Liter pot.

I picked up a Richies Mashing & Sparging Bag for my 19 Liter stock pot from my local homebrew shop. It would work well in a 15 liter pot as well and only costs about 8 pounds. I would think most places sell it. I have used it 8 times now and still working well, in fact its drying on my...

I brewed 9 liters of IPA today using this as my guide. Thanks Cheshirehomebrew :p The OG was out a bit. I got 1.057 instead of 1.060. It was perfect pre-boil so I should have boiled it a bit more to reach the 1.060 I split the brew into 2 1 gallon demijohn and will Dry hop...

I like the sounds of Hull melon. Never heard of it before but the description sounds great. Aroma Distinct fruit characteristics including honeydew melon and strawberry flavors Sounds perfect thanks for the tip.

Beer smith reckons this will only be a 5.8 SRM color. About the same color as the other IPA I have made. so very light color.

Sounds great thanks for the advice. I will be trying this 9 liter brew tomorrow 1692.22g Pale Malt, Maris Otter 423.06g Pilsner 211.53g Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L 105.76g Munich Malt 11.66g Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 60.0 min 11.66g Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 30.0 min 11.66g Fuggle [4.50 %] -...

I like IPA's and strong ales. I have been playing with making some IPAs and have a few fermenting. I am happy to try any thing though.

3 IPA's brewed today. I used the same wort to make 3 different IPAs. All single hopped. 60 mins 10 mins and dry. Grain Bill for wort: Pilsner 2330G Caramalt 175g This makes 9 Liters or beer. 3 Boils with 3 hops. 55 IBU was the aim so I can then mix and match the brews to find the...

Good news bad news today. Good news the IPA is has nearly finished fermenting and tastes great. Should be a ABV of 6.2 percent. IPA Stated 26/1 OG 1.059 Secondary ferment 2/2 G 1.012 Will leave it in the secondary for anther 2 weeks and then bottle. Taste great so far. OP's Both of these...

Hi Steve, I have just started a few 6 Liter brews. I put the recipes here I have made so far: http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=51436 Not got a chance to drink them yet so can not say how they will turn out :-). Anther 2 weeks and i will give them a taste.

Thanks all I will try them all next week and let you know the results :-)

Hi all, I am looking for suggestions based off what ingredients I have in stock. I only make small 5 liter BIABS now so am happy to try anything and let you know how I get on. I wonder if there is an app for this or an extension to beersmith. Put in what you have and recipe options come up...

That sounds nice. If that turns out well let me know and I will give it a go. 1 C loss is great I may have to try that. I am now just using a small amount of heat but if I don't stir it enough in the mash then the grain acts like a heat insulator on the bottom so the tempts down there may be...

3rd brew today. A basic IPA. I will be playing this week with using the same hops but different malt combinations. Here is the base so I can compare using only Maris Otter: 1591.53 g Pale Malt, Maris Otter 7.78 g Citra [13.80 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 4.02 g Citra [13.80 %] - Boil 10.0 min Hop...

Thinking about it more I would insulate with expending foam used in building. You can get a can for about 3-4 Pounds and would insulate a pot really well.

The stock pot only costs 28 Pounds inc deliver and it came from Germany in 3 days. I thought it was a great deal. I built my mash tun for my large system from 2 30 liter fermentor buckets. To keep the temp I used a pump and recirculated the water through the HTL. Its a huge pain though so I...
