Here's my version of the recipe, which is based on existing clones and information gleaned from various sources: Brew Method: BIAB Style Name: Robust Porter Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 23 liters (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 27 liters Boil Gravity: 1.050 Efficiency: 70% (brew house)...

Here's my attempt at brewing something similar to the excellent Traquair House Ale. It's a very highly regarded Scottish Ale. Modern versions of the style are things like Brewdog's Dogma and Founders Dirty *******. One of the tricks of this recipe is to take 5L of the first runnings and...

I thought people might like to read this, if you haven't before: The Processes The Hall Brewery This 10 bbl (bbl stands for barrel which is equivalent of 36 UK gallons or 163.66 litres) brewery, situated in a converted stonemasonry/joinery shed at Thornbridge Hall was originally used by...

Brewing this for a home brew group (we are following the same recipe and comparing results). So, here it is: HOME BREW RECIPE: Title: Leytonstone Pale Ale Brew Method: BIAB Style Name: American Pale Ale Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 20 liters (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 25 liters Boil...

Ok, another Black IPA, after the success of my fully-leaded version recently. This one has overtaken my Stone clone brewday, as I need this ready for a wedding in six weeks' time. So, this time around, shooting for 4% ABV after bottle conditioning (which itself adds around 0.2%). Reduced...

Just got my copy, and I have to say, it's really great. Works from the history of IPA and debunks some myths. Mitch spent time in Burton on Trent and London as part of his research and seems to have provided a really comprehensive guide to beer. The term "IPA" is a bit loose these days, but...

So, I need some more black IPA, and Stone released a vague recipe description for this popular brew: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/stone-sublimely-self-righteous-black-ipa/96858/ So, here's mine, scaled for my 22L mash tun: Brew Method: BIAB Style Name: American IPA Boil Time: 60 min Batch...

Mash started this morning. This recipe is from the Mikkeller book as it's my first barley wine, so I'm afraid I won't be posting the exact ingredients here. 7.4Kg grain bill 16L strike water at 79.5c Pre-boil volume: 14L Post-boil volume: 12L Target OG: 1104 Target FG: 1028 or...

I'm possibly going to have another brew day tomorrow, and this time it's going to be a barley wine. Shooting for 1105 OG, only from grain.... It's going to be tricky. Main constraint seems to be mash tun volume. I have a 24L mash tun, and I believe the limit of strike-water/grist ratio is...

Ok, so here's the recipe which was actually brewed: Boil Time: 60 min Batch Size: 20 liters (fermentor volume) Boil Size: 25 liters Boil Gravity: 1.031 Efficiency: 69% (brew house) STATS: Original Gravity: 1.039 Final Gravity: 1.008 ABV (standard): 4.1% IBU (tinseth): 31.02 SRM...

Hi, I'm just cobbling a recipe together for what I guess might be called an extra pale ale. Or maybe a summer ale. Anyway, the aim is to be light in colour, have a soft (slightly viscous) mouthfeel with a little froth, and for the focus mainly to be on hop flavour without much yeast flavour...

Hi, this was my first BIAB brew. The recipe was discussed in the recipes discussion section, and I posted it originally to be brewed to 5% or thereabouts. The beer recipe which I had actually copied was for a session version with a lower grain bill which gave circa 4% for the original...

Hi, Not sure if anyone can help at all, but today I had real issues siphoning my boiling wort through my new plate chiller (with a hop bag on the end to stop **** getting into the chiller). I tested the chiller with boiling water, and it was fine: easily siphons through at a good rate...

Hi, I was planning on brewing the following, and would appreciate it if anyone could offer any comments or criticisms. The recipe is copied directly from a commercial brewer (I'd rather not say who), and has been scaled down for roughly a 10L batch. The only thing which the recipe...
