Ohh wait. I thought you ment yeast..... And its opened you say. Don't know..... I wouldnt use it myself.

Don't know if you can see the date on the yeast I been using but that went out of date in the beginning of 2020. It really just depends. If your lucky some are OK and will use the dead yeast as nutrients. If not.... Then it won't do anything, and you can just add new yeast. It will use the whole...

OK. Just ordered a little more base malt

I will 👍. I'm definitely doing the American IPA on here too. After a little research I think I need a few more hops and grains to have a real play around.

OK then. Thanks guys. I'm going to go have a research 😁👌

So IPA's are a safe bet and maybe Ales and bitters are what I'm aiming for?

Ahhh so no I can't. I could sub some of that I guess but I don't have barley. I'm assuming that's a dark roasted to give it the colour.

That was the description when I got the Caramalt. That's going to be a shame if I can't use much of it. Also. Not so great if the description isn't true

Ohh just saw that

Correct me if this is wrong because I don't really know... I'm going on instinct and the little I do know. But would a 75% Cara 22% otter and 3% dark not give me the base of a Irish red ale? Then I could go with Fuggles and challenger for the hops. Or am I way off?

Any suggestions for a more Cara heavy beer? I get the feeling I'm going to be out of Otter and Citra pretty fast

Well the plan is to do 5 or 6 small boil in the bag and ferment in Demijohns. So really small batches so I will probably do all that's suggested so far. I do like the sound of that American IPA... Citra heavy but I will definitely go with something like that.

Decided to get a small number of Hops and malts to have a play around with all grain brewing. I got the following : Black malt. Cara malt. Maris otter pale malt. Citra hops. Challenger hops. Fuggles hops. Irish moss. Gypsum. I wanted to be able to have a play around and make some...

Yeah I'm looking at two 10L stainless steel ones. Then I will get the rest of the parts as I go... Probably from China as there a bit cheaper. Except for the keg. The postage makes it far cheaper to buy here. But the 19L kit from BKT dose look well priced. I just prefer the stainless steel ones.

Nice. This will be an interesting thread. Been looking into this myself.

Also since we are on the subject... Yeast nutrient is a waist of money anyway. If you do find yourself in a pickle and your yeast needs some help. Half teaspoon of marmite will do the same thing. But do dissolve it in hot water and a little honey or suger. Then throw it in. It won't effect the...

It really is worth a go. Give your self 20 or 30 words and just make a name using what it gives you. Although I do find this far more entertaining than any man should 🤪

You really don't need yeast nutrient. There are examples where you might want to use it. If you know the environment is less the ideal for the yeast for one reason or another. During a fermentation you are getting a sulphur smell from stressed yeast. But I only really use it if I'm being...
