Blimey,

Gentle warm up and see how it goes I guess.

I could do with your fridge.

Yeah, that's the one I have. Just awaiting some melanoidin malt and a non-raining day and we're off.

My grain doesn't specify it's floor malted (the Malt Miller has both). No idea if it's fully modified. Perhaps I'll do a step mash anyway.

Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to this (much shortened) brew.

Thanks for that. The brulosophy link was very interesting.

I don't think I'll bother step mashing. How much Melanoidin malt do you add? My grain bill is solely 5000g of Bohemian Pilsner Malt.

I am planning on making a pilsner for the first time. My recipe suggests mashing as follows: Mash at: 50c for 20 mins 65c for 30 mins 70c for 30 mins Mashout at 76c for 10 mins I can do this OK using the Grainfather but is there any real point? Also, I'm planning on fermenting at 12 deg C. I underst...

Thanks,

When my can eventually arrives it's going to be tested on a 100+ IBU Brewdog recipe of "Restorative Beverage for Invalids and Convalescents". Presumably there's no faff about it - just add to boiling wort and give things a stir.

Sleeperservice,

Wish I had read that a week ago. I've just ordered a can from Yakima Valley Hops too.

How did you find it?

Is anyone buying extract? If so, I would like to contribute for 100g or so.

Thanks. Spotted it after I had posted. Just PM'd Mr Dripping. I would still like an answer to No 3 though.

Hi, I'm interested in brewing Brewdog's "Restorative Beverage for Invalids and Convalescents" as I recall enjoying it a while ago. Brewdog used 10g of CO2 Hop Extract in 20 litres to provide bitterness (beer IBU is given as 100+). I am quite interested in trying CO2 extract if I can get it (note: th...

micmacmoc,
But did it strip your enamel?
Sod it, I'm just going to try it. If it's uncontrollably bitter, I've lost a few quid and a bit of brewing time.
About a week to brewday. I'll report back.

The Malt Miller does a hop aroma extract

I don't know if that's what you mean?

I'm slightly tempted to brew "Pliney The Elder's Daughter" and half the boiling hops!
I'm going to go out and watch clouds now.

tenemus,
With about 200g of boiling hops this was my worry. Has anyone else made this. I've got the ingredients but not due to brew for a couple of weeks yet.
