Jim's Beer Kit

Will do.

I brewed this for last xmas, was a porter/stout style, can never remember which has more roast malts!

It came out well but i under primed so was a little flat.

Thanks for the links on balance.

As for the recipe, i dropped the chocolate but kept the rest. Came out very dark and 'roasty', got 500g of coffee beans for secondary.

Took some inspiration from brewdog king imp.

Put this together for a 60th birthday beer.
Aim was for 6% and 60ibu

Any comments are as always appreciated but one question i have is, what does balance value mean?

Will run with this, see how it goes

this is the plan

the oats seem to add some nice mouth feel to my beers, or just my taste buds are shot

so guess not really a SMaSH!

I've got 200g of cascade and 500g of summet,

Used Cascade loads lately and a little bored of it!

Never used summet,this works out about 68IBU, might drop the summet to 15g

thanks Clibit

I'm thinking of this hop shedule

30g@60
20g@10
20g@dry hop

comes in at 42 IBU.

Panning a SMaSH brew this weekend, any one used either Topaz or Motueka
hops?

Topaz is 15% AA
Motueka is 8% AA

Went with this

Brewing a pale ale ish beer today.

The mash is on but not decided on the hops yet, got these to chose from.

Think i'll put the chinook in at 60min given i've only got 8g if them. Anyone used the Motueka or Topaz?

thanks, will check them out

Hi,

Do any of you use portable style electric cooker/hobs to heat your hlt/boiler? If so any recommendations?

Thanks,
Mark

I'd be in for 500g of Summit
