Re: Fullers ESB 'Can you brew it'

Example: In the past Briess told us it's 'Midnight Wheat' malt was 550 Lovibond, but now they say it is 550 SRM, when in fact it is 744 SRM.

Re: Fullers ESB 'Can you brew it'

Interestingly enough, Briess relatively recently took all of its formerly Lovibond scaled malt colors and arbitrarily declared them to be SRM scaled instead. But significantly, they retained the Lovibond valuations while merely (and rather arbitrarily) beginning to refer to them as SRM valuations, w...

I'm pretty sure in the interview John Keeling says they use 150 EBC crystal...not Lovibond.
That would equate to ~56 Lovibond.

Or to about ~76 SRM. (but malts are rarely color scaled in terms of SRM units)

Let's be fair. There is lots more at play in brewing than any of us know.

Re: Effect of mashing with too much water

I used to sparge, but I switched to no-sparge, and other than a yield hit to OG (requiring a bit more base malt whereby to compensate) I don't really notice a difference in the finished beers. But then I've heard it said that the least likely comment you will ever get from friends in regard to the q...

Re: PH questions

I can't fathom the mechanism that would cause pH to rise across the boil. As Eric said, calcium should promote a drop.

Re: PH questions

I agree with Eric. Most data indicates that pH falls across the boil. And some data indicates that the higher the pH is leading into the boil, the greater the measure of the drop will be. This data also shows that if the Wort is acidified to 5.1-5.2 pH just prior to the boil step there will be littl...

Re: Saflager W-34/70

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher Many are now finding (in the USA and Canada at least) that they can make great "lager" beers by fermenting (so-called) lage...

Re: Saflager W-34/70

So you don’t appreciate how science actually works then? Even the most credible scientists in the world need to get their experimental designs replicated independently and their results confirmed. Until then, until a scientific community of relative experts accepts what’s being presented, i.e., for...

Re: Saflager W-34/70

More likely a fallacy of incomplete evidence. A very limited study by itself. All they're saying really is it's possible lagering on yeast, for the recipe used, in terms of the non-volatile compounds measured, isn't significantly different, based on their analysis, from lagering without yeast, for ...

Re: Just what is "light Crystal" 25SRM/50EBC?

As to the light, medium, and dark colour ranges for Crystal Malts, this is purely my guess:

5-44 Lovibond = Light
45-94 Lovibond = Medium
95-150 Lovibond = Dark

SRM = Lovibond * 1.3546 - 0.76
EBC = SRM * 1.97
