Hi guys,
Has anyone tried using Abbey malt as the base malt? If so, could you give some idea of the outcome? Successful or not?
Any info would be great, especially attached to a recipe!
Have a good one!

Oh dear! Please excuse the spelling! REQUIRED!!! lol

Once again - thanks for all the advice! Sooo - what I am doing is putting 200ml of water in a pot, boiling it, dropping it down to simmer and then adding my hops ( same amount as was requierd and trying to maintain my 200ml of water for 30 minutes. Hopefully it will work out! Ill let you guys know i...

If you still have wort, boil a small ammount of it (stovetop) with the hops and add back. Thinking out loud, you could also do it with the fermenting beer. Remove a saucepan full. Boil, actually SIMMER. Then strain & add back once temps are the same. Don't be too concerned about infection etc, as y...

Thank you! That would be great but not available here! Darkest Africa y'know!

Good morning. My brew yesterday was a disaster! Mad rush,plenty of distractions and the end result my bittering hops (Cryo Simcoe 26% AA) were left out of the boil and only found when tidying up! :oops: I have found mention on the web of boiling the hops in a pot or kettle to make a 'tea'. Does anyo...

Hi guys, Has anybody used these hops and, if so, as bittering or flavour and what are your thoughts on it?
Have a good one!.

Always wondered what temp does it go down to there. Always thought it was warm all year like Australia Not where I am unfortunately! It has snowed in the town on occasion! I don't do cold too well - born in Swaziland & grew up in Durban. Both places are on the warmish side year round (actually to b...

Hi Dave, yes I have seen that with multi-step mash. I agree with what you say & the only reason I did it was that my previous brew (Red Ale) I did with a multi-step & it came out awesome! So, I thought, what the hell lets do it again - I had time on my hands! :wink: Anyway, the brew is still there, ...

Really? It would work I guess but the PT.....

Thanks for the info anyway but I think I'm going to bin it! Enough fannying about I'll just start a new brew!

Thanks for the comments all! I never thought of the mash temp but I did do a two phase - 1 at 45'C for 30 minutes & then the other (supposedly) at 65-68 for 60 Minutes. Oi Vey - I just checked my brewery & found my fuggles still where I left them! :oops: Mebbe that never helped either..... So a few ...

Hi,
Here it is in text format - not very pretty but there you go! Any reason you know of why PDF format is not allowed?

Damn! So TXT format is also not allowed? What is?

Sorry - just seen that the PDF extension is not allowed! I'll look for something else.....

Hi guys, Attached is the sheet from Brewsmith (PDF format). As I said I got a bit big-headed & tried out a "no sparge" method & I think my problem is around the amount of grain to liquor - too little grain for this method! I think I should have hit a grain bill of around 9Kg. The mash was split into...

Hi Tony,
Thanks. I'm not too fussed about the alcohol - as I said it tastes as if it is zero anyway. I was wondering if, by boiling it off a tad that some of the original grain flavours would still be noticeable. But, yeah, you right, I guess it's heading for the bin.
