Re: Oops black malt?
It'll be darker. Slightly more bitter/acrid.
The missing sugar will keep the abv down. The sugar amounts are generally low and tend to not greatly effect mouth feel.
It'll still be beer.

Windsor Yeast.... Brilliant
This seems to be a marmite yeast.... mostly hate! I bravely thought I would give it a go. I thought I would add my voice to the few that sing this yeasts praises. From reading feedback from across the net I decided to create a wort suited to this yeast. Mashed at 65 with a loose mash. I brewed a 103...

Re: Has Anyone grown Centennial in the UK?
Yes I grow them.
Weedy first year. Hand full of cones the second. Next season third year.
It isn't as hardy as the british varieties. Needs a lot of attention. Hoping know the rhizome is more hardy it can take the odd failure to water, or a missed feed.

Re: BREXIT and HOP PRICES
Us home growers could start doing some illicit trade. I have crossed a Saaz with a Goldings, thinking of calling it a Farage! But seriously, US, NZ, AUS aren't in the EU. On a homebrew level the difference in price between UK vs EU vs rest of the world is pence (if anything at all). I wouldn't worry...

Re: Mosaic/Amarillo/Citra APA
Thats what I was thinking too. Sometimes it seems hop haze creeps up on a beer.killer wrote:That's look excellent. Remarkably clear too for a pale with with 300 odd grams of hops.

Re: secondary fermentation/conditioning
2 weeks to a month.
As you say, there needs to be that warm conditioning prior to cooling down to cellar, or worse, shed temperatures!

Extract versus Fementability
As I am currently piddling about making a brewing spreadsheet (more for my own understanding, rather than replacing one I currently use), I have come across a bit of a quandary. All grains state extract, and that makes my life pretty easy. However where can I find how fermentable this extract will b...

Re: Air lock bubbling
It could be still fermenting slowly.
Or it could be still just venting off CO2 in solution. This happens more with temperature changes.
Leave it a couple more days, and measure. If it's still at 1.011 then bottle/cask/keg.

Re: Munich Smash
Sounds good. Moderately hopped with something American? Cascade?
Nice American amber ale.
What ebc is this going to come out at?

Re: USA brewer looking for that "best" english bitter
I would say if you haven't given the Big Kenny recipe a go, then that's definitely worth a try.
I believe it was big in the other forum before it changed hands.

Re: Mash lengths
Overnight or 90 minutes.
I prefer overnight for perceived wort quality and time saved.

Re: Overnight Mashing
That's an interesting way of doing it. Never crossed my mind to do it like that.Gastronaut wrote:I tend to mash in the evening (standard length mash), then leave the wort in the kettle overnight on a timer switch set to start about 20 minutes before I get up the next morning. No problems with this so far.
