Will amend that

I'd reduce or drop the roast barley

German hefe? American hefe? Belgian wit?

Hi all I have messed around with my brew fridges etc, and now want to extend the probe on a stc 1000, so that it doesn't trail across the floor. is it ok to do this, will it make a difference to temp readings ? :) I have a 3m one somewhere that I don't use, if you're interested. sounds good, how mu...

Ok guys thanks

this is what i ended up doing, using up some left over grains 4.5kg pilsner 1.0 MO 300g crystal 300g wheat 300g cara 100g black 30g challenger 60 mins 20g " 15 " 30g " 5 " 20 " FO pitched onto notts yeast cake og1058 fg 1011 first taste from fv is pretty good, not a ruby mild, more a heavy bitter

Ok, I have about 30g of simcoe and chinook, also got some cascade, whats a great recipe using these 3? I love chinook in late!

Best year for a hefeweizen, dry or wet?

Yeah I tend to agree, not gonna buy mild malt at the mo, so what would you suggest with maris?

yeah I'm just thinking that as summer approaches Ill be mostly brewing pale ales, just wanted something a bit darker to keep for later, prob about 5.5 to 6.0 abv

looking for a recipe along the lines of sarah hughes mild, something strong to keep in bottles, wondered would challenger hops be ok in this? are they good late in boil?
