Jim's Beer Kit

I reckon you are right, thanks.

In the book CloneBrews by Ted Szamatuls, he always says, use 25% less hops when brewing all grain, than when using extracts. Anyone know why?

Ron Pattinson, has a couple of Youngers recipes that use nearly as much maize as pale malt, has anyone made a brew of this , and is it good ale. They kept making this ratio of grains until 1930 as Ron says, I* like a bit of corn, but 45+ per cent is unusual?

I got mine on amazon 3 years ago and it wasn't very dear.Its full of 1960,s beers,

Lots of calulators there but I didnt see alist of all the grains and sugars and their ogs per lb per gallon, they use US I would think.good recipes though.

Page 125,Brewing Beers Like YouBuy,by Dave Line.25litres 2800gms of pale malt500gms barley syrup,200 gms brown sugar 60 gms fuggl;es,dry hop with 60gms hop extract 90 minute boil 60gms brewers yeast.Ileft out the five sacharin tablets he used.

I made DEave Lines 1038 og version, in January 16, and it is very like it tasted in the 1960s.

There used to be a good list of grains and sugars, using u.k gallons, and lbs, and what you could expect in og,. I*t was better than Beersmiths grain list, as it didnt use US gallons. Is there such a table or list around some where?

I have just brewed Double Diamond from DLs book, and wondered if anyone knows how to replace the hop extract that he often uses for dry hopping. None of the suppliers keep it nowadays , and DL never stated the IBU of any recipe Perhaps Brambling cross EKG or fuggles, his usual varieties?Any ideas.

I was surprised that you find corn suger hard to find. I buy it in any local super mart, it is maize syrup according to GW,s bok Brew Brityish Ale 1998, pge 16.Iget the local stuff "Queen Corn sYRUP.aLSO TWO US brands, avoiding the one containing vanilla.Or, I would use maize flakes.

Thanks Seymore, I wil make some next week,as soon as I can get the ingredients.

Has anyone got a recipe for this great Belgian beer, Icant buy any in Australia,but found some in a bar on New Caledonia it was expensive there though. I got agood recipe from someone on Jims, two years ago for Pelforths Brun,,has anyone brewed any?

Very good,I did not know about BCJB styles,but they sound about right,I was apprehensive about making a brew of Shepard Became bitter as theIBU was 41 in G W,s book

In most brew recipes, I notice that some milds have a higher I(BU than some of the3 bitters mentioned, is there any reason why, for instance, whould a strong mild need a higher IOBU count than a weaker one.Also what *IBU is the border between the two styles.

Have you ever cereal mashed raw barley, or rice,I had some good results with rice,but the barley gave onlyabout1020 in onelitre, using one kg. of raw with 100gms of ground maris ottis.Iused it in a Yorkshire bitter clone, and it gave anice creamy taste to the beer, so it did some good, if not adding...
