Help Required!!

I'm going to start brewing Fireside Stout in the next hour, just realised I haven't any carafoam, should I substitute the weight of the missing ingredients with maris otter malt?

I would miss it out and replace with Maris Otter. You could maybe use torrified wheat instead. I put it in for head retention but to be honest there was enough in it already. When it was poured at Derby it had a tad too much. Good luck with the brew and let me know how you get on.

Hope it's going OK, BB.

Hi All,
Got brew underway at 11.00am, I substituted the carafoam for torrified wheat as recommended by earlier post, thx!
I should have been better prepared for this brew, I forgot the choc and black malt needed crushing and I ain't got a machine to do it..."ROLLING PIN" req.
Anyway, all seems to be going well, smells nice, although the wife doesn't agree with my sense of smell.
After an hour mash temp is 63c, only lost 3c, ready now to heat sparge water!
Is it O.K to substitute 30g Cascade for 40g of Fuggles, if no, any recommendations?

Brewing gone great, O.G of 1062, should be a good brew this if it ferments down O.K.

... not a lot of feedback on this one John; sounds like it was a great success

although the berserk fermentation and swmbo must have been stressful

If you can manage to leave some for about 4 weeks it grows in depth of flavour and wows the taste buds even more. 56/60 at Derby

Infact I travel past Barnsly quite a lot. Can I call in for a pint on my way home sometime when its ready?

Hello Bandit I am going to try brewing your excellent Fireside stout which i tried at the festival last month but don't seem able to get cascade hops. any ideas what i could use instead?

What about Amarillo Hops. Same AA range.
Copied from a web site :-
AMARILLO 3 - 7% Unique very floral/spicy. Powerful aroma with good bittering quality.
CASCADE 3 â€“ 6% Unique very floral/spicy aroma with good bittering quality
