    Biscuit Brown

    That amount of Target would give an IBU of around 56.... way too bitter.

    Grain prices creeping up.

    Russia had the most to lose from it, the USA the most to gain from it, and no Hersch's findings have not 'been debunked'. You are listening to the spin, not the facts. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2023/02/sy-hersh-and-the-way-we-live-now/

    General election

    Labour nowadays are even to the right of Blair. I'm a socialist. Labour are the enemies of socialism. They're doing everything they can to expel socialists. They offer a hobson's choice between blue Tories and red Tories - and they want you to vote for them simply because they pose as the...

    General election

    Indeed, you can't slide a cigarette paper between Labour and the Tories nowadays. I won't be voting Labour. I'll more than likely vote Green.

    Using Salt Sodium Chloride in beer for bitterness

    At the levels you're talking about the effect on osmotic pressure would be completely negligible.

    General election

    Yes, I'd like to see an independent Wales and an independent Scotland. Both countries suffer from being controlled from Westminster.

    General election

    Yn wir. Dwi’n ddigon ffodus i gael dewis etholaeth i bleidleisio ynddi (dim ond mewn un alla i bleidleisio). Os byddaf yn pleidleisio yng Cymru, byddaf yn pleidleisio i'r Plaid Cymru er iddynt gostio braich a choes i mi yn y dreth gyngor! Translated - Truly. I'm lucky enough to have a choice of...

    Using Salt Sodium Chloride in beer for bitterness

    Oh well then that's in the same order of magnitude that you might want for water correction. If I'm understanding it right, Brewfather seems to indicate, say, for an American IPA, that Na+ should be in the range 0-100 ppm (mg/L). My tap water is about 8mg/l so I add no NaCl. If you're adding...

    Using Salt Sodium Chloride in beer for bitterness

    The sort of levels of NaCl you'ds add for the 'perfect' water for any beer style are really low though. Im under the impression that the OP is talking about significantly more than this.

    Biscuit Brown

    Excellent work. I will use WLP001. I'm inclined to agree that they would say if they were using crystal. The thing is that this beer caught my attention because it tasted a little bit out of the ordinary and that would fit with the ingredients we know they used. If they'd used much crystal...

    Biscuit Brown

    Yes, I was going to use Nottingham or Lallemand's London yeast for a little more sweetness.

    Biscuit Brown

    I don't remember fruitiness much. Predominantly you could taste the lightly roasted/toasted grains which is where the biscuityness comes from, a little sweetness in there, but also more bitter than your average northern brown ale.

    Biscuit Brown

    To be clear, Kirkstall seem to brew two beers. Biscuit Brown (4.5%) and Extra Biscuit Brown (5.5%). The one I had was the 4.5% version.

    Biscuit Brown

    Worth a try I guess. . . Done! There's a first time for everything. I'll let you know what answer I get.

    Biscuit Brown

    I recently had the good fortune to drink in The Bridge, a Kirkstall Brewery pub in Kirkstall, Leeds, and was lucky enough to try their brown ale 'Biscuit Brown'. Very nice. I wanted to try to emulate it, or at least give a nod to it by brewing a brown ale of my own with that biscuity flavour...

    So who's growing chillies 2023?

    This year I've overwintered a super chilli - great variety, very prolific. I also have a single Carolina Reaper plant, very small at the moment, that's germinated from seeds bought last year and a number of plants grown using the seeds from ripened finger chillis bought in Sainsbury's. I'm...
