Bottled this at 1.008. Been fermenting for around 2 weeks at about 12 degrees. Tastes good! ;)

I completely agree with you. I'm gonna be doing my 10th AG next weekend and I dont see the need to adjust my Ph. The beers I make are good enough for me so why get even more technical? Seems like too much work and expense if you ask me. I dont even treat my water. May be I'm just hitting all...

Be interesting to see how this turns out. I know you can use Marris Otter for lagers but need to adjust the Ph but I dont even know how to do that yet. Just got some Lager grains for mine. So far so good. Good luck!

Update: After 12 days its down to 1.018 I think its going a bit slow as the temprature dropped to around 8 degrees or less, slowing the fermentation.

Hi everyone, Since the Oatmeal Stout was such a success, I wanted to get another batch going as I have since run out. Bought a few bits and pieces for my Birthday to up the amount I can brew. Not a big jump but will give me a bit more to work with. So what I was thinking......bought some...

Seems to be doing something anyway.

Well id didnt overflow but was close. Hahaha quite a good trick to get rid of the crud on the top of the wort.....let it stick to the underside of the lid.

If you store it at that temp it will probably over carbonate, so I believe. Under Stair cupboard?

Unfortunatly no....I'll just let it overflow, like the Oatmeal Stout. Gotta get another Oatmeal Stout made, it was excellent!

Since my Oatmeal stout is finished I made an amber ale. Starting gravity of 1.040 Changed the recipe a bit and used 15g each of Goldings and Fuggles hops for aroma. Also added a small bit of sugar to bring the gravity up. 4.70 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (3.0 SRM) Grain...

Thought I would try and brew a basic lager for a change. 3.00 kg Lager Malt (2.0 SRM) Grain 71.4 % 0.50 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 11.9 % 0.40 kg Corn, Flaked (1.3 SRM) Grain...

I think I may have found the answer. Storing at room temps give the beer carbonation, yup I know this already, so I would leave the Lager at room temps for two weeks then Lager them in the bottles at low temps. Just wonder if since I'm using S23 yeast the temperature would only need to be...

Gonna be getting a lager started tonight and I'm a bit unsure about bottling. I have made lots of Ale and bottled this with great success, but do I store them differently? Usually I would store the Ale in the warmth after bottling to start secondary fermentation, then move them to the garage...

A pale ale this time. First hops Last 10min and aroma hops The syphon effect worked very well. Drained the full boiler. Collected around 25L @ 1042 Another fun night, finished at 12:30 ;)

Yeah I heard about that, sorry about your dog. :|

Had my first two pints of this last night and its really excellent! Dont think its gonna last long. ;)

Made this on Friday night after finishing my last pint of Summer Lightning clone from the barrel. So based on Vossy's recipe I added some Black Malt. Mashed at 66c for 2 hours. First runnings Sparging Hops in at boil....decided to only boil for 60mins Chilling didnt...

Gonna make this on Friday. “Birch Tree Oatmeal Stout” 4000g Pale Malt 250g Crystal Malt 250g Chocolate Malt 150g Black Malt 300g Flaked Oats 15g Roast Barley 45g Goldings Hops 8.3% (90mins) 30 IBU S-04 Yeast Based on Vossy's excellent recipe! Do you caramelise any of the wort?

This does sound a good one. I cant decide if I should brew this on Friday or one of my own that I have just flung together. Hmmmm......really fancy trying a stout...my Caledonia 80 turned out a lot more like a stout and it was good. May be sound a stupid question but where's the best place to...

I like the sound of that....thinking of doing another on Friday but not too sure what yet. Have a good one! ;)
