Hi Dan, There should be at least a two step mash , 1st @ 147 °F @ say 2.865l/Kg and 2nd @ 155-6°F @ say 1.075 L/Kg , then 1st Sparge @ 170°F @1.075L/Kg / 3rd Mash Heat @ 158°F , then 2nd @ 3.685 L/Kg @165°F. As to a water profile, a Burton profile would be good , yeast strain seems OK , I'd have...

Hi Dan, Which recipe are you doing ? , and could you let me know which hops you're substituting , or have available in the hop freezer ? Depending on which recipe , I wouldn't bother with the colouring up , though if you're going to , pop me a pm and I'll forward my procedure for colour...

Hi All , If it's possible with all grain , no reason why it shouldn't work on an extract kit . Though I'd only do it with a gravity at , or below 1.045° , Cheers Edd PS: Quite a few of the weaker old beer recipies I write are designed for drinking within 3 weeks.

Hmm , Bit of a puzzler , hopefully sterilizing everything in use when brewing , and later on @ bottling should obviate any future problems , Cheers Edd

Hi Funboy, We're all capable of having what I like to call Brain Farts ! , it happens to the best of us!! . Cheers Edd

Hi Funboy , Thanks for letting me know , that the finings have been eliminated as a contributing factor . Cheers Edd PS: the high to low temp variations, and if it actually froze could be the culprit.

Hi All , Doesn't sound like rope to me , that's usually a dark helical strand like thread with an earthy aroma and an overly pronounced bitterness . Could I ask what finings you're using, and at what temperature they've been stored at ? , as it sounds like a finings issue (at the mo !!)...

Hi All , Here`s another for you lucky mashers to get stuck into !! , it`s a Bitter from the old Ellis Warde Webster brewery in Ormskirk , as brewed at the Dallam Lane Brewery of Peter Walker & Sons in 1936 , (I`ve also got two of their Milds from 1924 & 1929 as brewed @ Dallam Lane ; if anyone`s...

Hi All, Not all squares are "Yorkshire" type ie : a two chamber , and not all breweries in Yorkshire used squares , and some only used them on certain classes of beer , old fashioned Open 'squares'(usually an oblong) are , just as described with attemperators sitting in the f.v . On the yeast...
