Also forgot to say I have used US-05 for all my BIAB's so far and would like to try something different...perhaps Mangrove Jack's M44? Would this work well?

Ah..course, multiple malts makes it by definition NOT a SmASH to start with....doh! As I only have a 15L kettle and don't want boil overs due to over filling it- I am guessing a top up in FV instead of extra mash or sparge water is okay at a push?

Hi all I'm considering a Galaxy SmASH BIAB for my next brew as I have never used the hop but know I like it after having it in some commercial brews. Therefore after some help. I've come up with the following malt bill and hop schedule for starters... 2.6 kg Crisp Malting - Extra Pale...

Sounds like an interesting kit; I'm in. Thank you.

I think I have said on another thread that the wife got me involved in all of this with a starter kit from which I progressed through to extract brewing and now small batch all grain. I think she regrets her decision but she is pretty good about it all. To be fair to me, I don't take the mick by...

Other than actually putting the probe in the beer which can lead to all sorts of infection issues; I think the probe in contact with FV and insulated is as accurate a method as you can use. I did this with my first ever brew fridge fermented beer (bottled last night!)

I cold steeped for an attempt at Oatmeal Stout, my second BIAB AG beer. I didn't like how it came out but I think this didn't have anything to do with the cold steeping, perhaps something went wrong during my process as I am very inexperienced with AG. The beer finished very high, no head, very...

I have just brewed an IPA (fermenting now) with Citra and Cascade and I didn't add my bittering hops (Magnum) until 20 mins before the end then 10, 5, and below 80c. I'll also dry hop for between 3-5 days. Will be first time I have "late hopped" so will be interesting to see how it goes.

I have a Citra / Cascade ipa on the go at the moment which is the first time for me using my brew fridge. These are my thoughts on my experience of using it (so far- five days into fermenting). 1. My heater cable (45w tube heater) would not go through the drain hole, and it is a brand new...

Irish Moss is a clearing agent.

I know you said "hoppy beers" but if you don't mind the occasional stout; Coopers' Stout is basically bombproof, and you can experiment endlessly with that kit once you have got the hang of the basics.

I brewed a Citra / Cascade IPA on Sunday morning, my 3rd BIAB all grain attempt. 2.5 kg Crisp Malting - Finest Maris Otter 38 3 91.7% 225 g Flaked Barley 32 2.2 8.3% 15 g Magnum Pellet 10.2 Boil 20 min 22.17 9.1% 10 g Citra Pellet 12.8 Boil 10 min 11.11 6.1% 20 g Cascade Pellet 7.8 Boil 10...

Really well with the brewday; got up at 6 yesterday, mashed in by 6.45, no problems with mash temp or boil, nice rolling boil on my portable induction hob, no chill seemed to work okay as well. HOWEVER- I should have set the fridge up as best I could for as soon as pitching temp was reached. Had...

I'll be using my fermentation fridge for first time hopefully this weekend. A bit annoyed that it won't be as neat as I hoped as the drain hole in my fridge isn't big enough to feed heater cable through and I am not drilling it as it's a brand new fridge. Excited to have proper temp control...

I would drink Duvel Citra until it came out of my ears. Or more likely at 9.5%, until I fell over.

I should stop looking at this thread; I have all the stuff for my 3rd BIAB attempt (Citra Cascade Pale) but am so tempted for a quick brewday with this kit as it sounds amazing!!!!

My missus sleeps with her mouth open (she can't keep it shut even when unconscious:coat:) and does this combination of snoring and clicking which frankly has made me consider suffocating her in her sleep. However I have gone for those moulded wax earplugs which work pretty well. Problem with...

These 2 are my regular glasses- the Teku for 330ml bottles, and the Moor glass for pints / 440ml. Before that I tended to use a Brewdog "Jackhammer" glass which is good for bottled IPA's.

I've only done 2 BIAB brews but I insulated my kettle (15L stock pot) with radiator foil and wrapped it in a winter coat and it only dropped about 1.5 degrees in an hour.

I did this kit, a while ago now. I thought I was clever though and added additional spray malt so the ABV ended up about 10%. I ended up draining quite a lot of it as it just hit like a truck and after drinking it alongside a couple of Coopers I was, err, more than a bit worse for wear. I...
