    Mangrove Jacks Kviek

So going to get a hydro sample later. My AA wasn't planning to be on the piney side I used manderina braveria, galaxy...

    Mangrove Jacks Kviek

    MM was where I got the dried version when I ordered my other ingredients, would I have gone liquid if any were in stock at the time? Maybe. I can see this dried yeast as my go to now, depending on the results

    Certainly looks like it's doing alright. Pitched at around 36c and now 39c, was pretty active within an a couple of hours.

    Mangrove Jacks Kviek

    I used the lallemand dried yeast for my American Amber yesterday. I have switched to kviek yeast mainly due to the time and takes too long to chill to normal yeast. Having more dried yeast variants will be good, liquids sell out quick or double the cost of the dried

    Kveik American Amber

    I've tried many times to brew an american amber, not recently since using Kveik yeast or treating my water. I use to brew one for either fathers day or my dads birthday. Which is going to feel weird as he unexpectedly passed a few days into this year. I was looking through my recipe books few...

    Black IPA with hornindal Kveik

    I don't know how much of an impact the Carafa III will do to the overall flavour compared to how I used it last on a corbel IPA clone but I kind of wanted to try a 'seasonal clone' of sharks need water. Obviously not exactly a clone as I dont know the hop schedule and just had to use the...

    Black IPA with hornindal Kveik

    Malt bill and hop types from Verdant's Even Sharks need water. using hop schedule from LHG's Cheeseburger Cavalry as a basis. Wanted to make a BIPA verison so added 8% Carafa III also used Kveik yeast as I wanted a quick turnaround and now prefer using it. I have about 1/2 a keg left of my...

    Brewday after a long (5 month break) - Kveik IPA

    Brewday presented itself with a few challenges.... scales seemed to be slightly out for a start, then while the water was heating up the extension lead was cutting out. then when it came to flameout/whirlpool the thermometers, which were working fine during the whole morning started to play up...

    Brewday after a long (5 month break) - Kveik IPA

    Has a faint strawberry flavour, need more than something like galaxy as its a subtle hop which could get overpowered, but from memory and what I have read it pairs well with Galaxy

    Brewday after a long (5 month break) - Kveik IPA

    After not brewing since July and as Silly(holiday) season approaching I'm inching to brew again. Just come back from San Francisco and after trying some delicious West Coast beers I thought to try my own, however I'm holding off on that idea until I have a few more of the style, just encase I...

    Kveik

    I'm thinking of using Hornidal or Bjorn for my low abv beer (3.5%) OG 1.033 https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/877109/creatures-great-or-small-kviek Do you think I would need some yeast nutrients to help it? if so how much. I always use Tesco Ashbeck water.

    Kveik

    kviek yeast has got me excited, I struggle to get my wort down to standard pitching temps - that last 10cs are a real ball ache! so pitching around 30c is a major plus, I am thinking my next batch to do an american wit/wheat style beer (similar to a blue moon) but i dont want to use any extras...

    Hoppy West Coast Amber (Watch the C Bomb)

    Feels like its been awhile since I brewed last (probably only been a couple of months max) Thinking of doing something bit different for me, usually brew hazy IPA style beers but this time of year I actually quite like a more malty, have been known to drink and enjoy some pales/ambers, like...

    How often do you get ...

    I've done 3 brews so far this year. Generally brew,drink,repeat. I have space in my garage fridge for 2 kegs which I did do beginning of the year but I find I generally easier just to do 1 brew at a time maybe once a month or every other month. Especially as I then can use the fridge during...

    Sessionable Table Beer

    Thanks for all your points/views. After looking at Kernal's Table beer and the recipe for Siren Yu Lu in the Camra Essential Home Brewing book. I adjusted the malt bill and also reflected the hop schedule to match Siren's Yu Lu. Their single flameout charge has been spilt between my chosen hops...

    Sessionable Table Beer

    I probably have over thought this. I often do when I ponder too long on an idea. What yeast would you suggest would be a good replacement? I've looked into kernel's table beer. Sounds good, I found a byo recipe Clone I'll look into more after work and will probably end up adjusting based on...

    Sessionable Table Beer

    Thanks Ben. I was just thinking about dropping the lactose, I only included it as I found it in the bread bin in the garage pegged up. But was having second thoughts as it's been opened since November, just clipped closed using one of those sandwitch clips. In CAMRA's home brewing essential...
