I have done this, it's just not shown. :oops:

Well I did one here. http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=16936&p=169733&hilit=fridge+bypass#p169733 If that's not it try the search button.

I'm going to agree with beffrey and then disagree with him. Yes it's down to personal taste, but then I like a little sweetness to my beers. I've found I don't like 100% pale malt beers so will add at least a small amount of caramalt or a light crystal, 5% tends to be good for my palate, but...

Yes, it's fine.

I'm not sure which I enjoy most, the brewing, the making the kit, the talking about or the dri..... Nope, definately the drinking. I do sometimes think it's become more of an obsession than a hobby though.

You did mention WLP051 which like I said is meant to be the same strain, so I suggest trying that. In fact I shall be ordering some soon to give a go.

The best yeast I've used for pales, apa's, ipa's etc has been Wyeast 1272 which is supposedly the same strain as WLP051. More malt flavour than US-05, still lets the hops shine and floculates a lot better. I've recently made a few with WLP023, I'm not keen on the taste, I find it adds a sulphury...

Yup... you can even find guides on here how to do it. http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1709 http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1418

Surely that's a l*rger drinker?

Not a SMaSH but I'm currently drinking a brew made with 96% Lager malt and 4% Caramalt, all Saaz and brewed at 18 degrees with US-05. I was intending some kind of fake lager but it ended up along similar lines to Summer Lightening, just slightly sweeter.

I attended my first CBA meet earlier this month and took an all Citra brew along to be tasted, first person took a sniff and said "Cats Piss". I was somewhat taken aback but luckily the vast majority said they'd have another. So yes it does have an odd aroma but tastes very nice, I say...

I think you'll find a lot of us use the BFOSP (Big F Off Shiny Pan), all manner of heating methods are used from BFOGB (BFO Gas Burners) to kettle elements to immersion or water heater elements, I even saw someone recently mention an induction heating thingy. Anyway the best place to source...

I have the opposite problem in that my SWMBO will swear blind she's told me something and I'll be equally adamant that she hasn't. Personally I think it's her fault for talking all the bloody time, there's only so much listening a man can be expected to do!

Oooh, thats only 23 miles away! :cheers:

These £2.20 per 15 bottles.

Mine usually come out around 5-6% though I'm now making an effort to brew them a bit weaker so I can drink more.... or is that drink the same amount but not fall over?

Wyeast 1272, I've brewed a few APA's with this. It drops out a lot better than US-05 and gives more a more characterful flavour while stilll letting the hops shine.

Good idea, maybe a little bit late for that now though.
