This sounds like a great idea, making a winter or other brew with berries incorporated. Just to have someone taste my beer and give me constructive feed back would be great. I'm not short of people who want to drink my beer, but I don't know anyone who brews and can give some good advice. I'm...

Castle by South African breweries, it tastes of chemicals......yuck. But, it did get me in to brewing. After being in SA for a year I found a coopers kit in a store, and wow, beer you could actually drink, share and enjoy. So yes I hate castle beer, but in a way I'm really grateful for it ;)

As yet nothing has been deducted from my PayPal account and the delivery date is still showing August 17. I'll keep the thread updated as the soap continues :)

Well, I have had two delivery dates, Monday and today and no sign of a parcel!! Im sure it will arrive tomorrow and I will be milling grain this weekend :whistle:

All the best for your first brew :thumb:

Soon you will have your answer, as the proof of the method will be in the tasting :) If you find your lasted brew has improved and your happy with it, then stick to your ice bath until you can see your way to improve the method with a brew fridge. However, if there is no improvement, then you...

This is good to know, I almost went with flaked oats, but wasn't sure if it would give similar results to Torrified wheat. Well my brew is in the FV and it looks, smells and taste good so far. I'll only really know the true results once it has been conditioned in the bottle.

I'm brewing the flaked malted wheat and will post the results.

I've just received a delivery confirmation for this coming Monday! I must admit I'm a little surprised, as I only placed the order a few days ago and expected a note from Amazon cancelling the order. So it will be interesting to see what this mill looks like, and will it be better than my...

Thank you, I just spat half a cup of freshly brewed coffee across the room when I read this :lol: Great start to my morning, this will keep me smiling all day :thumb:

Thanks very much for the replies. The cellar at the time of brewing was a bit colder, which I thought may be too cold for that yeast, otherwise it would have gone straight there. I will bottle it in about a weeks time as I will be away, and then put it down in the cellar for conditioning.

I have recently brewed an dark old English ale, using a MJ Craft Series M07 British Ale. I made a starter the day before pitching, since the yeast was a few month out of date, and it's quite a strong ale. It started to ferment within a few hours and continued for approx 6 days. The OG was 1,060...

I use homemade mesh bags and let them move around freely which works well. If I have a large amount of hops to add at one time, this allows me to split them between several bags so I get the maximum water circulation.

Now I'm confused, I know it doesn't take much.......so will it be the original design with or without some comment on the back or black lines on a coloured or white t-shirt??

Thank you very much for your reply and confirming that TW is not malted. If TW is only milled wheat grains, then I should be able to find that locally so I'll give that a try. Again, thanks for your help.

Can anyone help? I have a few recipes that call for Torrified Wheat (TW), and I can't find a supplier here in Southern Germany that stocks it. Does anyone know of a replacement? I have searched the forum and Google but without success. My supplier stocks this: Château Chit Wheat...

That is my understanding as well. My brew tasted good, but it didn't have that nice rounded flavour of the Fourtyniner, but I don't know if the absence of TW is the reason or if it was something else. I'll give it another go and follow your recipe without the TW and see how it turns out...

Thank you very much for posting the recipe, which is very similar, apart from I used almost four times more Goldings 23g, and I can't get hold of Torrified wheat so I left it out. I would like to try it again, but without Torrified Wheat I may get a similar result to last time? What to...

Hi, I'm in Rosenheim southern Germany.
