    Ordered wrong malt ratios, what can I brew with it?

    Thanks. It was the Wheat and Pils malts I inversed, the Typ1 is the same as I always use. I am liking the idea of a Saison, I've never made one, now just need to find a recipe !

    Ordered wrong malt ratios, what can I brew with it?

    Hi All, Well, I screwed up when ordering my malt (the malts are pre-mixed), so instead of the ingredients for my normal Weissbier, I've got: 60% Pilsner malt 30% wheat malt 10% Caramunich Typ 1 So, I'm wondering what I could do with that, what sort of beer to make? It's not going to make a...

    Agreed... However, there is a lot of infrastructure that needs to be installed in order to make this even close to a reality, and since many countries in Eastern Europe supply Western Europe with both consumer products and component / sub-assembly manufacturing, then it will have to be...

    Understood. So far what I have seen ranges from those perforated plates you mentioned to solid aluminium and also Stainless (for Induction)

    Mashtun & kettle scorching - solution ?

    Thanks for your reply! Yes, sorry, it is gas burner underneath. The same company supplied the Burners. I'm looking to do this on a "cheap and cheerful" budget, so a piece of metal would ideally be best ?

    Mashtun & kettle scorching - solution ?

    Hi All, I have a 300 liter Polsinelli brewing system which has a mash/lauter tun and kettle with what seems to be a very thin bottom (it is new from 2018 but I have not used it yet). I have heard from other people with the same system that they get a lot of scorching in both the mash/lauter...

    The US's only Trappist brewery is closing

    I am a "hop head", so I love a good IPA.. The problem I find is most American style IPAs taste horrible. Locally, they are dry hopping with hop pellets and it tastes just wrong....

    Brewdog flouted US laws over beer imports

    I have had their Punk IPA, it's ok, not great. Their Dead Pony Club is horrible (low/no alcohol IPA). Their beers are really are nothing to write home about.

    Electric trucks.

    Anything can be done if one puts one's mind to it. Your USB vs iPhone charger is exactly why the EU has said "no more" and forced manufacturers to standardize on USB C. They simply need to legislate this for car batteries and the problem goes away. The engineers will then find a way to make it...

    Electric trucks.

    I am wondering where you get the idea that once a car is sold and out of lease/warranty it ceases to earn the manufacturer any revenue. In fact it is quite the opposite. Car manufacturers make a large portion of their revenue out of the sale of spare parts and repairs, not out of the sale of the...

    Electric trucks.

    Structural batteries have several extreme downsides. One is that you cannot change it yourself, meaning you are at the mercy of the manufacturer to offer you the service to replace it. Two, they can charge you an astronomical fee to do so. As previously mentioned, try pricing the swapping of...

    F1 shambles

    F1 is boring as watching paint dry. It has more to do with a soap opera than with actual / real racing. To me, real racing that is exciting to watch is: - Dakar (previously know as Paris - Dakar) - 24 Heures du Mans - Die grüne Hölle (aka 24 Hours of Nurburgring)

    Electric trucks.

    Sort of how they sorted the problems of diesel, petrol, LPG and Hydrogen being available at petrol stations. If the will is there, it will happen. Indeed, some (likely German or French) company will have to come up with a workable solution. It doesn't have to be it if is done intelligently...
