    Fermenting Helles

    I’m not creating my own recipes yet. The kit and instructions are good and as always delivery was quick.

    Fermenting Helles

    This is the CML hell yeast and their Weiner Hell Vienna Helles kit.

    Fermenting Helles

    It’s came with the all grain kit. If you buy the yeast separate, it states “it’s preferable to double pitch at 12 degrees” I can see a comparison experiment coming on….

    Fermenting Helles

    Thanks for the reply. I have fridges and inkbirds etc so should a alternate recipe/kit have a different, cooler method I will look forward to seeing the difference.

    Fermenting Helles

    It’s what’s the recipe states. It seems happy enough. It’s only my 4th all grain so not really knowledgeable enough to give a sensible reply to be honest

    Fermenting Helles

    Morning all. I am currently following a recipe for a Vienna Helles which says to ferment at 18 degrees for 4 days and then 21 degrees for 5 days. All has gone well with plenty of activity in the FV and airlock Question is, now what? Do I reduce the temp down again? I can’t bottle it...

    Sorry to re visit. When do you add the sugar and syrup? Into the fermentation bucket?

    Belgian dubbel/brun recipe recommendations

    I have been looking for a Brun recipe to. I have recently bought a Brewster beacon and have done x1 recipe. How would I calculate the water needed for this? There’s 5.5 kg of grain so is it as simple as 22 litres + 5.5L. Then a sparge calculation (again, somehow?)

    Wood burners

    we had this fitted a couple of years ago. It’s made by Contura and is fantastic. Lights easy and retains heat well. We only burn dry wood that I have split/stored myself and it burns lovely and clean. It’s not huge, that’s a very small dog.

    Clear wort?

    Thanks for the detailed reply Matt. I will give it a go. Seems a shame to spend all that time brewing to ditch it, as it turns out unnecessarily. thanks again.

    Clear wort?

    Here are a couple from a week ago that are conditioning in the warm. It’s lovely and clear but, I did end up loosing about 20% of the very small batch due to the trub and protein balls (for want of a better term?)

    Clear wort?

    Will try that next time, thanks. It’s going like the clappers in the FV, still looks like a rolling boil!

    Clear wort?

    I don’t have the facility (yet) for cold crashing. I do however have an ink bird in my stocking and am on the constant search for a freebay fridge! So is there any need to syphon or can I just dump the kettle in to the FV through a sieve?

    Clear wort?

    Hi all I have just started brewing all grain and have done 3x5 litre batches and a 10 litre yesterday. I have been using Irish moss as a fining 10 mins before finishing the boil. Prior to putting the 20ltr pan in the sink to cool I whirlpooled and then all the proteins etc from the Irish moss...
