The black ipa asked for 90min boil the other2 60mins but I only boiled 30mins on 1 of those, so id have to say over boiling probably not the reason for the treacle flavour unless I never put enough water in on the boil ie ive ended up with overly intense wort, but that never happened on the...

Have a look at your water suppliers water profile for where you live, Mine has a brewing section, plug those numbers into something like brewfriend and it'll give you an idea of any adjustments you might want to make, found out my water has a high sulphate to chloride ratio makes it taste...

I'm finding the coopers kits finishing around the 1.008, think I've had 1 go down to 1.004 using thier yeast and still had it go down to 1.008 with us05, I'm busy playing around water chem and maltodextrin to sort out the bitterness and mouth feel, almost cracked it I think 🤞🤣

Yep I think my SG was still low after 1kg of dex/DME so ended up another 200-300g in to get it to the expected SG.

I've just started doing 5ltr all grain kits biab, 3 so far 2x stout/porter and 1 black ipa(tasted like a porter to me) I've mashed 2 different ways 1st was in a pot wrapped in blankets and left for an 1hr or so the other2 I did as best I could on a stove top trying to keep the temp around 65°...

It ok the way these lot are going, the only people with transport will be the elites, if they could tax o2 they would.

Did that once 30yrs ago on my first car, must have done the test traveling down hill because a month or so later ran out of fuel way before I was expecting, during rush hour and on a bridge😱😱😱.

I was starting to think I need to add maltodextrin or and bi carb(my waters low at 55ppm?) I made a calcium chloride adjustment on this brew as I thought the sulphate/chloride ratio was off, to improve mouth feel etc. Anyhow this coopers irish stout Ive just recently done, is now into its 3rd...

I'm going to try this again but using bottled water and see if turns out any better🤞 Im brewing to a recipe on par with others and my stouts are turning out sub par??? Whats everybody's FG? Im getting 1.006-1.010 on the coopers kits, this is even with using DME instead of dex and brewing...

Don't get me wrong I'm not producing anything horrid, it's just not what I'd call a stout more dark ale, maybe it's the current lack of carbonation that's making a massive difference and will taste far better next month🤞 I've brewed numerous stouts/porters over this late 6month most short at...

Hopefully yours turns out better than mine, I'm starting to think I need to get my head around the water chemistry, as all the porters n stouts ive done so far have been watery??? Strangely Im only having this issue with the malt x kits, the 2x all grain kits Ive done so far have been at the...

How much conditioning does the coopers irish stout need? Ive tried a bottle 12days after bottling and I'm not impressed, tastes more like a dark mild to me, was expecting way better after seeing the reviews. I brewed using the following 1x Coopers tin 600g Xdme 600g dex 100g wheat dme Us-05...

They're hiding the existence of God, We're in the matrix and if we're in the matrix then the world you see, touch, taste, smell doesn't exist anywhere but in your head.

Has anyone had a go at Crossmyloofs 1gallon black ipa kit "comfortably not to style"?....ive tried a bottle and it's definitely not to style🤣 taste like Guinness west indies porter if im honest, is this what its supposed to taste like or have I messed up somewhere?

Looks like I'm 1of the lucky 1s as my water company has a brewers section on their report, just done my first water treatment to balance the sulphate to calcium chloride ratio, mine was way off, I was wondering why my porters would come out with a thin mouth feel and there was a bitter note at...

I looked at this 10yrs or so ago with the intention of debunking it, came out the other end convinced we're in a simulation 🤣🤣🤣
