Only time I’ve used melanoidin was in a Belgian blonde (having been told it was an ok substitute for a decoction) and the beer ended up with a tonne of honey flavour. Was only about 5% of grain bill, could that be the source? There was a bit of biscuit and Munich in there too

I find it pretty hard to believe tariffs are going to bring back any jobs to the US. Might boost the Mexican steel industry though ;) I’ll hold judgement on whether NK talks can be called ‘productive’. Just saying yes to an invite that every recent president has got (and has turned down with...

21L Dry Stout 19L Rye IPA Total - 4230

Thanks for the welcomes people, excited for brewday tomorrow:Cheers:

It's already been mentioned but basic Oxi-cleaners (sold as fabric stain removers) are a lot cheaper than proper PBW and my understanding is that they do almost the same job. My local supermarket sells their own brand for £3 per kilo (make sure it's the free from perfumes etc.), can probably...

Hi everyone, Started brewing last summer and have been lurking on forums, soaking up all the great knowledge, thought it was about time to sign up! I've been brewing stovetop BIAB with 10 x 10l brews under my belt (with some success and some disasters!) and just DIY'd a 33l plastic bucket...
