OK thanks for the info !

Hi thanks for sharing the ale ingredients. How larg is the batch you make with that amount of malts? Do you also have the ingredients for an oatmeal stout? We'planning on making one in September. Thanks in advance!

If the rousing does not work you could try adding half a packet of yeast. Drain a little wort and put the dry yeast in it for a while till it starts foaming a bit. Then add it to your wort by spreading it evenly over the surface. Be sure to sanitize everything before you start: container, spoon...

What also comes in handy is a cheap self adhesive liquid crystal thermometer to stick on your fermenting bucket. That way you can always check the temp of your fermenting wort. Be sure to check out the min and max temp of your yeast on the package or the website of the company, so can keep it...

Hi, I also can relish a good ale with a coffee or chocolate twist in it. Recently brewed a Belgian ale (5.6% vol, 32 ibu, 36 etc) and added 2,5% chocolate malt (900 ebc) to the regular grains. In a previous batch I added about 10%, but that tends to override the overall taste of the ale. I'll...

For IPA or any other beer final lagering in cold (fridge)temperatures is fine.

I store my bottles after the bottle fermentation in a small fridge and keep it there for a week at 5 degrees celsius. The beer clarifies quicker when you store it at colder temps. It's always handy to have fridge during the hotsummer days..[emoji28]

Hi, we've had experience with both ways of boiling the hops. In a small cotton bag and - after we developed a filtering device we just chucked them in and let the hops boil freely in the wort. Our feeling is you get more taste out of your hops this way. BTW we brew the old fashioned way with...

Hey thanks for your quick response!

Hi I'm relatively new to this forum. I normally brew (Belgian) beer, but since I also have an apple tree in the yard which produces a relatively large amount of apple every year, I wonder if you guys have had any experience with production of vinegar. I'm looking for some do's & don'ts and tips...

Wouldn't the tea cover up the fine taste of the cidre too much?

Hi Twostage , I'm new to cidre making. I'm curious why you added the assam to the apple juice. Never heard of it! How is it supposed to taste?

If you don't want your beer to get contaminated bij wild yeasts and turn sour you should always use an airlock. Unless you want to brew the Belgian geuze which is brewed in open copper vessels in during the cold season.

Hi Theo, Just read your message. Ik see I'm a bit late in reacting. How was your brewing session? I'd like your opinion. Me and my mate are also brewing Belgian beers. We've just started early last year and are currently brewing beer on a monthly base.
