Turned out rather fine. Having used the only suitable yeast " Belgian ", its quite similar to my last Leffe clone. Easy to drink.

Having a look at this one on ebay. Vevor Anyone have experience of it? Looks similar to Klarstein but less expensive

Scratch that. Seems ok. The SG has gone from 1.050 to 1.007. Defintely has been fermenting as seen on my ispindle profile. Weird that I didn't hear the usual gloop gloop of the airlock, but it was a different type than the one I am used to. Very quiet in use. Well it's kegged up and unser CO2...

Ok, so not much happening in the fermenter, for some reason. When I get home I'll check SG andgo from there. Got some generic ale yeast now so might crash that in if it looks viable. Any advice further than that?

Appreciate the sympathy 🙂

Noted. The pack did have the little notched cut outs but I must have put a little too much effort into opening it.

Threw my last packet of "normal" yeast all over the floor yesterday, and then broke the airlock. If this SMASH turns out ok, it'll be luck rather that good planning.

I've had no problems letting it sit overnight before adding the yeast. I don't normally cool back with the chiller, but as it was so hot, relatively speaking, up here, I thought it best to get it back to 25 before doing anything else.

Balls. Got some bread yeast here too. Just never really considered it to be honest. Ah well. Time and the beer gods will decide.

Might do that. Think I've got some Belgian candy left over.

Used Citra. I do have Saaz here too, and cascade, but Citra won the day. Purely based on coin tosses.

Belgian it is. On the plus side, at least my airlock didn't just fall apart. It did. Not a great day, but at least the weather is spectacular.

Hi folks. Doing a SMASH in the back garden. The yeast i was going to use, if just thrown all over the floor. It was WHC Saturated. All I've got left are Lille Saison, Krystallweizen & Belgian Ale. What one do you think I should use? Just Cooling it back now. I'm a muppet!:?:

Thanks for your valuable input.

Thanks. I was hoping you'd say that, although I do have some more belgian yeast here, I planned on keeping that for the next lot.

Cheers. Its been a week in the fermenter and SG is down to 1.008 which is not a mile off 1.010 as the recipe states. It looks like is actually settled at that, as it's not moved much over the last few days. It's expected as the OG was a little down on spec too at 1.055 vs 1.060. So...

Just brewed this a few days ago. Yeah the 500g took more than a few jug fulls to melt. Hop spider seemed a bit useless in retaining the hops, so I think the idea of adding the sugar to it is a great idea. Currently bubbling away rapidly in the fermenter. @Mash Monster how long did you leave it...

The Malt Miller's Leffe Blond Clone. I suppose it was Sunday I started, but left to cool in the fermenter until yesterday. Woke up this morning to a familiar "gloop gloop" from the air lock. This evening its producing so much Co2, that the airlock isn't locking anymore. Reckon its the candi...

My Ioniq6 is on 3 years 0% PCP. Gauranteed minimum future value. I'll ride out the EV storm until they decide whats going to win. Its just VHS vs Betamax all over again. As i said earlier, I'm saving more than £50 a month on road tax, and my " fuel costs" are less than 25% of what they were. For...

Bought it from TMM. New keg to go with it , so next reasonably sunny day, I'll be on this.
