You just break the inner sealed nutrient pack.

Cheers. Seems pretty straight forward.

Next bit arrived. Just need the DME now. Payday Friday. Having had the text from the bank today ' overdraft limit exceeded ' will wait until then.

Also sent me these which as far as I know. I didn't order. Bonus! Recipe States EGK. Which I have in freezer from last brew. But would these be pretty similar if I used these instead? Just a thought. Or save for another brew.

Home brewers curse eh, bungle? FV's full, bank account empty!

Story of my life!! Times of hardship calls for a drink. What a vicious circle this is[emoji2]

I would stick to the EKG and use the WGV in another recipe. You could use them instead of the Northern Brewer/Northdown for bittering in the pale ale recipe I posted, for example. Increase the quantity, WGV have lower alpha acid content than those two, the acids which provide the bitterness..

I'll pick your brain on that matter when I get round to giving that a go.

Right. This landlord recipe States for 25l lob 2980g DME. If I order a 3kg bag and just dump it all in to save sterilising and fafing with scales will it make that much difference? Also from weighing it in last brew I lost bits of it that stuck in the bags and pots I weighed in. So I estimate that due to loss still stuck in bag. I'll be around the desired ammount anyway?

Lob it in.

Bunglebrewsbeer · Mar 12, 2015

That's what I thought.

Brew day tomoz. Yippee!! Two quick questions. The yeast currently in packet in fridge. Is it best to get out over night to warm a little before smacking it to get it going or just leave in and get out in the morning? 2nd. Some of the hops I'm using are currently in freezer from last brew. Do I need to get them out or can I lob them in Frozen tomoz and let them defrost as they boil away?

clibit · Mar 18, 2015

Get the yeast out in the morning. Lob the hops in frozen.

Happy days. My station is all set up. Much to Mrs Bungles joy!! Recipe States 3g Irish moss for last 10min. Don't have any but can nip get some first thing. Any issue not doing so?

clibit · Mar 19, 2015

Irish moss helps improve clarity when you use grain. The higher the percentage of grain in the recipe the more necessary it is. I've made clear beers without it. But I use it cos it does work. Not needed in extract beers.
