I put 7gm for a 19L batch based on my sydney water. Thats one to look at for the future. On tank water. The concensus was to leave it as it should be nice and soft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Iv been using a bit of acidulated malt in most my brews lately mostly due to the fact I had it sitting there and its not a large addition but I probably should look at gypsum as its probably a lot cheaper. Was tempted on doing a few using RO water as I have a endless supply of it at work just to see if the difference is noticeable. But I use mostly tank water and it works a treat! good luck with the first AG run! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have another recommendation? It will be a slurry straight out of the fermenter. I have a pseudo rice lager I did at 150 which is at 20 right now and will be kegged while I am whirlpooling the cooled wort tomorrow. I will take a sample right of that yeast cake wash the fermemter and then fill it, pitch and then straight into the fidge at 19O Notty is good mate. If i was going to recommend a dry yeast it would be that or S04. Good stuff mate. Should be a corker!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much have my head around the basics of grain bills. You know the stuff base Malts, dextrine grains for head and body and and roast grains for colour. That is how I see the basics of it. Just have to get hop combinations/flavours and schedules together before I lashout and start putting my own recipes together. Which probably will not be long.

BlackSands Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Another mostly grain (84%) British Golden Ale. Using some left over hops from a previous English bitter. I think the sticklebract hops are really old, no aroma detected so the IBU's are a bit of a guesstimate as a result. Rudstickle Gold (20 litres) 2.5kg GF American Ale Malt 300g GF Toffee Malt 200f GF Sour Grapes Malt 600g LME 10g Green Bullet hops @50mins 25g Sticklebract hops @15mins 25g Dr Rudi hops @5mins 5 Gypsum Kit Yeast! | ABV=4% | EBC= 8 | IBU=35-40 | Already experienced my first mishap.... the grain bag split! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozlizard Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Picking up my NEIPA ingredients today but couldn't get the yeast I wanted. Not sure if I can get any US-05 locally. I have two sachets of the Coopers can yeast, both for pale ale, so I am guessing I could use those in a pinch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steep is cube hop at 82c As it is such a high alpha hop, was hoping this’ll still make a decent beer by only doing a cube hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glance at a few other recipes helps but we do have the right to self determination as Brewers ; ) And I have never brewed a bad AG yet... burnt one due to suspected faulty heating element that was rapidly replaced by supplier... but that was the only failure so far and hopefully will stay that way!?!

Yeah dunno whether I am following properly but SC mate acidulated malt affects pH to assist in pH reduction... while Gypsum is an addition of salts to assist in taking water from a low salt profile to something like Burton-on-Trent harder water for use in Bitter... so they are completely different water treatments... so you cannot drop acidulated malt and add gypsum to achieve the same result... but you can drop acid malt and add Gypsum if you are pursuing a specific water profile more akin to Burton-on-Trent. That's the theory.... now... I shall await quietly for a practical experienced brewer to dump a whole load of hot mash on top of me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
