A while ago I was offered 2 old kegs for free with a box full of old fittings from the RSL but I declined as I didn't know then that I would be kegging !! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried brewing a clone myself a few years ago, the recipe I had included 500g mollasses. It wasn't great, in fact the molasses was too overpowering and it's obvious to me now that the recipe I had used WAY too much molasses! The Old Perc I sampled off the tap only had a fraction, though still noticeable molasses twang. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhaus Fritz Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 After 30 days it's finally ready, perfect subtle carbonation, great head and taste. Woodforde's Old Conckerwood Black Ale kit. Third time I brewed it and it is still so enjoyable, the first two brews were identical in OG, FG and ABV. This one had a Lower OG and higher FG, therefor only ABV 5.1% instead of 6.1%. Still a very enjoyable drop. Why the difference, not sure. Will I brew it again, absolutely 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 On 6/30/2022 at 1:41 PM, Shamus O'Sean said: You are right about dark grains in stouts having a higher pH than Pale grain. Therefore the dark brews do not usually need added acid. Not trying to say anything other than bring a point of discussion for clarification... And I admit I might be completely wrong and have missed the point completely - hopefully we can clarify maybe. To begin with might be worthwhile noting that the pH log Scale goes from 1-14 and that 7 is Neutral... and everything below 7 is classed in the Acidic zone and above 7 in the Alkaline zone. Acid solutions - like hydrochloric and phosphoric etc are low numbers like 3 and below. Alkaline solutions like caustic soda ar in that 12-14 range. Buffered drinking water w say some hardness brought about by Calcium content can be in that 6-7 range and mostly in the 6.5-8.5 zone. Pure Rainwater in general is more acidic like 5 to 5.5 If the Dark Grains have a higher pH - then would you not need more Acid to drop it back down to where you want it to be -- as opposed to not needing added acid? If the Dark Grains generate a lower pH - then you do not need to add more acid. So more acid in a solution drops the pH - and more alkalinity raises the pH... I would rather not say that Dark Grains are acidic - but more that a mash or solution made with Dark Grains would be more acidic. Acid Base accounting is associated with solutions afaik not solids. I have had to use pH meters in the past in work situations and they shittttt me so I am happy flying blind with my rainwater and do use acidulated malt from time to time but seem to make good beer without it too... Hopefully this discussion will be of some benefit to some brewers here... and my apologies to those who may see this as completely irrelevant. The below might be useful: Dark malts are naturally acidic and so adding them to the mash causes the pH to drop. https://grainfather.com/dark-malts-and-their-effects-on-mash-ph/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. You are right IP. My bad. I got my higher and lower in pH around the wrong way. And it is better to say that dark grains are more acidic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
