Cheap Charlie Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Looks like your brew will taste a lot better than VB . Still learning AG as you probably know, newbie question, what do you expect from the 15g of Carafa III? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carafa is dehusked so does not introduce any harsh flavours, Heaps of older Aussie brews used roast barley and the like to improve colour. 40 minutes ago, RDT2 said: Just colour adjustment to make it a little darker, Great choice! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Lager malt. 300gm white sugar. 20gm roasted barley. Mash at 65c. POR 60 min addition for 25 IBU or sub Super Pride. WY2042 Danish Lager or WLP850 Copenhagen Lager which is supposedly the carlsberg yeast and is what CUB uses. Ferment at 12c for a couple of days then let it rise to mid/late teens till it finishes. Then the usual cold crash etc etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I'd say about using this yeast is it might taste a little more malty than VB. Not saying that's a bad thing but getting away from VB taste IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the yeasts as you have said but I don’t think I can get any of those at this time. I will take the risk with sgl as it is a great yeast and would be a shame to not use it. I make this one and then adjust as needed for next one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
