his flabber is totally gastered
I have it on good authority that any failings can be glossed over by the purchase of a new bike.

Tried brewing my second brown ale today, an American brown, to be precise. First one was a complete screw up with a totally stck mash (had a bunch of oats in it but the vessel I was using was more the issue). It turned out nice but it much more of a porter than a brown.
Today, I think, if I'm lucky, I brewed a red, otherwise, it's going to be a hoppy amber.
Voyager compass - 69%
Voyager Veloria - 21%
Dark Crustal - 5%
Light choc - 2% (10m)
Shepherd's Delight - 1.5% (10m)
Brown malt - 1.5%
FWH - Amarill0 30g, Magnum 10g
10 min - Ella 15g, Citra 15g, Amarillo 15g
whirlpool - Ella 20g
Actually hit my numbers, which is only the second time since doing AG: pre-boil 1055, post-boil 1061
Was aiming for 67 mash temp but let it drop down to 64 at one stage, due to divided attention.
Did two cubes, will dry hop one and leave the other neat to compare flavours. Both will be US05.

It's been a long time since I've brewed belgian ales but I've been thinking it would be good to put a Dubble and some belgian pale ales. I've got som 3787 ardennes yeast, I look forward to getting some Belgians going. It's been too long.
I typically use a liquid yeast for 2 to 4 batches. I'm trying to figure out if I should use the belgian yeast to do a belgian Stout that I've been thinking about or wait until the next yeast which will be my standard english ale yeast, ringwood (probably 6 to 9 months away) for a more typical stout. Anyone brewed or drank a Belgian stout? Worth doing? I can imagine balancing the phenolics and roast might be hard fo get right. Tips?

That reminds me I've got about 8L of misc brett beer in a keg that's been ageing for 1.5 years. Not sure whether to blend an old ale or something else... at least it doesnt oxidise with brett in there, I'll probably figure out what to do in another 1.5 years.

Agreed. Hoppy browns and reds are beautiful but you need more hops for their flavour to cut through the malt. American browns are probably my favourite style to brew or drink.

I use fresh from my garden. So IDK the difference. Last time I made it I juiced the ginger and boiled that juice.
The recipe says to boil solids and all, it's better if you don't.

sooooooo, this should go into the fuckwit thread........ I was sweet on the tap hole in the side of the fridge but this morning I went to drill my 8mm hole for gas on opposite side of tap but a little bit back and up towards the back of the fridge ...................................................................................
and .................................... psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss i hit a fucking line. Panic set in as I had a keg full and chilled without a home now .....so it was gumtree local to the rescue with a 40 buck fridge and a bit of cursing whilst powering around the streets in the kombi.... had to go buy a 4 pack of consequence to sooth my day
..that was a good bar fridge, treated me well for many a year
.....to be continued

Chesty with a collar and temp controlled with a inkbird is the way you want to go.

M42 Mangrove Jacks yeast - just one pack dry chucked in the FV and left to do it's thing for 3 weeks, maybe that's why it ended up so clear even with the dry hopping.

My brewing gear is BIAB (Brew In A Bag)
I'm using a 50L Nano kettle from cheakypeak with their new mesh basket which is so much better than a bag especially for sparging. I also no chill into a cube so it's a really super simple set up and I can't see any reason to go for a 3 vessel set up, keep it simple and enjoy less cleaning and gear maintenance. A 50L kettle is awesome for 21L BIAB batches and can mash in Russian Imperial Stouts with 9kg grain but only just.
