I've just finished off my fourth brew with all grain looking for ideas for my next brew day. The ingredients I have are pale malt, pilsner, Munich , wheat malt, malted oats, crystal 60, carafa3, chocolate malt, roasted barley, for hops I have azzaca sorachi ace, citra, cascade,mosaic, Amarillo.
Do you have a local homebrew store? Trying to force something given the ingredients you have is always an adventure. Maybe that's what you want, and if so, that's fine. Do you have fermentation temp control? When I saw you had pilsen malt, I thought about brewing a lager.
But you'd probably want a noble hop for that, which you don't have Hallertau, for instance. And lager yeast. Or a California Common. Takes lager yeast to do, but you ferment at ale temps. Maybe Mangrove Jacks. If I were you, I'd find an established recipe that looked good and used most of what I had on hand, then get the yeast and any additional ingredients. I have a homebrew shop down the street from me just thought it would be easier if I said what I had on hand was thinking maybe I'd do a saison but would need more ingredients of course.
Really just looking for a nice drinking beer for the summer months. Joined May 18, Messages 1, Reaction score I'd brew a pale ale or brown ale. Velnerj Simul justus et potator. What was your gateway beer into craft beer? Mine was a brown ale and around my 4th or 5th brew I tried to make one. Turned out OK but it gave me something to work on and perfect.
Maybe it's something you could think about. Develop your own house ale as an homage to the beer that hooked you in. ProblemChild Well-Known Member. Joined Jun 14, Messages Reaction score Mmmm porter. Hoppy pale wheat. If you want even more control over your coffee, the pour-over method is where it's at. Some pour-over aficionados even use a scale when making their coffee.
They can measure the specific amount of coffee and water to ensure they have the perfect ratio every single time. With the pour-over method, you can be as specific as you like. You have complete control over the amount of coffee, the temperature of the water, and even the speed of the water dripping through the grounds. If you wish to have complete command over the situation, add a quick-read thermometer to your pour-over kit.
This will help in determining the ideal degree temperature for your brewing. Place your cup on the scale and add the pour-over cone. If the cone uses a paper filter, add that as well. Now, tare the scale make the scale read zero and add your precise amount of grounds to the cone.
As you are preparing the coffee, cup, and grounds, boil your water. After the water comes to a boil, take it off the heat and insert the thermometer. Wait a minute or two until the water is the ideal temperature then slowly drizzle some water over the grounds to wet them. Once they're wet, slowly and steadily pour the rest of the water over the grounds until your ideal amount of water has been added.
Once the liquid finishes filtering into your cup you're ready to go. Use the pour-over method if you are extremely particular about your coffee. Cold brew coffee has really hit its stride lately. With the subsequent coffee beverage having zero bitterness, it's no wonder people have flocked to this method of brewing.
Add to the fact that it is, hands down, the easiest way to get your caffeine fix and it's surprising more people don't brew their coffee this way. Using the cold brew method also gives you the highest caffeine content of all the methods. The first step is mashing where grains are steeped at a specific temperature for about an hour.
Then you have the lautering process which is the act of taking the spent grains out of the liquid. This can be done by using false bottoms and drainage systems. The next step is called the sparge where you slowly transfer liquid from one container to another and rinse the grains to get rid of as much of the fermentable sugar as possible. These two steps can take hours to complete. After that, you do a hop boil which is usually takes about hour. For a typical brew day it will take you hours depending on the brew.
While the customization is endless it does take significantly more time, equipment, and money to brew all-grain.
I am not passionate about homebrewing. But I do enjoy it. I am more passionate about spending time with my family, doing fun activities with my kids, watching sports, exercising, sport shooting, and several other things. Beer so I can brew a batch in 30 minutes and do everything else I want to do.
There are other things I would rather do than watch a pot boil for 8 hours. By using HME as a base I can easily experiment with other ingredients to make any kind of crazy beer I can think of in a short amount of time. Here at Mr. Beer, we have 16 different base styles you can brew from, then building off of those 16, we have created over different recipes which we constantly rotate.
We use hops, grains, DME, fruit, soda, heck even bacon. Since we are using the HME as a base it shortens the brew day and allows us to get very creative with our recipes.
There are 6 key reasons why I think you should brew with Mr. They mean a heck of a lot to me, so I hope they mean something to you too. It reduces brew day from hours down to 30 minutes. Even the most complex recipes will take from 1 to 1. You will have time to enjoy the important things in your life. Who wants to spend an entire day watching the pot boil? The Mr. Beer Kit is compact. We use a 2-gallon fermenter that does not take up much space.. All you need to brew are a few common kitchen items.
No extra pots, tubes, strainers, buckets, or anything else. To get started with Mr. Beer all you need is one of our 2-Gallon Beer Making Kits.
Let's break it down. The cost per beer, for a Mr. The best value to brew and save money is clearly Mr. I went over the basic brewing process earlier.
A lot of the boiling involved with each of the processes requires you to hold the boil at certain temperature range for a specific period of time. When brewing with Mr. Using our HME takes out those variables so you can get a more consistent beer every time you brew. We have all had that one experience when a friend you know is just hyping up this restaurant.
You decide to give it a try after days of anticipation from hearing how good it is. Then that 1st bite of food is just terrible. Well, brewing with Mr. Beer can help prevent that in your beer. Each beer will live up to the hype. I am extremely proud of the customer support we offer at Mr. Not only are we the best support for a homebrewing company, I think we offer the best support of any company.
Additionally, some coffees — such as Italian and French roasts — are very bitter. This will affect the amount of hops used. A good rule of thumb is to slightly decrease the hop content by five to eight IBUs and keep bitterness in check. Under-hopping will help control the bitterness while allowing coffee to contribute to the flavor structure. Of course, if you prefer bitter beers, then you may not want to decrease the amount of hops in your beer.
The next two entirely subjective questions are these: How and when should the java be added to the brew? This too depends on individual tastes. When using beans in any form, it is best to place the beans in a grain bag, whether steeping the grains or adding them in the boil or fermentation. This makes racking easier — no clogged siphon tubes — and reduces the clean- up mess.
A fine ground that is not bagged can get through the siphon tube. But, whether going to the secondary or bottle, these remains may add more coffee flavor than desired. If the bag is loose filled — that is, left with plenty of air space and not condensed — there should be a high surface contact ratio of beer to bean.
Some brewers prefer to add the beans directly to either the boil or fermenting stages, thinking this will increase the coffee-ness of the beer, but actually it can be more difficult later when trying to get the grounds out of the spent keg. The state of the beans is also up for debate. Though whole beans are an option, some brewers prefer using coffee beans that have been lightly, medium or course ground, or crushed ground just enough to break open the beans.
Either way, this will increase the contact ratio and heighten flavors. There is the belief among some brewers that using freshly-brewed espresso will add the best flavors to any beer. This relates to the special hot- water pressure process used to bring out the best in the bean and produce a powerfully small cup of joe.
This can be done with a machine or through a cold seep method. To do this, simply place the ground coffee into a grain bag and soak the bag in cold water for a couple of days. Remember, this brew — however you make it — will eventually go into the beer. Have a sanitized container ready to hold the coffee until the time comes to add it to beer.
Furthermore, it is best to find the freshest coffee available, and this does not include instant coffee or canned coffees like Folgers. Brewers have also reported this style of coffee can produce off-flavors in the beer. Perhaps the easiest way to attain coffee flavors is through an extract. Moka Liqueur Extract, a coffee-flavored extract used to produce homemade Kalhua, is one possibility, while coffee oils are available at health food stores, though the oils may effect head retention.
Homebrew shops may also carry extracts. Though not commercially available, Starbucks developed an extract that would work well with their ice cream and Frappuccino drinks. The extract is derived from a cold-water concentrating process that is designed to bring out more of the positive side of the coffee and keep the bitterness in check.
When added to an Imperial Stout recipe, the popular — though short-lived — brew was born. As a home- brewer I would use exactly that — make some espresso, not necessarily with espresso beans, and add it during or after your primary fermentation.
