Ahh, what you're tasting is excessive wheat (almost tastes like sour breakfast cereal??). Did you notice that I dropped the level to 500g-750g some time ago?

Did you vary the recipe in any way?

What temp was it brewed at?

Everything seemed fine during prep but 30 hours later there's zero activity through the air lock, no krausen, nada. Peering through the top of the fermenter, there's only vague sign of the yeasties ...

Hello all,

My dad gave me a 1.8kg Brewcraft Newcastle Brown Ale tin (one of his favourites) and I'm keen for suggestions about what to add to it in the way of grain and hops...anything. The instructions suggest using the Brown Ale Enchaner (#72). What do you reckon?
