Hmpf!

An argument in MY thread actually :wink:

I charge $46 per expletive and a straight tenner per contradictory link.
ah f---!

:wink:

BTW Danzar I suspect that small of a quantity of Carapils will have more affect on head retention & mouthfeel than flavour.

I'm thinking of doing something similar. I have just posted in relation to a diet beer. good luck I'd like to hear how it goes. like my beer but don't like my gut. with my diet beer, i didn't ad the kilo of sugar product and added and extra half kilo of malt.

Danzar wrote:Ok, I'm having a go at my own recipe for a Blonde Beer. I have no idea what I'm doing but you gotta start somewhere.

I'll post my ingredients first before I put this down tomorrow. Welcome your initial thoughts. This is a K & K recipe.

1 can Muntons Blonde Beer
1.5kg Coopers Liquid Wheat Malt extract
150g wheat dry malt
125gram Carapils grain, steeped for 30 minutes
Hallertau hops - 12grams
Muntons gold premium yeast - 6g. This is an ale yeast. I think it's along the lines of the US56.

I've added the dry wheat malt for a bit more head retention.

Views? I was even thinking of adding a just a bit of lime zest.
THINKING IS THE HARDEST WORK THERE IS. THAT IS WHY SO FEW PEOPLE ENGAGE IN IT!

I've been busy and just caught up on this one.

Man, I read til the end and forgot what the topic was :lol:

Danzar, the recipe sounds pretty good to me.

Have you tasted lately?

Good to see Danthebeerman is a proud Novacastrian.

Just did last night. I usually crack the last bottle that was bottled after a week as it carbs quickly.

It was lovely. Super creamy and I managed to strip out the excessive fruit that you get with the Muntons Blonde while retaining some of its distinctive flavour (I think I took too much out).

And it turned out super creamy.

The only issue that I have is that there's no single tase that stands out.

I need to change the hop profile, noting that I did exactly what I stated in my recipe with one change - I added 14g of Cascade three days after fermention started (60 min boil).

I'll try the Hall hops that Ahutchy suggested. Can anyone suggest a new hop profile for this beer?

The Muntons is FRUITY. I used dry malt, liquid malt and added the carapils purely to get a creamier beer with better head retention.

I want to retain this creaminess but let some of the fruit back through while achieving a nice level of bitterness.
