Hmpf!

An argument in MY thread actually

I charge $46 per expletive and a straight tenner per contradictory link.

ah f---!



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

$46 ? Is that GST inclusive or exclusive????

If you pay me cash, it will be $41.82 per proverbial *&(*&.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
