Thanks mate :) the little tricks make things a lot easier.

Cheers mate, I think our keg of black forest stout will be kicked over the next week so I think it's time to brew a choc vanilla porter

Thats awesome! Having a kegging setup at home is a total game changer. There is a brewing Channel on KZfaq called the homebrew network I basically learnt everything off his videos. I highly reccomend checking them out, and we will be releasing a lot more brewing content over the coming weeks

Cheers mate! Let us know how it goes, I find the coconut Intensity increases as time goes on.

Good question, I have used it 3 times now without the woody taste but I have always split with another hop. I reckon using just over half a pound in the boil / dry hop will give you good flavours without the wood.

@@jackeladventures1419 awesome! Thanks for the advice.

Hey thanks :) I found that I was getting too much grains escaping my hop basket and making their way to the bottom of the vessel. Which produces tannins when boiling grain so to avoid this I use the bag which catches all the rouge grains.

@@jackeladventures1419 After you did the Mashout, you lifted the malt pipe up and placed it on the hooks for sparging. What did you do with the nylon bag? You said that it trapped the powder from the crush as well, where did you get the grain bag and how difficult was it to clean the bag? Lastly, did you use both the fine mesh filter along with the bottom filter in the malt pipe? Cheers!

Hi mate, the program is called beersmith 3. Can be a bit clunky to use, I find most people use brewfather now.

Cheers :) will do
