Hi,

Has anyone tried a Styrian Goldings (Bobek 3.6 AA) SMASH or any thoughts on if it would make a good beer?

Seems quite a lot of difference to what's been said in the water treatment page on here.

either check out the water treatment pages on this forum, or any internet search engine will throw up a load of results - alemans guide on the craftbrewing forum especially. that'll get you in the ballpark, any more exact will involve a pH meter and trial and error as you brew. Google is telling me...

Hi, Where can I find out what alkalinity I should be aiming for with a particular beer style or colour? I've been playing around with Grahams calculator which I find very useful but although it gives a guide on how much AMS to add I have no idea what I should be aiming for. Is this the residual alka...

What about Titanic Lifeboat Ale from Graham Wheelers book page 146 of the 1998 edition? I am brewing that one next. Thanks, any more details on this as I don't have the book? I would if someone can tell me how to simply export the details from Beersmith in a form that can be shown on this forum. Th...

Good suggestions lads, looking to brew after this weekend. Just to be clear the reason I'm only looking for known good recipes with Fuggles & EKG is I haven't had much luck so far with my all grain brews, starting to loose the will so just want to use up what ingredients I already have before buying...

A lot of of the traditional British beers you would be able to think of use some combination of those hops. Try using Fuggles to bitter, Goldings for later additions and perhaps a small dry hop, again with Goldings. The following isn't a tested recipe but should give a start. For 22 litres, 70% eff...

maris otter, some crystal 60L, torrified wheat, OG 1048, 37 IBUS, English yeast and you have a nice pint using those two hops!! you cant fail!! cheers Thanks, that's the kind of thing I was looking for, probably give this & an EKG smash a go. Any more details on the recipe, I need known good ones a...

I can't believe you haven't been able to find a single tried and tested recipe for an english bitter with fuggels and goldings.. ? .. i mean, there's a couple in this thread already.. ! Sarcasm is just wasted on some people! #-o Not wasted on me, I was pretty sure they work together but couldn't fi...

trust me brew up a couple of smash brews with MO and a target gravity circa 1036-1040 with a medium bitterness and as much late hopping as tickles your fancy, the results will be a couple of crisp golden ales that will quench a summer afternoons thirst without banging your head into the lawn too ea...

Is that a no then, always thought they worked well together in English bitters?

Should have said, pretty much anything that's not black would be good.
