I haven't brewed that one. I have brewed several from his book with success using black patent. Have you tried contacting Mr. Pattinson? He has been prompt when I have contacted him with questions.
Hope this helps.

Beer Recipes / Re: Thinking about trying my first Lager....
« on: July 20, 2016, 11:02:49 AM »+1. I think lagers are amazing beers and an under appreciated style. When done right, they are very satisfying. I think you made an excellent choice with your first lager. God speed on this new adventure!I like the idea of the floor malted pils but you don't need any of that other malt. You will find recipes with other grains in them but I think they are unnecessary.
IBUs should be around 35-40.
Needs a lot more hops in the late boil. Should look closer to around an ounce at fifteen or twenty minutes and another ounce at flameout.
Czech pils also needs a soft water. Look at RO water with a small calcium addition if water chemistry is not something you are familiar with.
Good advice.

All Things Food / Re: Crock Pot
« on: June 28, 2016, 12:39:11 PM »
I enjoy my crock pot. I love to make soups and stews with it in the winter time.
I also make my own poultry stock (using turkey and chicken bones) and beef stock (using beef marrow bones). Coming home to a home-made chicken noodle soup, or a beef-vegetable soup and a good home brew is heavenly. I like a porter with the beef-vegetable soup and a amber ale with the chicken noodle soup.

Yeast and Fermentation / Possible Infection?
« on: June 26, 2016, 12:52:26 PM »
So I brewed 1933 Lees' Export recently. The recipe is from Ron Pattinson book, "The Home Brewer's Guide to Vinatge Beer". When I was cooling the wort, I accidentally dropped a piece of ice from the ice bag into it. The temperature of the wort was 120 degrees. Do I have anything to worry about? Thanks in advance for your comments. It is very much appreciated.
