Rauchbier
Hi
I have recently purchased a Brupak Rauchbier mashing kit (cheers Greg) and shall attepmt it for my 2nd AG this weekend. The only problem is that the instructions doest instruct on Hop quantities start & finish.
Should I just dump them all in at the start or maybe take out 10%ish of the hops and 10min boil them???
Any advice is much appreciated

Hi Gazz, I've just spoken to Clive at Brupaks and all hops go in at the beginning.

Rauchbier is a bit of an acquired taste, I like it but one or two of my mates are undecided. Would be interested to know how your brew compares to Schlenkerla Maerzen or perhaps Goeller Rauch.
Wouldn't mind a crack at brewing some myself, just need to build the brewery.
I was going to document my brewery build but thought better of it. As its a DIY affair, not sure Greg would approve?

Dont ever be embarrassed by what you do to achieve the required result,how about using thin aluminium sheet to cover the two rolls on a ringer from an old washing machine to crush malt cos here in nz they only sell it uncrushed!just do it

Otter, love the sound of the mangle crushing the malt! True initiative. My brother resorted to a coffee grinder in Sweden! Thank the Gods for crushed malt - or Warminster Maltings!
