They come in 375ml bra 1.8 standards LFG?

G’day John. I’ve been a kit with additions (steeping specialty grains, adjuncts etc.) brewer for a while but this and the Schwarzbier have convinced me that I should make the step up and give this method a go. I have a few questions that I was hoping you could answer: 1. Water - I usually brew with spring water. Will that work with this method or am I better off using tap water and getting into water chemistry? Or is plain tap water (Wollongong) fine? 2. Lager/hops - I’d happily brew this as is but would also like to try adapting it using different hops. I saw in another comment that German noble hops would work. If I did a straight substitute with Tettnang, with the quantities be the same (or similar)? Also, I’m a fan of Galaxy Lager (Kingsley’s passionfruit Cerveza). Could that work with this base or would it need a lighter malt base? And I’m guessing it would need a different bittering hop. Is magnum the best option? 3. I’m also keen to use this method for a stout. I’ve done a kit based coffee chocolate milk stout that I’d like to replicate. Would you be able to suggest a combination of steeping grains and dry extract? For reference, in the kit version I use 200 g dark chocolate and 200 g Carapils. The tins are BR oatmeal stout x 2 and I add 500 g dark dry malt and 250 g light dry malt. Thank you and cheers.

Just brought some Pilsner grain today. Going to try this one with the sous vide to keep mashing temp consistent Thanks little John🍺 legend 👍

Know this recipe should work with different hops. What alternatives to Pride Of Ringwood would you recommend please?

Looking forward to any content you create in 2025 Take care and keep up the excellent work.

Cheers, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.......Cheers Brett

Looking forward to your new videos in 2025. Keep well and merry Christmas.

Good brewing mate 👍

Merry Christmas!

Nice update. I've been cutting back somewhat on my brewing too, mainly because it's getting in the way of my "solo" music career. From 2016 to about 2021 I averaged between 35 and 40 brews a year. This year is 21. Next year will be 12 to 18. Glad to hear your message about traveling. It's madness here too. Pittsburgh is terrible. I can see it though my living room window. I live in a residential neighborhood on a steep hill with a 25 mph speed limit and f**king horse's-asses use our street all day long as a short-cut, flying up and down the hill with no regard. Our highways are even worse. I don't understand it. Stay safe, cheers and Merry Christmas John!

Good luck for the New Year Mate, Merry Christmas to you and you family, cheers

Stoked with the direction the channel is heading in. I switched to ldm after the twang files discovered twang in the unhopped liquid malt and I'm looking forward to more recipes in the new year 👍

I'll be hanging around as after 2 years of trying different things, ive found that partial mash / dry extract is the way to go. So bring it on 😎

I’ve been a kit & kilo brewer for years, it’s time to move on. The Noworian kits looks like the way to go,thanks for all the videos & have a good break. See you in the new year!

Really enjoy the videos and you sharing your knowledge , hoping to get into those Nowronian Kits in the New Year , must be pretty popular as quickly runs out of stock , Hope you and your family have a Happy Christmas and New Years , Look forward to your channel next year . Cheers

Thanks for all the great videos and wisdom. Happy to have you around, so take care and happy new year and happy Christmas!

looking forward to the new brewing style. Cheers 👍🍻

Cheers have a great Christmas.

I make great beer from my local hbs kit's. I like my beer better than the pub, local brewery, and local tap house. But i love your content.

As a patreon member health comes first mate take care from the u.k plus I never got my hops from mays winner lol take care mate ok merry Christmas x

Love your reviews mate, never done a black rock, will def give a go now

What pressure did you set it to after the initial six days of fermentation? Thanks for the vid 👌

Did you put the recipe in the notes LJ? I'm not seeing it. Looking forward to trying a quick brew day.

sounds like another successful brew. Cheers 😀👍🍻

Pub's open.🍺🎅👍

The fresh wort kits make very good beers but I’m like you, I want to be more hands on with my brewing ,it’s more satisfying.I enjoy your videos!

I really enjoy your honesty. I find your videos very informative which is something I'm always on the lookout for. There's always something else to learn. I've been a home brewer for 20+ years but I've only been brewing all grain for about 3 years. At some point, I'll give powdered extract a go! Thanks.

If you heat the lemon juice with sugar you will invert the sugar so you don't need to pay for Dextrose.

That's a thoughtful, challenging video LJ. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The idea of using DME rather than grain appeals big time, especially if twang is eliminated. With no chill brewing, the whole process could be even less than two hours. But, we are scientists 🙂. Just a few batches aren't proof enough. Let's all of us give this a go and share our outcomes.

Want to try making a dry extract Pilsner from dried Pilsner malt and put it up against a Pilsner FWK?

I have been brewing partial mash for awhile now. I don't have the time for all grain anymore. I am happy with my results. Thanks for the video. Cheers 😀👍🍻

Have you tried the chillie ginger beer kit hot date by hoppydays brewing supplies got some kick has dried fermented habenero powder in it pretty nice

Next time I go to Nowra I’ll get a few of these kits,looks like they make really good beers,hope it all goes well with the operation,take care!

Good luck with the operation Mate 👍.

Great video. And thanks for the shout out! It was an honor to provide you with one of my own recipes. I'm over the moon, especially knowing how well it turned out and how much you like it. Your description sounds exactly the way mine tastes. So, well done sir! I was definitely inspired by a local Schwarzbier. As for the actual sources to build the recipe, the base of Pilsner and Munich is pretty standard, but for specialty malts I checked all my brewing books and each recipe called for a different round of specialty malts. So I finally came up with my own specialty grain bill based on what I knew I could get away with. I think the Melanoidin touch came from an old episode of a podcast I listen to called BeerSmith. Ever since I found your channel in 2016, you've inspired me to keep brewing and experimenting, and to brew the best beer I can with what I have available to me in terms of equipment, ingredients and time, and I thank you for that. Cheers, Good Brewing, and Merry Christmas John!

It looks like you’re having fun in this one 🤣🤣

Pub's open.🍺

Would love to have half of your experience 👌🏼

Great video mate. Little hard to hear I microphone will help.

The Barman's sporting a new do. 🍻🍻👍.

I’ve written it down. Reckon I’ll have a go at it when I get some space in the cold box

Pubs open.🍺

I have 1 of his blondes that I will hopefully start brewing on the weekend

Nice looking beer (I watched the brew day footage too by the way). I'm fascinated by these kits. What a great concept. I wish someone would offer something like this in the US. You've probably heard me say that the vast majority of US shops no longer offer kits (tins) anymore. If you want them you have to order from the manufacturers, and freshness is a huge issue. So they're not worth it. I'd buy kits like Nowronian has in a heartbeat for when I don't have time to do a full brew day. Great video. Cheers

Looks yummy mate 🍻.

Thanks for vid mate. At the moment I’m scaling up so I can actually make more than 6 a day! 😂 Just need some custom gear to make it happen…

Do you find wb06 gives a tart taste? I prefer MJ,s M 20 yeast for wheat beer

Looks great and sounds even better! Cheers 😀🍻

I have been disappointed in "premium" kits also. If I am look8ng to brew a quick beer plain dme and hops are my goto. Thanks for the video. Cheers 👍😀🍻
