Mottley Brew?
Or you could piggy bank one of your mates orders to one of the culchie HB stores.

I've seen it in holistic stores before but they were charging primo prices for it. Might be worth a shot.

culchie HB stores.

Cheek from a Corkman!! Nothing new there.

Just on stout ingredients, molasses is another one, I couldn't find it in Dunnes or Lidl/Aldi either.  Holland & Barrett have 720g for 3.99 which would be perfect for the recipes I'm looking at, just curious if others have found it elsewhere?

Just an edit to let ye know about coconut and molasses prices, the 740g of molasses was E3.99 in Holland and Barrett, but their cocoa nibs are E11.49 for 300g :-0!

I also got 1kg of jagharee which is an Indian made product described as 'thickened molasses', this was on Moore St., 500g of desiccated coconut was E2.95 in the Asia Market on Drury St .

No sign of lactose anywhere.

Lactose:  You can get a 250g bag for around 5euro on Amazon if your home brew supplier has a minimum charge on p&p

Otherwise if you are the adventurous type with infinite resources and time you could make it yourself: https://infohost.nmt.edu/~jaltig/Lactose.pdf (subject to lab availability).

Or just use milk, vinegar, vodka and some kitchen pots....though the quality of your product may be questionable 

Regarding an Irish Clone book, I think it's a great idea despite only recently getting into the idea of brewing clones.  Would love the recipe to Hilden's Barny's Brew.

Actually, I have a question here - what is "organic chocolate powder". Is it cocoa or a drinking powder like Green and Blacks...

[Bubbles]

Cocoa, I'd say.. drinking chocolate would be sweetened, and no mentioned on the podcast about the chocolate powder contributing fermentables. Drinking chocolate would have more crap in it. Fats in the form of cocoa butter and so on..

[molc]

Cheers. Sure I'll give cocoa a go anyway and see how it works out

[molc]

So, I had another of these in the pub the last night and I had forgotten how sweet it is. I wonder how to tweak the recipe to go more in the O'Hara's Leann Folláin direction... Answers on a postcard?

[Qs]

Drop the lactose.

[molc]

Hehe, a very fair point

Its green & blacks in Buried At Sea. One jar into 2000 litres.

Interesting. The recipe above is suggesting 300gm to 20L, which isn't consistent a jar to 2000L. Oh well, experimentation has its rewards

[Hop Bomb]

Im a brewer at Galway Bay & have brewed this a few times now. Its 1 full jar into 2000 litres. It was 4am & we all worked a 12 hour shift before that interview so easy make a mistake when trying to break down a 2000 litre recipe to 19 litres.

[molc]

Oh , I wasn't being pointy. I actually assumed that the original recipe was wrong, not what you said about adding a jar. Applying the same scaling, that means the 19L version only needs about 5gm as I understand it.

Thanks for all the feedback; it's greatly appreciated. It's great to be able to get some insight from the brewers on the recipes.
