    Out by oral.

    From nine news sports page. Didn't know batsmen could get out this way. "Aussie opener Cameron Bancroft's tough summer continued after he was dismissed for a suck, while England had a sniff at 2-86 when his opening partner David Warner (56) fell to a nice ball from James Anderson."...

    Sugar in a wheat beer ?

    So.....after mashing too high, and going over intended volume, i have a beer which has finished at 1016 (OG 1044). Looks like i've made beer flavoured soft drink at around 3.6% ABV! Would adding 200g of sugar be a good idea? Bump up the ABV and thin it out a tad? This my first wheat beer, Les's...

    hop haze

    Hi all, I sometimes get a crazy amount of hop haze in my brews which have been dry hopped. I expect a bit of haze with dry hopping but not this much. So i am wondering if people have had more success with steeping their hops to avoid the haze. Could it be related to my...

    St peters ruby red ale

    Been looking for an AG recipe for with no success. Anyone made a decent clone that they would care to share the recipe for? One of my favorite beers but at $8 a 500 ml bottle, it's way to expensive to buy many for my limited beer budget.

    Hi all, Just about to give this all grain bit a go after 24 odd years of kits and extract brews. Now, I am confident I can work out water, gain ect. But my issue is that I have 1 pot that holds 20 ltrs. Should I split the ingredients and do 2 mashes and boils or mash once then sparge? I can...

    Amusing nicknames for the other half

    Hi all, Wondering what nicknames you guys have for the special woman/man in your lives. A couple I have for my wife are "Tina - Worrier Princess". And " Running Bear With Eagle Eye " as she will spot anything shiny at a range of at least 500 mtrs and move surprisingly quickly to obtain said...

    Stay down ya ******* !

    How do you guys keep your hop bags from floating? I have tried putting various heavy odds n sods in my hop bag . It sinks but then comes back to the top within an hour or so. For years I just threw them into the brew loose but have noticed that some varieties leave an intense grassy flavour when...

    Red Trolley Ale-Anchovies

    Just tried a Red Trolley Ale for the first time. **** me if it doesn't smell of Anchovies. Just finished a Sierra Navada P A. So thought it was just me. Let the Missus have a whiff (without letting her know my opinion) and asked what she thought it smelled like. "Anchovies" says the Little Big...

    high temp yeasts ?

    With the warm weather just around the corner does anyone have suggestions on using a yeast that will produce a decent beer with the higher temps. The old evaporation method of cooling does not work well up here in summer as the air is already so full of moisture. Don't have a spare fridge...

    the point of secondary ?

    After looking through a lot of forums/articles/blogs on the need for secondary fermentation ,or, the pointlessness of secondary. I am still a bit confused. Brewers claim leaving the brew on the yeast cake for a couple of weeks/months will ensure the yeast reabsorbs off flavours and secondary is...
