Does any body have a recipe or know of a good attempt at this beer, it is yummo and I have not been able to get in the ball park with my attempts. I have not gleaned any info from anywhere and am probably being a little lazy but hoping someone has done some work and can help.

Heading to Port this weekend with the family and in-laws to watch SWMBO's brothers in the Ironman. We are staying at Lake Cathie and I'm hoping some locals may be able to advise good spots for eats and drinks. i.e Pizza/Italian for Friday take away. Heading to Timbertown on Saturday with...

Just received an e-mail from Hops Direct in the good 'ol US of A, new season crops are all picked and Amarillo pellets will be released 1st November. The wait is almost over. Apparently the growing season wasn't the best, a bit dry and hotter than normal but they are happy with the crop.

Brewed up a lager on Sunday and due to faffing about with SWMB helped to do all sorts of shit whilst I am trying to brew.....the brew did not go to plan. Mash went fine, boil not so much. In the carry on I did not check on the time of me pre-hop boil....should have been about50 minutes(no...

I know this beer has not received a lot of glowing support, but recently I discovered by necessity....only beer in cc'ing fridge, hot day....that this is a mighty fine drop when served very cold and one is quite parched. Anyway, does anybody have any ideas on recipe formulation for this, or has...

I have made some changes to my planned brewing schedule.. :o ...and I have got to the stage of doing my first wheat, which was planned to be 55/45 with Pilsener malt, but now the only Base I have of enough quantity is Golden Promise. Im keen to give it a crack, I need to stock up some summer...

I picked up a 20 litre cube/drum from work that had contained sodium hypochlorite, drum is great size for putting into my fridge without having to take a heap of stuff at to ferment. The lid has lug type insert with 2 holes on the underside and a small hole in the lid, it looks to me like it...

Put down a porter on Tuesday and only just realised that I used twice as much hops as needed......was doing 2 half batches but used full amount of hops. Original IBU was meant to be 40, now gonna be 80. How bitter will this brew be, will it be too bitter or might it be drinkable? What...

Im looking at upsizing to a 40 litre stockpot for BIAB, I currently use a 19 litre pot on an old stove in the garage but theres no way it will puch a bigger pot to a rolling boil. I have found 2 ring burners, 20mj on E-Bay, will it be enough for 40 litre pot.

I am looking to add some vanilla to my next batch but am unsure when is the best time to add it my brew. I will be using whole beans and thinking of either putting the split bean into the mash..not sure if this will extract enough from the bean.... or to boil it in a litre of water and add...
