Gday All. I have had a pretty long break from brewing, around 2 years.....idiot i know. I am getting back into it after finally finishing some reno's and being unchained by the wife. I found a stash of hops buried in the freezer and was hoping to use them up before I restock. So a few...

Hi guys. Has been about 6 weeks since I brewed a 40 odd ltr batch. I split it and used an ale yeast (us-05) on half and a lager yeast (brew cellar european lager yeast) on the other half. The ale was great....unfortunately gone. (Isn't it funny how many mates you have when the keg is full)...

I recently made a double batch using 8 parts pilsener to 1 part caramunich. I split the batch and used us-05 for half and a packet of Brew Cellar European Lager yeast for the other. The us-05 is fermenting at 18c and the lager yeast at 12c. Not having much experience with lager yeast (only...

Have just finished fermenting my latest AG ( a slight variation of Tony's LCBA clone) and have just put it into the keg fridge to try and clear the beer up a bit and also to pre chill before going into the keg. Just prior to putting it into the fridge I added a satchet of finnings. My question...

Just about to make a version of this. Couldnt get saaz B so have gone with some northern brewer for bittering and amarillo for the later additions. Also trying to use up some caramunich so chucked that in too. 30 litre batch Caramunich .35kg Pilsener 4.5kg Vienna 1.25 Wheat...

Subject to price and pick-up location. 1 x Pils 1 x Ale Thanks

Intend to use a 350L fridge as the fermenting fridge once we buy a new one. Already have the keg fridge going but obviously having magnificent cold beer on tap takes precedent at the moment :icon_drool2: Maybe lager yeasts will have to wait for the fridge/fridgemate. Any other Ale yeasts...

Looking to make this for a house warming soon and was looking for thoughts on an alternative yeast to use as I haven't gotten around to buying a fridgemate to control fermentation temps. Wondering if anyone knows of a good alternative that can handle the slightly higher temps. Anything other...

Qbrew for me. Being a Mac user and a tight ass (it's free) made it an easy choice. Of the Mac native apps I found Beer Tools to be excellent and if I decide to buy a program that will be the one. Might just wait for the aussie dollar to make a bit of a comeback first.

Just tatsed ross' summer ale out of the keg myself and have some mixed feelings on it. Nice enough flavour and aroma but not sure that I am much of a fan of the Nelson Sauvin hops. It's bittering properties leave a bit to be desired in my opinion and may do better as a smaller addition along...

I like the sound of that Nottingham yeast as I wanted to try something without US-05 for a change. I have a spare fridge that fits my fermenter in but as I said no Fridgemate as of yet. Is it advisable to use a lager yeast and ferment the batch in the fridge if I can get a rough idea of the...

Hi guys, I am looking for an AG recipe to make the best use of some hops floating around in the back of the freezer. I have approx 20-30g of the following. Amarillo Cascade Goldings And varying amount of the following. Nelson Sauvin - 50g Saaz - 100g POR - 50g Northern Brewer - 50g No...

Thanks for the replies. Decided to just leave it be and enjoy as is. Anyone have any ideas on carbonation levels for this style of beer and what pressures to carbonate with if I use the set and leave method of keg gassing?

Quick replies on this site!...and varied advice too. lol. Do you think it will lighten the body to much considering I would be adding nearly 17% of the volume in additional water?

Mashed at around 63-64C. This was intentional as I wanted to lighten the body to make it a bit more of a session beer. Looks like if it is a session beer could be a rowdy session. :party:
