As a terrible brewer who only just kegged a beer for the first time a couple of weeks ago this is incredibly helpful.

I really miss Barleyman

Pretty sure it was Joe White Crystal which google is showing me 120-270 EBC I think we were mainly just worried that the only thing a lager yeast would add to a beer like this is under attenuation. As in it doesn't really bring anything really beneficial to the beer itself. That being said it...

I was fortunate enough to be involved on a collaboration brew with Brendan from Brisbane Brewing Co. and The Scratch Bar for their Arrested Development art show last weekend. I came up with a recipe for a red rye IPA but we decided to pitch a lager yeast to fit the beer's name of Ry've Made A...

Or you could duck down to Surry Hills *shameless self promotion* http://craftypint.com/news/1246/Crafty_Crawls_Surry_Hills

I cracked a couple of bottles of this on the weekend. The first was infected which was fairly unpleasant. I didn't have enough newer bottles to go around so I had to bottle a few in bottles that I've had for a couple of years so I think it's time they were retired. in any event, the second...

Update on the triple IPA. If you spot it somewhere I highly recommend making the trip to grab some. It's incredible. It's wonderfully dry and drinkable for a 10% 150IBU beer. Pretty masterful brewing really.

Anyone had any issues with the original controller? Mine read 23 when I started heating up the mash water and only made it's way up to 26 when my thermometer is reading 66.

Friends, I sat down with Dave Padden, formally of Riverside and now at Akasha Brewing over a couple of beers and asking him a whole bunch of questions about brewing etc. http://www.brewedcrudeandbitter.com/blog/2016/4/6/brewed-crude-interviews-vol-one-dave-padden-akasha-brewing-company I wish...

Only managed to get around to bottling it a couple of weeks ago so I'm tempted to open a bottle this weekend to see how it is. Initially it was very bitter and had a relatively unpleasant oily mouthfeel but just before bottling it seemed to have mellowed out significantly and seemed fine. i...

Well it was an absolute ******* nightmare but I managed to brew this monstrosity yesterday. I didn't grind up the cereal thinking that the sparge was going to be bad enough as it is and I thought the cereal would just disintegrate anyway (and it sure did). The sparge was horrific. I ended up...

I've got a grainfather and although I haven't had any sparging issues before I've never brewed anything like this. I'm pretty sold on the Milo cereal even though I doubt the flavour will come through very much given that this beer looks to be pretty big already.

This recipe is around 25% oats. I feel like that's going to cause me a bit of grief for sparging...

I also found this article: https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/484-confessions-of-a-cereal-brewer I think I should be ok without an initial boiling step of the cereal given that it's mostly wheat and I'm fairly confident that whatever processing the corn portion of the cereal has been though...

Ahh yep that's the article! Thanks cobber.
