    MillMaster v MaltZilla Mills

    I bought a mill motor from Keg King. It’s a lot better than using the drill I started off trying. It has a lot more torque than a drill so it powers through the tough stuff like wheat. The motor connects straight into the mill, so it was easy to setup. Don’t remember the cost.

    2023 Hunter Homebrew Comp - 24 June

    Another great competition day by HUB. Has got to be the biggest prize pool of any comp in Australia. So well run this year and a great day to be involved with, and so many terrific people to share beer with. Stoked to win Champion Brewer. I can't believe it. Thanks to everyone.

    Do we get any feedback from our beers in the AABC?

    2022 NSW State AABC Comp

    Yes I suspected I was a bit early. However the website did say they’ve received a couple of hundred entries already with limited places left. Which had me asking the question.

    Has anyone been able to register for the competition yet? I can’t find a register link anywhere.

    2022 Hunter Homebrew Comp - 4th June 2022

    The comp day was great. Over 160 beers were judged, so a very busy day for the judges and stewards. It was a lot of fun again and a great chance to try a lot of different beers. The scores seemed quite a bit lower this year than last year even though I thought the standard was pretty high. The...

    2022 Hunter Homebrew Comp - 4th June 2022

    When I dropped my beers off a few days ago, they were over 100 entries so far. So it’s a bigger comp than last year.

    Regarding cold side oxidation, how long a beer can stay on yeast, and other questions

    My first beers in comps had descriptions of oxidation recorded by the judges. As a new brewer I couldn’t see how everyone’s beers weren’t oxidised given how things are done on a homebrew scale. I set about changing how I did everything post fermentation through to bottling and it’s made a big...

    2022 Hunter Homebrew Comp - 4th June 2022

    Tripel Karmeliet is my favourite Tripel. I haven’t brewed one yet. I like my big, hoppy IIPA’s. The one I entered last year was my very first all grain beer. It was past its best at judging time. Didn’t stop Mark scoring it very highly though. 😁 I learnt a lot from that beer. I do everything...

    What type of Belgians are you entering? Belgians are my favourite to brew and drink. Especially the Dark Strong Ales. I’ve got a La Trappe quad clone that’s got a year of bottle age, and also a Rochefort 10 clone I’ll be entering.

    2022 Hunter Homebrew Comp - 4th June 2022

    No courage required. At worst you’ll get some great feedback from the judges to help improve your beer. I got a couple of tips from last year I’ve used ever since. At best you might win something. I won a bunch of different stuff for my RIS last year which I wasn’t expecting. So you might be...
