Hi, After a seven year hiatus from brewing due to my relocation to Asia I’m getting started again and back on the forum. Still in Singapore but I’m now in a position to rent a landed house and can set up a little all grain home brewery here. Was pleased find there is a growing homebrew...

Grain and hops is all gone, just the bottles and misc bits and pieces to go

Hi, I'm moving over to Singapore in mid june for work and need to get rid of my brewing ingredients and a chunk of bottles as well. Pick from Helensburgh NSW for the heavier stuff, lighter stuff I can bring into Syd CBD during the week. Grain 15kg Muntons Pilsner Malt 7kg JW Wheat Malt 350g JW...

I use iBrewMaster on my iPad, took a while to add all my Beersmith recipes by hand as the import functionally is limited by it's a very well done app. The timers for additions etc are great on brew day. My only criticism is that it does not have an inventory function like Beersmith so you...

Has anyone had any colour problems with JW Pils malt. Bought a 25kg bag recently and I've just brewed a La Chouffe clone using it, 7kg + 1kg of clear candi sugar. I expected a colour of around 8 EBC, instead it looks more like a red ale, my guess would be around 26 EBC. Mash was 60mins at...

Looks like the only reasonably priced item on the entire site is the Nottingham yeast at NZD 4.20, about AUD 3.15 As for the $6k system, I think I stick to my built on the cheap AG system

I'm in after missing the last couple of NSW swaps

Between the cricket score and the crappy Sydney weather not much to be happy about :( But nothing some retail therapy can't fix, no idea what the Czech or Polish ones are like but always keen to try a new beer :D

14. Muggus - What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted (Jakes Return) NZ Imp. Brown Ale - 7.9% Bottled 19th Feb 2010 - Probably carbed by swap date, but bloody brutal! Wow, what can I say about this one, Muggus this is a brilliant beer and I am enjoying it imensly. Over the top and somewhat brutal...

IMHO bloody terrific, big bitterness upfront that then balances out as the maltiness comes thru. Biggest beer I've ever done and I'm very happy with end result. Only disappointing thing is I only ended up with 17lt and with 14 bottles going in the swap I've only got about 6 left.
