I made a chocolate peanut butter stout a year and a half ago. It tasted weird, then after a month in the bottle started to come together, then at six weeks an infection showed through. There’s a bit on homebrewtalk about them. They tend to use PB2 and tend to agree that it takes a while for...

Rauchbier while I bottle my chocolate and peanut butter stout

It was the powder, mixed with some hot water and the cocoa added theoretically 5 min before end of boil but actually only 2 mins coz it took longer to do then I expected I've never had peanut butter in a stout but thought of it because I love chocolate and peanut butter together so looked on...

Yesterday I brewed a chocolate and peanut butter stout. Could be great, could be a mess. 76% Maris otter 6% chocolate 6% chrystal 60 6% midnight wheat 6% rolled oats 1.050 og Added 1 tin of cocoa (possibly too much) and 2 small jars of PB2 (possibly not enough) and 250g of lactose. Made 15L...

BIAB Rauchbier today. 2.5kg german smoked and 100g carafa III in a 11.5L batch. Goddamn it smelt good working with smoked malt

Sail and Anchor used to be better. Mainly the same old stuff from places like Colonial, Feral, S&A/Gage Rds, but usually good for 2-4 interesting beers from places like Anderson Valley, Mikkeller, Rogue etc. Quarie's got a better beer list than S&A now, but they're mainly bottles. Also Quarie...

I'm going to brew a 10L batch of graff this arvo and see how it goes. Saw graff on BrewingTV and it interested me. Recipe I'm planning is basically 4L wort, 6L apple juice. 500g DME (probably amber). 8g Cascade 60min (14ibu), 9g Cascade 10min (6ibu), 10g Cascade flame out. US05 yeast (Though...

Using new tasting paddle Left to right Summer-hopped saison Traditional saison Hefe (though this bottle is infected) El dorado 10 min RyePA

Oh, there's a fire near me too. I'll have to wait til it's carbed and refrigerated to find out. Brew day was a series of cock ups that resulted in a severely altered recipe, but it's definitely beer

Dent, where are you in perth that you're near the fire? I'm in Bertram, currently bottling a summer hopped saison

LHBS was out of Munich LME so I got 3kg of Rye LME and 1.5kg of Golden Light and some more El Dorado. Thought I'd change up the recipe to a RyePA 23L Volume 3.0kg Rye LME 1.5kg Golden Light LME 80g El Dorado 15.7% 10 min boil 70g El Dorado 15.7% 4 day dry hop Wyeast 1272 American Ale II...

Hey folks. Got some El Dorado from LHBS. Description looks ace so thought I'd do a 10min APA to get a good feel for its late hopping character. 25L volume 4.5kg Briess Munich LME 60g El Dorado pellets 15.7% 10min boil 40g El Dorado pellets 15.7% dry hop 3 days Wyeast 1056 if I can get my...

I think that looks good. My second brew (and either my best or 2nd best) was a cascade single hop ipa that looked very similar. I did 1.5kg Munich LME, 3kg light LME, 300g Chrystal 60, 300g dextrose. 63ibu. The malt profile was really good for an ipa I thought. If I did mine again id probably...

Don't know if anyone had a chance to try Mash's Summer Ale? Think it was called 'Wild Child'. That seemed to fit in well with the style. From memory it was somewhere between 4.5-5%, pale gold colour, good head retention, very fruity from Summer hops I think. I don't know if this is something...

I think Pacific Ale is one we can run with. Light grain bill, pale colour, good head retention. Sessionable, 4-5% abv, maybe you could go even lighter. Hop forward, majority of IBU's gained from late hopping, showcasing fruity characteristics of new Australian hop varieties such as Galaxy...
