I haven't done Ginger and Apple cider, but did do a Ginger beer. As I see it, your 3 easiest options are: ferment apple juice (as per above) and add some ginger buy an apple cider kit and add some ginger Use a ginger beer kit and add some other stuff so it is more interesting (or supplement...

I'm interested in a mill if you still have one or anything falls through.

Just me, or when you plug some of these recipes into BeerSmith, do the OG's in the software not match the recipes (or come close)?

This is why I LOVE BrewDog

Looks like I'm off to Victoria Ave then, cheers mate.

Longer than I'd thought actually. Bottled end of June. Dark as it is though i'm expecting it will only improve for some time to come.

I gave it a go with 2 packs of safbrew T58 for the yeast. Not bad, but a bit young in the bottle still to give a real good impression probably. If adding Candi I would just add in addition myself. If you were to remove something, I would substitute it for the dextrose. There are people with...

Pretty much same boat here. 23 and finishing a double degree end of next year. Actively considering ignoring those to go to some formal brewing education. Haven't even been brewing long. The idea just seems so appealing.

Totally see your point here, but there is a fair difference between a guaranteed multi-million dollar payout (and at least for now, keeping your job in some capacity) vs. having to fork out the cash to takeover another brewer. It would then have to be incorporated into your portfolio, with all...

Exactly. Don't like seeing it, but understandable. Imagine they could always start a new brewery down the track.

I had the idea to try a brew with wattle seeds or other ingredients i could scavenge locally about a month ago. No way i would have had scat on that list. Very interested to see where this goes.

I have a 3 ring burner with adjustable regulator I imagine between the regulator and ability to turn off rings I could get a reasonable degree of control?
