Juz, you have just taken the first step on the slippery slide to making the best beer you can. JP's (I say that like I know him) How to Brew is a great reference for starting out. Read as much as you can and give it a go. If you are at this stage you won't make a bad beer. I will give you one...

Gents and Ladies sorry for the Topic Title ladies but it didn't seem right calling Gentlemen and Ladies please, unless you are in the lounge bar, and there are only a few older members that will get that reference. Anyway I have recently had a trip to Sydney and tasted (drank quite a few) 4...

I believe he/she will.

Pint Glass Man, helps to get it in-ta-ya as quick as possible, just kidding, although a yank did say to me not that long ago "the quicker its in the quicker you feel it". I think a beer with such a strong reliance on the nose requires a vessel that gives it the best possible chance to promote...

I do appreciate "what do the Pollies call it" a rigorous debate. I suppose my lead in was just to lay down my story and build the suspense. But what I actually sought was what do you use for a reference point. Manticle was the first to respond and I do hold his opinion up there with mine and...

Manticle have you been drinking that reply seems quite tame considering you went to all that bother to actually reply. I'm just glad to be back home man. Where I have been I describe as the biggest patch of kitty litter in the universe.

Been offline for sometime while I sought out the worlds problems over seas, its good to be home and brewing again. So I'm drinking my latest house crafted beer (see what I did there) it's not home brew. It's an ESB made using the recipe in Jamil's brewing classic styles. Used the ingredients as...

Sugar first and make sure you don't have the tap turned all the way on, let the beer out slowly use a bottling wand if you have it. :icon_cheers:

Who'd of thought adding this stuff to water would be so good....... :icon_drunk:

MMMMMM..... Beer slushie my favourite summer lunch. :D

As a background, whilst at the Queen Vic Markets I noticed a 330 ml bottle on the shelf of a wine merchant and seeing as how I was nice enough to drive my wife all that way into Melbourne to walk around a Market I decided to treat myself and spent $4.50 for the bottle. I have almost finished a...

Hello all, Not sure where to put this request, here looked good. I have just finished a bottle of Flensburger Pilsner and I am indeed happy with the taste. Does anybody have a partial or AG recipe for this beer?

Wait a few more days, keep checking gravity, I'm sure the beer will be drinkable. I haven't made one yet that wasn't drinkable. I have been known to drink some crap beer though.

MMMMMM Mead now I want to track down the my local apiarist and steal all his honey and put it to good use.

I agree with Jazzafish stay away from bottles covered in mould.
