Thanks to everyone that has posted their recipes here, i hope that you/we have helped some new brewers find a few quality recipes to get them started! I will certainly be trying each one posted! And thanks for the additioonal tips Fourstar, really love the beer. Cheers :icon_cheers:

I have been brewing for a few months now with great success (IMHO), much of which is due to the help from a mate that already brews. We have both enjoyed recipes posted on this site, most of which were not listed in the "extract recipe" section but were found from reading various forums and...

New to brewing, curently I prefer to filter my beer using liver and kidneys, at this stage havn't thought of an external model? :D No doubt, one day i will joing your ranks and filter as well, prob if kegs come into play... Have fun with your, clear future!

Thanks for that, there could still be some strength to their argument (ignoring the thin/watery beer momentarily) that is; Low carb beer + full strength alcohol, could/would be less than, normal carb beer + full alcohol? But hey, if it can only be done by producing thin/watery crap, who cares...

Whats the go with the hyp of lower carb beer made by Tooheys (White Stag)? They claim it is fermented longer to eat more sugars (which sort of makes sence), but dont you wait until the yeast has finished eating the sugars in the fermenter before it is bottled anyway? Is this like the Carlton...

Everything is the same, it comes from the same kettle, yet we occasionally have found...

Cheers, thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

$100 worth of free advice required please... New to (extract) brewing, the gear used in our first few brews was crude; however we liked the beer that we had made. Our first brews had an awesome aroma and flavour, however more recent brews have increased bitterness and less aroma? Recently we...

Thanks Guys for your words of wisdom, looks like I'll be sitting tight (keeping the temp up) and things should work out fine for my first brew! By the way i used the safale US-05 yeast. Thanks again, cheers! Matt

New to brewing and it shows! I finally put down my first brew, everything was looking good, fermenter had stopped bubbling, SG constant for three days, so i bottled the brew. Once bottled I put them back into the old cartons, and placed them back into the fridge that i used to control the temp...
