    Whats In The Glass

    Sierra Nevada 2012 Hoptimum, I paid $26 for a four-pack. 100 IBU's they reckon. It's pretty frickin hoppy! And quite chewy too. There's a real hop spiciness that I reckon blends nicely with the alcohol warmth. It's pretty intense, loving it!

    2012 Hop Plantations

    the 'A' in AHB is for Aussie - not Alberta. Don't brag just because your grow-op comes in 6 months early(or late). How's about mowing your lawn, eh hippy?!?

    Distressing But Necessary Question......

    A good challenge indeed. You might want to start now to key in your recipe & process so you can get some great batches out for Sep...best. As for OP - definitely the Coopers Mild. Is it just me or does Coopers 62 taste like one of your forgettable homebrews? I would rather drink VB which is...

    Jao The Ultimate Beginners Mead Recipe

    I made a few of these in 2010. I just bought a 4L bottle of water and used that as the brewing water and the fermentation vessel with glad wrap and a rubber band on top - worked great! I did a side-by-side with baker's yeast and US-05. The US-05 settled out better so was easier to rack and...

    Carboy's Or Fermenting Buckets? Why Use One Over The Other? Carboy

    Plastic is porous, glass carboys are not. Air (and therefor oxygen) permeates plastic. Plastic scratches easier than glass. Bacteria like Brett- or Pedio- can live inside those scratches, or even in the pores of the plastic. So glass is easier to sanitize. Obviously there are logistical...

    What Is Everyone Brewing For Christmas?

    Wit for when it's hot, Irish Red for when it's not, IIPA because I really enjoy it and a Raspberry Trippel for dessert. Should be a very merry xmas.

    Asahi Super Dry.

    Asahi is a great beer, delicate not "watery". I really like what rice can add to a Pale Lager though I much prefer Asahi to Sapporo and I don't care for Bud at all - it's like sex on the beach. I also use an esky with braided hose as my mash tun. I make a rice lager as my house brew and when...

    Braumeister Fail

    Quite protective Silo Ted (once you read the outcome)...is that just because Grain and Grape isn't Ross at Craftbrewer...who's also a reputable, trusted dealer who enjoys a lot of online orders..? No affiliation. I have spent money with both both G&G and CB (as well as my LHBS) and have...

    Filtering - The Real Cost?

    OK I'm not going to pretend I've never plugged Fattie Boom Bah but generally I'd rather not be. I have now bent all of my keg dip tubes to draw from about 3-5cm above the keg floor. I don't like cloudy beer unless it's Wit or Weizen and even then I don't want half a glass of yeast. With any...
