    Nsw Amateur Brewing Competition

    While I was composing a post I notice that Shawn has beat me to it. Volunteer organisations rely on people to put their hand up and do work. I want to express my appreciation to all the HUB team, Mort, Graheme, Kelly, Barry and to Dave in particular for their time & hard work over the...

    Citrus Taste

    I find wheat malt gives beer a lemony flavour. If you don't like it perhaps cut the wheat down in your recipe. K.

    Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew (paperback)

    Rod, I think it's a great buy. My advice is don't underestimate the text that talks about how to brew the style; in the space of a couple of sentences the points that get mentioned are sopt on the money (imho). Keith

    Porter Recipe - Light Chocolate Malt?

    Pale chocolate will be fine, gives less coffee and more choc character, use it with some crystal. Yum, yum, yum.

    Aabc And Subordinate State Competition Rules

    Bonj, I think these are just lines in the sand. Why should all-grain brewers be allowed to use malt they have purchased rather than malted themselves; perhaps they should have grown their own barley and harvested it themselves. The yeast likewise shouldn't come from a packet - where's the...

    Potters Brewery

    Thanks for the kind words fellas. The renos in the brewery are done, well almost done, we have few kinks to sort out, but it is all coming together. If you do the facebook thing you can see some pics at http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Hunte...168789896471092 Afraid the ESB all got drunk...

    Potters Brewery

    Chopdog, in the brewery we are on to the last keg of a tasty ESB and we also have some of our Little Hopmonster, a mid strength IPA brewed with hops grown on site and a funky malt bill. With our goal of sharing the love, we also have two guest beers. Murray's Nirvana, a very spritzy clean...

    Can Anyone Help Me? 12months Of Crap Beer!

    This advice is perhaps a little redundant in your situation, cause it seems very likely you have an infection issue, but... One thing you could try is collecting some of your wort in a sterile container, you can buy them pretty cheaply at your local chemist. Just put the lid on and let it sit...

    Can Anyone Help Me? 12months Of Crap Beer!

    Dan, you have already tried some of the stuff I would have suggested. Maybe your water is the source of the infection (or a tap or something in-line). Maybe try using packaged water from the supermarket. (Maybe also try brewing in a different location. Sometimes bugs get going in a location...

    Hunter Valley Chocolate Chili Porter

    Mr Muggus, Shouldn't you be too busy pickin' grapes and stuff? The friendly crew at the taphouse asked us to hold off serving the beer elsewhere for a couple of weeks. We will put it on tap Sun 27th Feb for drinks with the Brewer and leave it on tap till we run out. Cheers, Keith

    Hunter Valley Chocolate Chili Porter

    Brend0, We have given it a crack ;) We used chilli oil made from smokin' hot chillis, Dorset Nagas. 6mls of oil to 600L of robust porter. The porter had a good whack of Chocolate malt, the goal was to give a dark bitter chocolate flavour to the beer. We were worried about killing the head...
