So... This got out of hand quick... haha OK... You want more info: My fermenter is currently in the laundry sitting at approximately 20*C fairly consistantly. My take on my favorite beers: Carlton dry - easy drinking in any weather, not exactly dry finish in comparison to others, tasty, 10x...

Hey guys, I have brewed a few brews now. European lager (coopers) - quite nice, esspecially around the 2 month mark Ceveza (coopers) - Nice at first, got sick of it later, bit sweet Draught (Thomas Coopers + can of malt) - getting better, but a bit flat - still had the taste...

Hey guys, I have just found out about this dry enzyme thing. I have always loved low carb beers, for there finishing notes. The extra crisp dry finish of Tooheys new white stag and hahn superdry, to name a couple, is really what I enjoy. I also find, low carb beer doesnt bloat you as much as...

Hey guys, 3rd post in an hour haha. I just ate a coopers bottle carbonation drop. Thats right... Like a lolly. And it was nice... but it got me to thinking... Has anyone thought of replacing the carbonation drop with a barley sugar? I know this might sound crazy... but i thought of barley...

Haha... Thanks very much... Yeah well, ive only just started, and havent even got a brew out yet. I completely messed up the first one... I added the 2L of boiling water to the syrup, and then added the water to the 20 ltr mark, then rememberd the BE2 and added that furiously stiring, and then...

Hey guys, I'm new to brewing, but have been around it plenty. I was recently given what everyone dreams of. A 60L fermenter Hydrometer Airlock bottle caps bench top leaver down capper La'avienorre de papa (bottle wrinser) and about 120 king brown bottles. All this for a pretty low price of...
