Hey guys, I was recently in Berlin and ended up at a German restaurant and tasted one of my favorite beers from my whole trip. The brew was called Thaddaeus Bru and I am pretty keen to try my hand at reproducing it over here. So for a longshot.... has anyone out there sampled this beer and for...

I recently returned from a four month trip through Europe and have decided to share by Belgium Trappist beer experience with my friends by brewing a Chimay Blue clone or similar. Has anyone brewed anything like this with success? As I don't have an all grain setup I am planning on steeping some...

I went to one of these places near my house not long ago and looks to be exactly the same setup in this photo. However they dont brew AG, I think you will find they use partials. With that being said these places make brewing so easy; they have all of the ingredients, water is boiling when you...

Hey guys, just a quick question. I've had a few bottles that have been aging in the fridge and now I need the room since I'm having a few people over. Is it okay to return these bottles to room temperature again? Will anything bad happen to them. Thanks guys.

I would say it is Australia wide since it is on the website, I missed it myself the first time around. Here is the link: http://www.kmart.com.au/catalogue/20070829...p?PageNumber=34

I was going to start a set of labels for my brews this week until I came across this. As a Lost fan I couldn't help myself looks like these are going to grace my bottles from now on after I make a few alterations to the label. I attached the link to a pdf of the labels down the bottom of this...

Don't know if it's been posted before but how about a 220L fermenter??? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/220-LITRE-GREY-RAIN...1QQcmdZViewItem

Ok just checked SG, seems it did the sneaky ferment on me 1.008. I will try pitching the slurry and see what happens. Jye, since I'm using K&K recipe I plan to start with a regular SG brew then step up the fermentables as the yeast adjusts. Just means I wont be able to get an accurate starting...

I was going to make multiple starters from this one but I think I might leave it for this time, so what are the chances of this starting up again when I pitch it. I was a bit worried since it is a high gravity beer and I don't want to shock the yeast too much (even though the 3787 is supposed to...

Hey guys, got my starter going on the weekend with 100mls of LME. Pitched the yeast (Wyeast 3787) and after 4 days this is what it looks like. It hasn't changed much since the second day. Its not exactly the same amount of fermentation activity I'm used to, do you guys think its okay? I mixed...

Yeah I saw some at Slacks Creek, shame the stuff was frozen solid otherwise I would have bought some. In the past I have purchased my liquid yeast from G&G and have been nothing but pleased with their service. I just wouldn't mind the reassurance of purchasing it myself especially with summer...

Hey guys was wondering if there was any home brew shops in Brisbane that stock Wyeast Products. Hopefully buying it up here will bypass the risk of mail ordering. I had a look on the Wyeast website for a distributer in Brisbane and it came up with this place. E. Robertson Brewing Co...
