I'm really getting into my malty English Bitter & ESBs. What's happening to me? I'm moving away from my hoppy IPAs towards malt driven beers, god help me - I might be drinking Stouts soon...

On a seven day course of antibiotics, which means seven days of no drinking! When did I get to the point where this is such a horrifying concept?!

Bottled one hefe & poured a cubed weisse straight onto the 3068 yeast cake. Holy crap; there was airlock action in under 5 minutes and 9 hours later there is already 12cm of krausen!

I'm noticing a few types of Gladfields malts popping up here and there. What's the verdict lads? Anyone made a nice brew with any of them?

I'm living wild and am going to brew a 10min American Pale Ale. All 120g of mixed hops added in the last ten minutes of the boil. A great way to use the last dregs of 6 packs of hops or rank stupidity? ...we'll have to wait and see.

Traded in my $7 electric scales from Kmart for a $25 electronic jewellers scale after discovering how useless the cheap scale was at weighing anything below 50g (eg. hops).

Had a foot of water all around and under the house over the weekend. My brewspace was flooded, the freezer with my little yeast bank + hops shorted out and then floated away. About half my brew gear was completely submerged. Ah well time to start over, bigger and better than before!
