Thanks for that. I found some directions from Weissguy while I was digging around the other day and he pretty much says the same, so two beer gods offering the same advice is good enough for me! :party: I'll check out the yeast situation. I put down a Coopers Pale on Saturday so the Dunkle...

Ok, some time ago I did a kit and kilo dunkle that turned out a treat. I was going to do it again but my brew notes were apparently not very good and I didn't keep notes on steeping, sparging and hops (you know, the small stuff! <_< . Hence I seek the sage guidance of the list. The brew was...

Good to see this thread is long lived and full of good info. I've been scratching around for all the bits for a party keg system (wish I'd seen the plastic keg idea before buying my mini keg!) and the Ozito kit suits my needs quite nicely, it will also be handy for other uses such as...

Recently stuffed up a wheat beer and it looks to be close to 2.6 - 3% (I was aiming a bit higher ;-). <_< I used the Muntons Wheat Beer kit and 1kg Cooper Wheat Malt Extract. Result was an OG of 1024 with FG of 1010. Should have used more malt extract me thinks. Brew is currently in...

Hi Mika, The brew was well mixed with the can and malt going into well mixed hot water. Meh, just checked it this morning and the SG is at 1010 so getting close to secondary time. Gave it a good stir up and will check it again in a day or so... Cheers! Mullet Who has mostly recovered from the...

Indeed, Mary Catch the Bus and a Happy New Beer to all. Time for a (damn cold) BBQ seafood breakfast, global warming my backside! Then we head to a mates place and imbibe Das Crippler... :beer: :party:

Thanks Mika, was looking for a slightly higher kit. But I guess if it tastes right all should be good...

Total of 21L and measured the SG at 26 degrees. The says 1040 to 1044 so I was a bit stunned with 1026!

Possibly a bit late for you but I made the following brew using a recipe from Doc. Do a search for "Crippler" on this website. Anywho, I dropped a bottle of this off to Col at BYOAH today so I'm expecting a good critique after Christmas (that being, good and thorough, not all smiles and pats on...

All, today I put down a Muntons Wheat Beer kit with 1kg of Morgans Wheat Malt extract. This has resulted in a OG of only 1026/8 which is extremely low. Any suggestions? I have 11g of K96 yeast in there so I want to give it some work to do. Can I add more fermentables? If so, any suggestions...

I decided to give Docs recipe a go, off to BYOAH I went to have a chat. What I have in the fermenter at the moment is; Muntons Nut Brown Ale kit Black Fern unHopped Wheat Malt 500g Coopers Amber Malt 500gr LDME 1kg Morgans Unhopped Extra Pale Malt Extract 1.5kg Belgian Candy Sugar 500gr 10gr...

Thanks Lochy, I reckon I'll be making a few trips back to Canberra every so often so I can always stock up at BYOAH (assuming it survives). Cheers!

Well, it appears I am to be sent packing to Wagga for the next two years come Christmas. How is the homebrew scene there? Supplies easy to come by? I am only fairly new so am only doing kits and partials... Cheers! :unsure: Mullet

Thanks for that. I knew they had different meanings to the same acronyms at work. DME has a very different meaning at work! :huh: ;) Cheers!

Hi All, I have just recently stepped into the world of home brewing. Sampled my first brew last night and seeing as I am still alive and can see normally I thought I'd give another brew a go. :chug: Last night one of my mates suggested a dark wheat beer. Anyone have a kit recipe for one...
