    Noobie’s next steps

    Oh yeah....fresh wort kits are also a great way to experiment with getting your fermentation (and sanitation!) techniques down pat.

    Noobie’s next steps

    Take your time, mate. I did 3-4 kit brews myself before experimenting with partial mashes and steeping specialty grains. Out of those, I'd say only 2 batches were drinkable. It's a great hobby once you get the hang of it, but there's no need to go into full all-grain mashing straight away. What...

    Kegarator X 4Tap Build (Will it ever happen?)

    Can you dudes all just meet up and have a battle royale to the death, Anchorman style? Winner gets sole sponsorship on AHB.

    Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

    I'll remove myself from the cube list. I won't be able to make it for this one unfortunately. Definitely need to get off my arse and brew to fill the kegs up (and to the point where I can participate in a swap again!). Picking up my offset smoker on the weekend and I'll need some beer to go...

    Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

    If I can't make it for the entire day and help out with the brew, then I'm happy to give my place to a reserve. I'll confirm shortly.

    Vic 2016 Xmas Case Swap

    Hey guys, I'm going to have to pull out of the swap. Haven't touched the brewery for a few months. I'll still chip in for a cube (payday tomorrow) and food and I'll pop in at some stage during the day.

    Keg King ROBOBREW 35L SINGLE VESSEL BREWERY

    Apologies if its already been mentioned, but has anyone had an issue with kettle caramalisation leading to perceived diacetyl? I've entered my last few batches in a few comps, and they've all been slammed for diacetly, despite me doing a D rest at the end of each fermentation, and going from...

    Merri Mashers Specialty IPA Comp 2016

    Kegged my entries last night. Was going to drop them off tomorrow at the venue, but I think I left them on the hops/trub for too long. It tastes BAD (astringent/medicinal). Reckon I should still enter them? I don't care about my entry fees, I just don't want to put the judges through having to...

    Keg King ROBOBREW 35L SINGLE VESSEL BREWERY

    I put a touch over 7Kg of grains in this the other day with 20L of strike water. It was cutting it fine. Wouldn't want to put too much more than 8Kg in this. The thing I noted was I lost out massively on efficiency. My previous brews were heaps better. I haven't done the maths, but I was...

    Adding more hop character to a kegged batch

    I brewed an IPA last month, and it's fermented out and I thought it was pretty good with the amount of late hops. I hop bursted with amarillo and chinook from 30 minutes and dry hopped with around 50g of amarillo. I think the bitterness is just right, but it probably does lack a bit of late hop...

    Your Worst/Dumbest Brewday Stuff Up...

    Absolutely. I've tipped a few batches in my time brewing. And it's always painful. It's like the 5 stages of grief: 1. Denial - It doesn't taste that bad. I mean, its drinkable....right? :mellow: 2. Anger - F&($NG Thing!!! WHY DID I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CAN AND FERMENT AT 27...
