Hey,
I have a fair few stubbies hanging around the garage. Haven't used them since I moved to kegging.
I'll have a count of how many I have if you're willing to drive to Ashgrove.
Cheers,

Hi Christian,
My first Ag brew was Dr. Smurto's Golden Ale and I made some similar mistakes. I wasn't paying attention and only realised at the end of the boil that I'd only boiled a couple of litres off instead of the calculated ten. I chose not to add any LDM as I was worried about the...
Hi guys,
I kegged my version of Dr. Smurto's Golden Ale last night only for my wife to try some and comment that it didn't taste anything like the last version. Much to my surprise she was right and after checking my brew notes I realised that I'd added about half as much of my 60 minute hop...
G'day guys,
I'm looking to get a Guinness surger unit. Does anyone have one of these they'd like to sell or know where I'd be able to get one?
Cheers,

The aroma and taste are definitely grassy. I'm definitely not getting a cabbage aroma which is good. After the boil I ran the beer straight into a cube and squeezed all the remaining air out before sealing the lid. I left it out overnight to cool and placed it in the fermenter the next...
Hey Cosmic Bertie,
Its definitely a drinkable brew for my mind and from what I can remember it tastes better than my kit brews did straight from the fermenter,
My garage fire resulted in melting the communal waste water pipes for our unit complex. From this Ive learnt never to leave...
Thanks for your help Pete. I was hoping to hear some responses suggesting that the beer might yet be salvaged. Ive only had one beer that Ive had to get rid of. It was a kit wheat beer that was not promising straight from the fermenter, or after two months of bottle conditioning, and then...
I just had a look inside the fermenter then Doug and the beer looks very clear. There's nothing floating on top, only a small amount of residue on the edges where it foamed up during the ferment. The aroma is only slightly off and the taste is very strong of the Amarillo hop (used for dry...
I used Safale US-05 and tonight was the first time I opened the lid (adding gelatine for clearing). I fermented at 18 degrees Celsius and most of the ferment had finished by day four.
Thanks Lemon
Ill be off to Craftbrewer tomorrow to pick up some more supplies for another Dr. Smurto recipe. Ive found the AG process really enjoyable and am looking forward to getting into the next one.
Thanks very much for your encouragement.

Thanks for your quick reply Doug.
My boil lasted for 90 mins as I entered into Beersmith however it certainly wasn't the vigorous boil that I had before I turned the outer burner off. I'll be kegging the final product, most likely tomorrow. Out of interest I've been tasting the beer every...
Hi All,
This is my first post so I'm not too sure whether I've put this in the right place or not (apologies in advance for any forum faux pas) . Firstly I'm very new to brewing and this forum has been a fantastic resource for me through my kit experiences.
I am currently on my second AG...
