    Christmas Brew

    as far as style, american cream ales are easy to make and fast fermenters. They usually clear up nice with minimal effort. for bottles you should be look at minimum 3 weeks, cause you want to make sure you achieve the right FG, or you could end up with bombs at xmas time. If kegging, from grain...

    contaminated beer kills 75 people

    would this mean the bacteria and flour would have to be introduced after a boil? Otherwise we could assume there was no boil? I've read around some places of people throwing out advice to add flours into hefe's and similarly clouded beer. Not something I would care for personally, but does...

    Hops not doing too well

    Personally when my hops have been at that stage of growth I only use really small, but frequent (like every 3 days) doses of seasol. After about 3 weeks in the ground I start using liquid fertilizers. That bud looks like it has too much phosphorus around it, or it has been burned. You said you...

    Hop Thief 7 Clone

    I'm only a week away from trying this, all bottled up. The tasting at bottling was promising, and the colour is pretty close. I'll do a side by side next week. How is yours coming along shacked?

    First wort hopping.

    I recently brewed this: http://beersmithrecipes.com/viewrecipe/867790/munich-columbus-ipa-smash Mine was BIAB but, so as soon as I took my bag out I chucked in the hop addition. It was in there the duration of the boil. I also used smaller additions at 90 and 60 minutes. I love the effect FWH...

    Rice

    I just cook my rice like I would when I eat it, then chuck it in with the rest of the mash. Just make sure to stir and break up the clumps of rice as they coagulate a lot. Alternatively after you have cooked the rice. spread it out on a long piece of baking paper and use a fork to separate the...

    Sylva

    The cream ale I brewed wasn't a good example of Sylva, I ended up adding ella aswell and that was all I could taste. At the moment I have just poured my first glass of a 21L SMaSH using 300g of sylva at various stages after i finished the boil. I used wyeast 2565 in it and I think the yeast...

    Furphy Clone

    I heard back from Lion, owners of Little Creatures. Still wasn't happy with the recipe I had, but had a couple Furphys on tap the other day at a wedding. I am now sure that the advice of keeping it simple is key for this brew. It isn't as dark as I thought, so the colour should be close with...

    Using water from gas hot water system for water

    HWS's have a scale buildup happen in them. Mostly calcium and magnesium build up in the HWS over time. I know it causes problems internally with the elements but I don't know how much of it would be picked up and delivered to the tap.

    Pineapple Amber Ale - has anyone made one before?

    If you have a dehydrator, use it to dry the outsides of your pineapple pieces. If not, dry all of you pieces on paper towel and put them in the oven at low temp (100-120c). The aim is to get the surfaces as dry as possible, without taking all of the moisture inside. If you end up with dehydrated...
