Well...as fate would have it....i'm giving brewing another chance....funnily enough, another 5 years down the track. I've just put down a pale ale on sunday. Black Rock IPA Brew booster #15 (whatever that is) finnings hops (from memory?? may have been something different) S-04 yeast Whatever...

Just checked it. It's scummed up and is bubbling from the airlock! So no problems there!

Well i'll check it when i get home, hopefully it's working. If worst comes to worst i have some safale (can't remember the number) yeast for my next brew that i could use, which will be a pale ale!

Thanks mate. Umm do you think that it's a big problem that i didn't re-hydrate the yeast before i put it in??? The temp was 13-14 deg. I just read that if you put the yeast in without re-hydrating the temp should be at least 20! Did i stuff it?

I'm currently doing a draught kit and using the S-23 yeast. Just a quick question. As this yeast ferments at a lower temp, at what temp does it die? Just curious. Thanks in advance.

The brew and grow i went to was in Edithvale on Nepean Hwy. (Close to my house). I also went to Brewcraft on Saturday to pick up some new kits, and i'd have to agree there was more range etc. It was just a matter of convenience. I'll have a look at that book aswell skippy, the more knowledge...

If it tastes like cats piss, i'll be happy to take it off you're hands! And since we're brothers, i guess i'll be drinking it anyway! haha

I've also been told that Brewcraft on Oakley is quite good. I might go there on the weekend and check it out. I've also had a bit of a seach around in the yellow pages and found a place not far from my house called Brew and Grow. Has anyone delt with them before and are they any good? I'm going...

Hi all, I've decided to try my luck with home brew, again. The first time i tried was about 5 years ago when i was 18, and lets just say it tasted like carpet. Now i have a name, Cats Piss Brewry (CPB for short) and would like to buy another kit as the other one got thrown out. The...
