    Brew-pub woes in Melbourne

    The primary purpose of councils and the public disservice is to remain in employment by making work for itself. The permit was never up for approval on the first application, thus complying with my view of their method to maintain themselves and their funding. Your views may vary, and with...

    wide eyed and legless is correct. I'd suggest trying aussiedistiller or homedistiller forums, such as Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew • Index page

    Brisbane Water Chemistry

    I've also been interested in these data, ( I live in The Gap, so would probably be on a different reservoir than yours) and have studied their website. I don't think it gives us the full picture of what we are looking for. When I lived in Port Macquarie I wrote to the Council and requested...

    Step Mashing Timing - when to start counting?

    Yep, but not quite always. Maybe on the newer single vessel brewing systems you can't do what I do and you are dependent on what the system can deliver. On my old fashioned 3 vessel system, I need to heat my strike water to 5ºC more than the temperature I want. Thus, I heat my water to 60ºC...

    First time brewing need help

    I do it at the start of my bottling session. When drained I prime them all, then fill, then cap.

    Belgian / German Wheat Beer

    Contrary to your suggestion, I have not quoted wiki, nor plagiarised anything. I've brewed both styles and my post was from my personal experience of brewing these. Nuff said.

    Belgian / German Wheat Beer

    Maybe you are confusing or mixing two distinct styles of wheat beer. Bitter Curacao orange zest and coriander are generally used in Belgian Wheat beers, such as Hoegaarden. It also incorporated raw wheat as an ingrediant. German, or Bavarian wheat beers are usually quite simple, mostly malted...

    First time brewing need help

    I've only ever bottled in 16 years of brewing. The only bottles I use are Coopers longnecks. Once empty I simply swirl a little cold tap water to rinse it, and repeat that 3 or 4 times. Then simply drain it upside down. I store them in a crate, on their sides. Before use I swirl a little Brewman...

    I'm back (back in the New York groove)

    Nothing's changed for me, but I've been brewing on the same budget 3V system since 2007. Some things have changed, for the better of more confusion, lots more hops varieties and yeasts available, and also lots of new brewing equipment such as all in one systems etc. No way will I go pro. I'm...

    Country Brewer Kits

    Before I fully reconstructed my brewery after an interstate move, I recently used a can of Wal's Admiral Ale, but added some extra Fuggles hops. Used the kit yeast, and additionally a packet of Lallemand Windsor dry yeast. I don't like underpitching. Turned out quite OK, and drinks nicely, but...
