    U Brew It

    Pure ignorance I think, they were just following recipes, but were taking no measurements, they wouldn't have had a clue what they were getting. Wrong on so many levels, legally & morally.

    U Brew It

    When we took over a similar operation here in Brisbane, the previous owners brews were all coming in at approx 2% less than advertised. Next time you do a brew there, request to see the starting gravity & finishing gravity, If they can't do that for you, they probably don't have a clue. the...

    How to transform good wort into **** beer. Rehydrate pitch dried yeast

    Absolutely nothing wrong with dried yeast, definitely sounds like a process problem & most likely contamination. Can probably sort it over a phone call, so feel free to give me a call at CraftBrewer on 07 3823 5252 Cheers Ross

    Rainwater? Good or bad

    Maybe you like drinking infected beer, but I consider microbial hazards well worth worrying about!!! Anyone on a tank water, should already have carbon filters etc to ensure the drinkabillity of the water, & as I said, the quality of tank water can vary considerably with the only real test...

    Rainwater? Good or bad

    Ghizo, There's some good advice amongst the chaff here... Quite simply, tank water needs to be boiled or treated to kill any bacteria present. If you are grain brewing, this happens in the process, but if you're kit brewing, which I assume you are with where this question was posted, you'll...

    What's the best keg set up for Real Ale (with out a beer engine)?

    No, just a gas diptube to replace the beer one. Cheap & easy.

    Why are my brews so dark and stormy?

    Jeez guys, i know everyone is trying to help, but read the question asked. JYO gave the right answer, there is only one reason for the beer to turn out much darker than expected & that's old/badly stored tins. Malt extract darkens as it ages & this is accelerated with higher storage temps. The...

    Fermentis dry yeast now 15 grams (up from 11.5 grams)

    Fermentis do not permit anyone who repackages their yeast to put their brand name on the packet. Keg King are in clear breach of this on their packet calling it S-04. I guess it will only be a matter of time before they withdraw the name. It is why we call S-189 Swiss Lager & not S-189. Our...

    Tea Ball Infuser for dry hopping

    Avoid Tea Balls - We used to sell them but discovered the locking pin is not stainless, they will eventually corrode & dissolve into your beer. If anyone finds a genuine all stainless steel one,. please let me know. Cheers Ross

    Notes towards a **** ale

    That's probably why the original recipe calls for the chicken to be boiled - It is not added raw. If you look at the chicken juices from your roast dinner after it has cooled, you will see they have all turned to jelly... The first time I made this beer, the reasoning behind boiling the flayed...

    Notes towards a **** ale

    Tim, We regularly brew our **** Ale (sorry MHB), & it was awarded a Silver medal at the Australian International Beer Awards (despite 2 of the judges being vegetarian so I'm told), so I guess it stands as a pretty good beer. We brew a strong Scottish Ale with Belgian yeast & pretty well follow...
