Im keen for a beer, and as you say any excuse will do. Which one are you going to ? The one in Freo or the other near caning bridge

Hrmm this takes me back For the first few brews I had not got around to getting me a worm drive clip to clamp the plastic host to the false bottom. The first brew went fine no problems. The second, well that was a different story. Had to empty the whole lot into the brew pot thanks to...

HI Unterberg, cheers for the guidance. I think this is one I should try to get a sample then try to clone.

kneitinger beer Has anyone heard of this beer, or tried to clone it ? I have a work colleague, who is from Germany and has some very good things to say about this beer. I have not tried it, nor know what style it is. But from his hyped love of this beer I must clone it.

I am drinking my 5th stubby of this now and I have to say , its a tremendous beer. After 6 weeks of Indian and Nepalese beer, to come home to this homebrew is an absolute treat.

I am also interested in some further feedback if available JSB after a long conditioning if the beer lasted that long, what was your thoughts on recipe tweaks. Which was close to the intended taste, v1 or v2. Thirsty, did you find any further guidance for those interested in the Alpha. As...

I am only really allowed one brew day every three / four weeks. Any more is too high a bill with the missus. For me its need that makes me do two brews at a time. Any less and I run out of beer. But here in lies the conundrum. Brew day is a special occasion, and one must get "off" in a big...

I felt a bit nerdy today I took a bottle of my hefe weiss beer to work for a guy from Bavaria to try. He recons it was right on the mark, reminded him of home and he even asked if i could bring in a few more bottles so he can take them home. I was beaming with pride as I thought I made...

Butters, what is the beer you are creating with this og / fg. Is this a light or mid strength beer, or one for diabetics or something?

yes, all are kept with good care - soft cloth, cleaned with pink death stuff and then sanitised and stored in a cool dark place. and the beer seems to be fine....so far. oh well, lets keep them in service for a while longer. Save the cash for a conical

hahah, this happened to me today: saw two chaps walking out of the beer shop with a ctn of emu export, and the first thing I thought was" sheesh - i could brew 25L for the same price as that filth"

A man who orders a pint, and immediately discover it is flat, when he raises this with staff is told: "oh, it's an Ale, so its meant to be less carbonated than a lager". And replies "WTF has a bottom fermenting yeast strain, that works at lower temperature have to do with the level of...

I have been reading a few posts, and it seem plastic fermentors have a lifespan. This is something I had never contemplated. My main fermentors are 2 years old. This spent in constant use. I have one fermentor, that is 37 years old, it belonged to my grandad and is used for second...

My grandad used to brew using the watch the airlock, then wait a bit method for years. Then granny bought him a hydrometer, and he recons it confirmed what he already knew. However, he brewed 1 recipe of stout for about 40 years. For me, its a new recipe every other time. To help with this...

For sparging I use 20L water @ 80c Add to grain in 3 batches of 7L or so.

Good luck, this is an advanced beer for your first AG. I have brewed the wit recipe from Zaniasheff’s brewing classic styles. Mash at 50c for 10 mins and then take it to 68c for the reminder of a 90 min mash. This seemed to work well for me, and beer turned out very good, although the...

So far the amber did not floc as it was cooling, the bright ale did nicely tho. But it seems I have got it wrong, the chill haze will not be improved from whirfloc, I need additional clearing stuff in the fermentor at some time. Ahh good, a new experiment to try on the next brew day.

Hey Mika, yeah when it is a bit warmer its clear and when its below 7c its a bit hazy. I am seeing a good amount of tissue material flogging around in the pot during boil, especially following the whirlfloc. With the amber, it did seem loose the tissue material after 25 mins, when adding the...

Chatting to Roy (TWOC) that I have. Nice chap. Chill haze, yes thats the problem. Batch size at start of boil is 35, end is 27 @ 90 min boil. As a side question what temp do you drink your beer at ? and does this make a difference to chill haze ?
