    Chilli Beer How To ?

    5th place and a Bronze medal. It was in the "Speciality Beer" class - I guess the judges brace themselves for anything when it comes to judging that one :)

    Chilli Beer How To ?

    Another option is to brew a base beer (I used a German style ale) and then open some of the bottles after conditioning and place one whole, uncut birds eye chilli in each bottle and recap. I then tasted them over time to determine the optimum chilli taste - turned out 2-3 weeks for my liking...

    [brewery Review] Singapore Changi Airport T3

    Recently had a wander through the new Terminal 3 at Changi Airport Singapore. This is the one they built specifically with the new A380 in mind. Anyhow, at one point I looked down at the level below, saw the copper and SS and thought "F*)$ me, that's a brewery". Some poor mobile phone shots...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship 2007 Summary & Full Result

    Typical, as soon as I opened my whiney bloody mouth a variant of Murphy's law kicks in and my judging sheets were in the letter box this arvo when I got home. Best thing is there was an error in my lager score and i didn't bomb out as badly as the published results indicated. Didn't make any...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship 2007

    Strongly disagree ... this is exactly the forum where the future of this event needs to be discussed, and given the hiccups of this year there's no time like the present to start the planning.

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship 2007

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship 2007

    The key thing that has to come out of this is that a full analysis of where things went wrong must be made and strategies put into effect to mitigate those incidents in 2008 and ongoing. This will require honest input from this years organisers and fault (NOT BLAME) to be identified and...
