Hi all I know this question has been asked before about 12 years ago or so, and I have done some of my own research. I have brewed English Ales before, but I want to get something close to Wizard Smith and wondered if anyone had some tips or insider secrets. Thanks

Thanks Golly

Hi guys Just after a bit of advice, I have 750ml Mangrove Jack swing top bottles that I want to put Seltzer in. I want it Carbed a bit more than beer, so was thinking 3 carbonation drops per bottle. Do you reckon that would be all right? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Thanks, PH was set lower because normally my PH comes out higher than what was estimated using brewfather. I don't know what else I can do to get PH right, I'm normally in the range but never hit my target PH.

I haven't seen the point either, always excepting the use of slight pressure to facilitate low-oxygen brewing. But here is a different take and different purpose, with respect to NEIPAs rather than lagers: Fermenting & Dry Hopping Under Pressure - Scott Janish Dan Learning something new here...

Thanks mate I do care, and I do have a PH meter. I spend such a long time trying to get the chemistry right. I have struggled to get PH right constantly I don't know what im doing wrong. So every brew should have Calcium in the water (50-100ppm Min) ?

Right thanks mate Bugger for 70 degrees too high I didn't factor that in as I based the recipe off similar rice lagers and thought that temp was right. This style is typically dry, so if I was to add some enzyme whats it called and how much? Reason for pressure ferment was to speed the lager...

Hi all My Rice Lager seems to be stuck. I believe brew day went well. I started fermenting 4/12/21 and it now day 8. I'm brewing under pressure 15psi at around 19 degrees. It took off within 8 hours of pitching a 2 litre yeast starter that was on stir plate for 3 days. SG was 1.046 by day 2 it...

Ahh thanks mate, seems like 6 O'clock book was the one that had a bit more non NSW beers in it.

Hi I already own 6 O'clock Brews and looking to buy at least one other book by Peter Symons. I'm currently in the process of making the 1942 Cascade Sparkling Ale from 6 O'clock Brews. I'm interested in brewing a post 1950's Cascade Beer. Ideally something from either 70's or 80's. I can't see...

Great cheers for the clarification and the link I'll see if I can get a copy.

Thanks, yeah I understand that. I intend on getting the book. I was keen on brewing something "old" over the weekend and wasn't going to be able to get the book. I also wasn't sure if this recipe was exclusively just in the book or available elsewhere.

Do you have the recipe for the green label by any chance, was hoping to brew in next couple days. Thanks mate

Thanks, which is the best book to buy to brew cascade beers?

Hi all I have been informed there is a 1800s Cascade Pale Ale recipe in a book or floating around. Does anyone have it, I'd love to have a crack this weekend. Thanks in advance

Hi all This water stuff is doing my head in, I think I'm fairly up to speed in other areas of brewing but this really confuses me. I found a old water report from several years ago from this forum in the Hobart Group, but not sure how to put it into Ezy Water and really not sure what additions...

Ok thanks mate mead is quite new to me, not used to not getting a accurate SG reading like beer.

Hi I'm brewing a mead for a mate. I'm a fairly experienced home brewer (beer) Followed a recipe on YouTube. 5 litre batch 1.5kg honey Mead yeast Tanic tea- orange peel, raisins, black tea. Getting a SG is hard, no matter how hard I shake and mix the must it doesn't seem to fully disovle, as...

Sorry to bring up a old thread, but its the only thing I could find relevant to Hobart. I got a copy of water report from Taswater last year but I couldn't find the minerals on the report like on the above that BilBrewing posted. Does anyone know if what BilBrewing posted about Hobarts Water...
