    Coopers pale ale clone

    Definitely harvest bottle yeast from a few coopers - couple of God YouTube videos on how to do it. Start 3-4 days before brew day. Keep ferment temps round 16-18 degrees. Depending how you brew, can of pale malt and a wheat can, hop with pride of ringwood to 22 - 28 ibus depending on preference...

    Depression........Its real

    Nice post masters, it's a long road for the ones that live with sufferers. I lost 2 very close mates to suicide that were long term sufferers and now watching one mates brother and mother battle the demon. Unfortunately, my mates went down from not talking about it. It's now very out in the open...

    CraftBrewer

    Top service. I will pay a little more if I can get it from craft brewer. Having worked in transport and web based businesses, their service is second to none IMHO. I've had a few billing issues and delayed deliveries, but that happens with any business. 99% of the time, these guys are brilliant...

    American Red

    +1 to galaxy at 10 min. I've found that this is galaxy's sweet spot as well. It's too much at 20, and to Getty that lovely passionfruit 10 min is great. That's about all I would use it for to bolster an apa our ipa personally. To many other hops to do better jobs at 60, 20, 5, 0 and dry. My...

    Toucan Belle Saison

    Just drinking my first Saison with danstar, bottled my second. Even though I'm an ag brewer, I reckon that yeast would kick arse with a kit and can brew, the yeast has a fantastic character, would really help kit brewers along, and perfect for summer. Good post. Having only really brewed pale...

    What are you brewing in QLD

    Tasting said Saison, 3 weeks in, still a bit green but what a great beer. Pils, Vienna, sine wheat, Motueka hopped, danstar belle yeast, spicy, peppery, but awesome, best hot weather trade off. Great beer. One of the best beers I've made to be honest. Got a classic Styrian goldings hopped one in...

    What are you brewing in QLD

    +1 for Saison. Just got my first ready and it's a great beer, brewed at between 26-30 degrees, fluctuating with local temps. Gout sick of the wet towel and ice blocks making the spare room musty. Add all the extra stuffing around - not worth it. My cousin just picked up a foam lined cupboard...

    Craft beer bar opening in Miami/north Burleigh. Can't remember the name, bit of a trek into the coast though, heading toward Byron might be a better bet. pickaxe

    Water causing stainless steel rust?

    Modification aside, if the modification did not contribute to the product failure you should have some argument to the product being ' not as advertised', as long as supplier is reasonable. Mods do void warranty however, but if it's in realms of reasonable use... Three fact is the pot would have...

    maxkon single induction bench top.element.

    These things are great. I now have 2 identical elements for my 2 big w pots. They are quick get a perfect rolling boil and are cheaper than my **** stovetop. Perfectly in synch. Strike water is ready quick, boils achieved quickly, and our rolls perfectly with identical evaporation rates. Highly...
