It's that time of year again ' The Proms ' If your a fan of Duke Ellington this rendition of his last work ' Sacred Music ' is a must see; Introduced by the silky voiced Cerys Mathews. I dont have a religious bone in my body but the last track Dance David Dance is just sublime! Get it from the...

I’m anal about cleaning brewing gear but; Is knowing the Og and Fg going to change the taste (the reason I brew) of your beer? I think not! so my abv has become +/- %.. Out of curiosity I will check new brews. Now I say “it’s a strong bitter, you’l know after 3 pints :-}” Owning a good...

weal, mine arrived ex Germany in 5 days via DHL, I hadn't told the wife I'd bought it!! The box was so good I've kept it haha...

I prefer light bodied milds ( I can hear the boos already haha ) A good mild should be reasonably light bodied it gets its body and apparent sweetness from the way it’s poured (in a good pub)

Thinking of opening a Boozer? this is a good listen from the bbc - The Food Chain podcast https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csyp0m#play Incidentally we have a Scottish pub down the road set in a small tilt up slab shopping centre, good beer, great food, staggering distance, sells more...

In WA anything over 6.8kg for C02 is considered hazardous and is covered by factory regulations even if its your house, a mate has a 'large brewery' in his shed, he showed me the hoops he had to jump through to have his gas cylinders filled.He told me it was similar in other states. To do with...

Some States have quite stringent Occ Health and Safety Laws regarding the storage and use of F size C02 bottles and these include private premises, for good reason! just saying...

I hope your talking 1870s' it was a huge business in those days and expensive, so much so the breweries started manufacturing their own invert. I'm sure it was initially a cost driven adjunct, that and the scarcity of good malt, that's what drove the development of the 'Perfect English Pint'!

Hey ballantynedwolf, the first beer I purchased in a public house was a half of Tetleys Dark Mild, age 13! I can still taste it :-}. Having spent the last 10 years replicating a Yorkshire bitter and just starting on Mild I can offer some advice, but not definitive - yet! 200 to 250ml of brewers...

When a Yorkshireman tells you its the nicest beer he's ever drunk :-}

I have come to believe that all things in beer are connected so yes I do believe that crappy town water and higher fg are connected, but so is everything else - makes it fun to try and understand :-} f* more beer to drink!

Damohb My brewing, like a lot of people here, has developed slowly over a large number of years - I used to read about people hitting fgs <1010 that I thought were just impossible to achieve. In terms of brewing, my focus has gone from sanitation to malt to hops to yeast to process to packaging...

Hello Stuart99, you raise a lot of comments / questions in your post I will try and answer them as I feel competent; Firstly, there is huge debate on the interwebs re drinking RO! Personally I wouldn’t use RO for drinking water, our bodies requirement for minerals in very small quantities is...

G’day blekk, I have no (constructive) comment to make on your recipe. Braggot is a beer I have looked at often to brew, we ate the last 10kg of raw WA honey I purchased! Having just got another 10kg I’m very interested to hear you tasting notes, Good luck….. OK, I think its a lot of toasted...

Hi dbbad, the only silly question is the one you don’t ask! I have seen just what you're after at our local brewing shop, twist lock with orings, I was after one for the same purpose. It was typical cheap plastic and I stopped trusting that carp a long time ago. Now I just inject C02 into the...

There was a residential property for sale posted on here some years back in Brisbane (I think) and that had a beer and wine production licence included in the sale for manufacturing in the garage, wholesale only, ring the council.

"We only use corn syrup in the fermentation process not in the final product" they must have gone to the same school as donald trump!

Cheers Moad, that's a shed load of hops in there look forward to your tasting notes. This is getting higher on my 'brew list' I'll wait to here your opinion.

Sorry Matt I just mean used soda water bottles, they work a treat. I'm sure the Coopers pets will be fine just don't buy old stock from big w without opening the box and checking....
