Reading that Pabst were the first to sell one million barrels - reminded me of Frank Booth in "Blue Velvet" - his favourite beer is Pabst blue ribbon and he believes that Heineken is rubbish. Heineken is the favourite beer of Jeffrey Beaumont , and Sandy Williams prefers Bud. Anyone else have...

Nothing to do with beer but related to chillis. I remember an occasion when my dad decided that he'd remove some of the heat from a load of birdseyes by frying them on the stovetop. Pretty soon we were all outside the house so we could see and breathe and we stayed outside for a wee while...

That's a great effort Doc - good on you - and congratulations Barry Cranston - must have been a pretty good drop to win grand champion. cheers reg

Any ideas on why it isn't %100 chocolate? cheers reg

What sort of equivalence is there between chocolate malt extract and chocolate malt grain? cheers reg

They're only twist-top longnecks - nothing you won't find out on the footpath on recycling night. Now if they were lovely old heavy crown-seal bottles I wouldn't be tossing them out. cheers reg

I'm a little reluctant to add sugar to extract kits so take my advice with a grain of salt. (I remember adding a kg of sugar to a can of coopers per the instructions and the result was not something I enjoyed - though I have no experience with the CSR brewing sugar). Dryhopping pellets in...

Well it's carbonating - nothing's gone bung so far and I have it sitting in a tub just in case it splits. If this works I'll be tossing out some bottles. cheers reg

It'll probably taste good whatever it's called. cheers reg

No it won't kill you. I haven't brewed this style but have cooked up a couple of higher alcohol brews. The first one was horribly sweet - far too low hopping for the amount of malt - it was my first partial mash attempt. Another brew had better hop/malt balance - had a noticeable alcohol...

I think that bradmcm raises an interesting point of divergence between the US and Australian homebrewing markets. In Australia there's considerable emphasis on marketing homebrew as a lower cost alternative to highly taxed commercial beer. In the US, mass market mainstream beer is relatively...

I recently started skimming after following a discussion on the craftbrewing digest - havent' tasted a skimmed brew yet. cheers reg

I'm pretty much in the same boat - am just now brewing my first lagers. I have two lagers lagering and one fermenting. Anyway I recently brewed an ale using saflager yeast - brewed at around 18 degrees and it tastes good. I'm not lagering it - it has a flavour I don't know how to...

Maybe it's the traditional sort of yeast that's recommended to be brewed at at least 25 - 30 degrees :-). Did anyone at the launch see the brewing instructions? Anyway I emailed MSB for more information and received a reply of sorts from lion nathan (see following). When I first saw this...

I have a lager in the fridge - used saflager w-34/70. I've not used this one before - what do people think about it? cheers reg
