I could be easily persuaded into having a few beers at the Wheaty.

I know of no straight up kit that will give you a Stone and Wood Pacific Ale (I'm guessing?). Galaxy hops is it's signature falvour contributor. For something really simple I would try a can of Coopers wheat (Thomas Coopers Selection) and a can of Coopers light malt extract. Boil up 20g of...

With the recipe above there is no need to do a mini mash or an all grain mash. Without trying to get too technical, these techniques are used when you start using malted grains to make up the bulk of your fermentable sugars (i.e. no longer using the malt extract tins). Mashing malted grains...

Wow, you run the 80L pot on your stove? Just crank all four dials?

My calcs say it should be around 5.2% The total sugar you have added for 27 L should give you around 1.046 OG. If you had done a 'standard' batch size of around 23L then you could have expected an OG of 1.054 and if you hit the same GF of 1.006 then it would have been 6.3% or so. So yes, if...

Way of the Beer Brewed for my sensei's grading

I didn't bottle any of my swap beers in a Stone bottle. I reckon that may have been a Belgian-Ameriacan Pale ale. You were probably only tasting 50 IBU's or so. My swap beer is in a blank coopers longneck with "W 13" on the cap.

QuantumBrewer - Not-so-Irish Not-so-Red My last bottle of the swap :( More amber than red - not out of style though. Small head and low carb. I get a little green apple in the aroma behind the caramel malt and yeast esters. Mostly yeasty esters through the flavour with some malt. Cheers.

Nevalicious - South Pacific IPA Perhaps should have drunk this sooner to get it at its freshest best but hop aroma doesn't seem to be effected. Big grassy, passionfruit and melon hop aroma. Malt takes a back seat but there is just enough there. Hops carry through nicely on the flavour, more...

simma - Hoppy Red Ale (American Amber) Very low carb, loose head. Pleasant aroma, a mild mix of caramel malt and citrus hops throughout. Easy drinker. Well enjoyed. Though like I said, I like my AAA a bit more aggressive - just a personnel thing though..

Look forward to hearing how it goes.

Did you get the 50SBB? Am I right in saying it cost all up around $5000 for the brewery landed (including shupping with the conical but not the purchase price)? It would seem about $1000 cheaper than beerbelly though lacks the HERMS, yeah?

My thoughts too. You could make a 'standard' hibiscus beer, a wit or something that will let the hibiscus stand out and accentuate the tartness. Or brew a beer that will balance the tartness with some extra maltiness. i wouldn't push the late hops too hard, maybe 1g/L @ 20min and flameout...

An oak-aged imperial amber ale. 1.070, 75 IBU's, american hops, belgian yeast (1388?) fermented low.

JestersDarts - Autumn Amber Ale Nice deep copper colour, very slight haze but pretty clear. Small and lasting head, low-med carb. Cold out of the fridge I didn't get much off the aroma, after warming up a little I got some malt. Ditto on the flavour, had to let it warm up a little and got...

AF ??? Not too sure where this one has come from. Had AF on a Coopers homebrew lid. My guess is it may be Awesome Fury's stammtisch beer? Bottle was a little under filled but didn't seem to have any bad effects. Gold colour, good clarity. Low carb rate, small loose head. Fruity hops and...

Gunna's CPA My first homebrew! Looks like a CPA, not quite the fruity, estery aroma of a CPA, tastes like a CPA though perhaps a little subdued on the yeast character (not a bad thing). Really easy drinker, well enjoyed. Cheers. Had Awesome Fury's last night didn't take notes though. From...

Gunna's Brown Ale Nice and clear, low carb and small head. A little malt in the aroma with a little ester. I get some choc malt in the flavour as well. Nice beer, cheers gunna.

One or the other date is good for me, not sure which one, in between jobs/rosters.
