Saison in 40 deg heat in January!

Munich and Munich 2 are base malts, not spec malts.......use as such If your not using over a kilo, dont bother. Use a kilo! caraaroma and RB are both on the dark and harsh end of their range and while fantastic malts, should be used along with other malts to ballance them. If your using what...

Pfffft.......... not technical enough!

I used to find pitching onto an entire primary yeast cake caused the beer to go mental, and never really worked out right I used to run the wort into a clean fermenter and add about 100mls of the fresh yeast. This then fermented normally. Cheers

Im planning to bottle my Flanders Red soon, its been fermenting for over a year. NOw to work oout how to get it out of the glass carboy....... not something i have done before :P

Hi all. Just thought i would let people know about a new craft beer bar opened in Maitland I dropped in the other day and its a simple place but nice, with about 8 or 9 taps running and on constant rotation. Corner of Lee and High Streets, maitland

Fresh meat for the ******* and wingers guns :P Good luck folks!

Since it warmed up. my lambic has definatly developed some new whit stuff on top

yep. Lunch break each week we would all wander over for 2 beers, games of pool and a steak sandwhich. Bloody hell, that was 23 years ago now

I put down a Lambic and Flanders red in march this year for just this reason..... to let it ferment in the cooler months. My garage usually sits around 15 to 18 deg through the winter and is currently averaging 23 deg. Check what the average temps are in flanders ???? The real thing is made in...

Haha..... my first beer in a pub was at the Royal Oak...... when i was 16.

Rodenbach Limited Edition Barrel 145 oak aged 2009 vintage Complex...... yes Yummy........ YES smells kinda like christmas plum pudding with cinimon, alspice and brandy, sweet oak, toffee and a hint of something tart and funky to make you think. Tastes sweet and sour. Initial sweet dark...

Cheers folks I have not brewed since i sold everything, but i am enjoying watching all sorts of white stuff grow on the Flanders red and Lambic i have had putting away since March. All is well........ Still employed, still married, still sain so cant complain :) Cheers

Just cracked this one and it looked so good i thought i would take a pic and share it. Very well crafted beer! kinda like a big SNPA fermented with a belgian yeast.

my advice........... recipe is sound but could use a tweak! The smoked malt component is not much at all. If its weyermann Rauch malz, its ment to be used as a base malt........ im talking 80 to 90% in a Rauchbier and at this low amount it will add not much more than a slight background...

Found 3 bottles of Berliner Weisse i made ages ago. I think i saved these 3 for the state comp, but i thought bugger it! Put one in the fridge last night and cracked it today......... it is devine. Light, soft, super dry and tart with a nice acidic finnish left in your mouth. It just needs...

When they drop the baby bonus and start handing our automatic weapons that can be used to shoot ******** on unregistered dirtbikes with the mufflers cut off and V6 commodores doing burnouts up and down subusrbourn streets, it will be a wonderful day. I will take an AK47

I will add to Andrews's post by saying that i have politely requested a group of members to not swear in the status update's as they are visible to visitors to the site on the front page. We want to keep this part clean due to it being on the front page. I also asked for a simple "please...

Rice Gulls Mardoo........ its said Rice Gulls :P They are good if you have a FB that may get stuck but im not sure if you would need them in a bag? Im no BIAB expert but if you did use them, id say use less

I have brewerd with a lot of Rye over the years and to be honest, you dont need to do any special mash steps for it. Just mash as you would normally. THe main thing i have found is to mash a bit cooler than normal to get better attenuation, because a sweet underattenuated beer just doesnt work...
