MC, thx m8 regarding spring water, by all means use it, youre sure to find heaps on info on it here, plenty of people do use it. I am not a big fan, proper mineral is just that, not really "pure" water. It has salts, minerals etc in it. I am sure it will make beer that tastes just fine, should...

Hey Big Nath & Monchan, Here's cheers to making kick ass beer!! :beerbang:

I can only TOTALLY concur with MHB here and add a few thoughts/views of my own. i have nowhere near as much experience as him. I pretty much a self-proclaimed kit master now. However am now doing partial BIABing, but my kit beers, just quietly, pretty damn good. I honestly havent noticed any...

Just use a freakin' hydrometer guys!!! Keep it simple. :)

Try this then fasty, Get your hydro sample, take the reading, take a tiny swig. Then pop it in the fridge for a few hours or overnight(better) and drink it the next day, nice & cold. I often do this, not because I am SO TIGHT that I dont want to waste the beer, but because I really want to see...

Looks like it was fate! The brewgods didnt allow you to make such a wonderful beer only to have it be a 'mild' :) If its a cracker then give it another go and see if you can get your target OG next time Rendo

Yep...dex = GORNE!! :) Take a hydro reading when ur mate does it...(minus all dex) then take a hydro reading next time u make it at full strength. that way u'll know once you get the FG readings when the brews are done. rendo

mate.....WELCOME TO AHB!!!!! Its a great place where you WILL learn a HEAP sounds like a fantastic beer!!! nice hops and great yeast choice....why are u ruining it with an old kit!! :) I have done old kits to death...it just aint worth the saving of $10 or so. With all the old kits I have...

yes...belgians minus the napisan. That would be grand. (didnt u often wonder why I was ducking down to the supermarket and coming back with white powder on my shirt & tie....until they got rid of ties...of course)

Guys, I have used this one over and over and over again with NO problems. Definitely no scent. SOMETIMES it goes on half price special and u get the 2kg tub for $5-$6, usually 2kg is $11. So wait for it to go on special, get a 2kg tub or two and its enough to last you (& more) until it goes on...

How about Me, Milla J, Halle B, Mel G AND Jen Hawkins in an awesome FIVESOME!!! Or just themselves in an awesome foursome and we can all sit back and watch and drink some homebrew???

I like the new hop schedule better!! Havent used either hops before...no worries, Best way is just to try it out then. I put a bit of effort into finding what commercial beers use what hops, then went and bought them, drank them and learnt that way :) hallertau is great, if you like the german...

The main thing for me would be your brewing temps. What temp are u brewing at? How are you going to control temps? Lagers brew better in colder and consistent temps...If you have a temp controlled brewing fridge then ur laughing...or do you have an unused fridge you can out your fermenter in to...

Hi Mike, I totally recommend you DO IT :) Seriously, just buy it and try it. Its $8....it wont be the best beer u have made, but it should be okay if your brewing methods are already producing drinkable beer. Then do yourself a favour, for $11 odd dollars go and get a coopers premium can (not...

Manticle, I will do my best. I know if I go digging I will get plenty of live ones, occassionally I see a dead one laying around, as soon as I do, it is yours. The weather is warming up, so the chances are on their way up too. Since my extermination methods have progressed to gassing them in...

Hahaha, none taken, yep i was serious....it didnt look like hops, but I thought...well...it might be, i have never grown hops before and this plant popped up at the same time as the POR and initially it looked similar, then got progressively different...very different :) Wanted to check with...

HIGHLY OT... OUCH...I have plenty of Sydney funnel webs mate...do u want me to get some for you from the backyard. Often I find them sitting on top of my fermenter, looking thru the glad wrap and drooling. Ive told them once, ive told them twice....STAY OUTTA MY BEER. As far as your Northern...
