#12 English IPA Appearance - dark golden colour, good head that fades quickly, brilliantly clear Aroma - good malty aroma with a hint of hop aroma Flavour - big maltiness, slightly sweet with a good background bitterness. Very light cherry and pear flavours come through. Malt has a good...

100% Weyermann Vienna Mashed at 64c Magnum at 60 for 22.5ibu Hallertau Mitt at 10 for 7.8ibu Wy2206 Bavarian fermented at 12c Tastes delicious and has a nice hoppy flavour. Reminds me of a Lowenbrau Will be entered in the NSWs if I can bottle it properly as a German Pilsner I think even though...

Re-brew of ESB comp IPA that scored 36 and 39 for the NSW comp. From the comments of being too balanced for an IPA (ie ESB) I've up the Gypsum and lowered the CaCl. Also mashing lower for a dryer finish. I'm going to crash it first before dry hopping to try to avoid bad hop haze. Style...

Near Broadway is Staves, otherwise there is plenty on King St that aren't too far. Otherwise it's Surry Hills with Royal Albert, Keg and Brew, Dove and Olive, Local Taphouse.

Great minds! Except I'm doing mine as a Baltic Porter, ie. Using lager yeast

Do you know the what the water profile is that you are aiming for? This is mine for an ESB which you can adjust to hit your targets. This is a copy so go wild http://www.brewersfriend.com/mash-chemistry-and-brewing-water-calculator/?id=R1NR6XX

Hi Ben, I'm just wondering if there was something in particular that prompted this comment? From my side, I've enjoyed it being able to drink a whole bunch of different beers I may not brew myself. Not all have been to my style, but they've all been worth experiencing.

Currently motoring along at 13c, down to 1.032. Any ideas on how long it will take to get down to final? Had sample, tastes like coffee and toast, great potential!

Yeah I would bump up the temp to 20c+. Not sure you really want a "clean" ferment with cider, it ferments so dry some esters make it taste like something. Other thing to remember is that cider likes conditioning time, 4-6 weeks if you can stand to wait that long without drinking it.

Topaz is probably like a mix of centennial and galaxy if that makes sense - kinda dank passion fruit. Haven't used the others so no opinion.

Get yourself a stir plate and some erlenmyers and become a sexy yeast rancher, guaranteed more action in the bedroom* *guarantee not guaranteed :D

I took the 20mins from here http://www.sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=4125 But that doesn't say how much water or how little is left. Other brewing sites say 2 hours for 5 gallons, including an article by deLange.

Doing a quick google, chloramines can be removed with 20 minutes of boiling. Or a 1000mg vitamin c table will do a medium bathtub of water, I'm not sure what the bathtub to litres ratio is, but I'm guessing less than a quarter tablet would be required. I'll still use the metabisulfate as I have...

Courage 1914 RIS as a Baltic Porter Taken from http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/lets-brew-wednesday-1914-courage.html?m=1 Was a real SOB as it didn't fit in my pot and it leaked everywhere, the. Hauling out 10kg of wet grain was a new experience that sucked and caused more liquid...

Any dead cells would act like yeast nutrient. Agree with SBOB, decant ant pitch away!

Chloramine can't be waited out unfortunately. Sodium Metabisulphite is your best bet. I have a 1kg bag and add a scant pinch with my water adjustments. Very little is needed.

#11 IPL Appearance - light copper colour, short lasting head, reasonably clear Aroma - malty aroma with a light stone fruit aroma Flavour - toffee and honey flavour very prominent, with a balancing hop bitterness. As it warms a nice noble hop flavour comes through. Very nice work on a clean...
