Yes, you have me thinking on that. Cheers.

Yes, how much to spend is the question.

Hi Brewers Moving into extract brewing. Do brewing kettles heat the water and allow you to boil the ingredients in the same container? Do they have their own power supply and other features like a cooling system? Only looking at partial boils for now, 19L or more.

Thanks Mark, very informative. I might try the dry enzyme for starters and see how it goes. Cheers

How do I get a more crisp mouthfeel with my kit beer? Is adding cracked grains such as rice grains or crystal malt the way to go?

Thanks for your input, kadmium. I had to look up Bru-1 as I'd never heard of it. Cheers

Anyone know what hops are used in the Larry pale ale beer? It's described as a passionfruit, pineapple & mango taste.

Hi brewers I'm looking for a 2 (or 3) hop combination to produce a sweeter beer along the lines of 150 Lashes. In the past I've used an Amarillo and Nelson Sauvin pairing, also Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo, and Simcoe with varying success. Maybe need some bittering to round all that out? Anyone...

My very first drink of beer was a Castlemaine XXXX tallie swigging with my Senior Scout mates in St George Square, Brisbane, one night long ago. XXXX has never tasted as good as that first drop, and never will now after brewing my own.

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Jaden, the 9 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over. Jaden clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong? He replied, ‘It...

I'm reluctant to enter my beer in any comp because it would show up how bad the other beers were. :bowdown:

Not a bad drop. Drank it in NZ when I was there.
