errr ... yes?? Not in the quantities and at the price either.

Hi all, Spent about 3 weeks in the US with the family. I never get over the range and diversity of the US craft beer market, and of course the availability and price. Here's a (incomplete) list of what I had, all were very good unless specified. The US obsession with hops continues, and I don't...

No you are.

And buy some bloody books and get on with it, it's not that hard FFS. A lot of the BS on here is generated by people who want to make a simple process difficult. And that comment about commercial brewers is rubbish. Real commercial brewers aren't interested in the types of techniques and styles...

Hi there, This is a recipe I used for an "AmericoBelgian" experiment that didn't tutn out to bad: Brew 118 A ProMash Recipe Report Recipe Specifics ---------------- Batch Size (L): 27.00 Wort Size (L): 27.00 Total Grain (kg): 6.30 Anticipated OG: 1.060...

The beer is always good. When are your going up? Make it a Friday and I'll cadge a lift.

Gryphon Brewing is a good source for malts, yeast and hops if Bassendean is within your range. I found that I moved from kits to extract to AG withing about 6 brews. The quality is the key and 130 brews later I have no regrets despite the added complexity and expense. It's not about cheap grog...

Mosquito wire :blink:

You don't. But once upon a time we didn't have this type of toss off.

Sorry hadn't read this one. This is real BS.

Hmm ... seems a fairly typical comment ... with which I'd disagree. I think this SB compares very favourably with the first SB, a US IPA IIRC. They've upped the IBUs and the ABV, don't really see what people have to critcise. Of course there could be a bit of BS (Beer Snobbery) starting to take...

Excellent beer. Bought two cartons from DeVine in Ingelwood for $60 each.

This looks like a win-win too me. Anchor's different to SN, not as hoppy IMHO and not meant to be. A very good beer.

Indeed Nev, I was not addressing quality pilsners merely the tasteless insipid ones that some posters apparently enjoy.

Woefully out of touch I'm afraid. In case you haven't noticed a great deal of what happens in the US happens here. OK, so you don't have a taste hops. Good for you! There's an endless supply of insipid lagers and tasteless, flat English ales out there that won't offend. And I presume you've...

What the hell is French pressing? Sounds rude. If we're talking about dry hopping, I put the hops in a piece of muslin and dangle, or "teabag" if you will. I don't find any grassy flavours.

Yes. Oh, unless you're attempting to escape persecution and death in you home land, then we hate your guts.

A six pack of Leffe for $9.50? Here it would be at least double that. I don't believe it's all excise ot shipping for that matter. Australia has the highest retail margins in the world mainly due to a lack of competition. And that can be blamed on restrictive trading laws. I heard that small...

IIRC I found that the local supermarket near our hotel in Kata has quite a good range of Euro-beers including some Belgians (Leffe, Chimay). Of course i may not RC as I had quite a few Changs which were 6% over there.

Ditto, I saw one advertised at a car parts place about 4 years ago. Didn't do anything about it and haven't seen on since (bugger).
