    Root Beer With Stevia

    Dont take this the wrong way but you Might be better posting this question on the American forum mate. I'm sure there is a small amount of people here who might drink/brew it here but it's far more common in north America. There is sections on hbt dedicated to soda's. So they might be able...

    Gruit Ale

    Thats a lot of different spice! Are you not worried with that many some will clash? I'm intrigued can't wait to hear the results. Assuming your bottling. How long would you mature something like this?

    Infection Photo Thread

    cheers for confirming. yeh i know theres risks with racking. i just needed some fermenter space. so racked to bottling bucket and left till i found time to bottle. next time i guess i should just bottle straight away and stop being lazy . It just cost me a nice dunkel and my bottling bucket.

    Rosemary In Beer

    Nickjd- Geez I dread the day I'm where your at in brewing and making solely lagers. 90% of beer drinkers think that is the only beer. Or as there led to believe by the lager megaswill brewers of the world it needs to be as crisp, flavorless an clear as the water it's made from but then still...

    Rosemary In Beer

    Yep some good points there I do agree with you beer is better with just malt and hops and more combinations one can brew in a lifetime. But at the same time i also like experimentation. Sure there's always gunna be better beer out there but there's no harm in trying something different. As for...

    Rosemary In Beer

    Your opinion and your entitled to it. But all you guys are doing here is stifling curiosity. People have different tastes and some like to experiment with things not so traditional in modern beers. Guessing you both wouldn't brew a wit then either? As adding coriander, chamomile and zest is I...

    Rosemary In Beer

    Thanks for the heads up but I was more thinking of sourcing an ale with it. I don't think my 18l BIAB pot could handle any branches in it! As for sourcing branches I'm sure I could try find it over here (Sweden) but just assuming your in aussi I doubt customs would allow it in. Especially...

    Rosemary In Beer

    Juniper was quite common in Sweden back in the day. And still is in traditional Gotland ales. I believe they use it instead of hops and use whole branches! Will try and get hold of one since I'm here and review. Unsure about elderflower in beer but it goes great in ciders. All the Swedish...

    Is It Possible I Have No Yeast In Suspension After Racking?

    Just to confirm for anyone who stumbles upon this in a search one day. 4 days after adding 1ml of hungry yeast from a fresh starter my beer is now full of big bubbles. Hoping inthe coming weeks it will soften out. So to answer my own OP. In this case for some reason my healthy yeast flocced...

    Is It Possible I Have No Yeast In Suspension After Racking?

    Well why not the same yeast? there was no problem with original ferment. The problem is lack of healthy yeast in the bottle which should now be fixed. I've actually brewed a black ipa with the same yeast harvested and had no problems. I did rouse it a little before racking just to make sure...
