I guess from your other posts you will have no trouble finding hops for this brew! 2nd AG brew! Really? James

I have just used some Super Pride @ 14% A/A, in a Dark Ale for the first time. I have some NZ Pacific Gem that are also over 14%, can anybody give me any info on these? James

Tony if you can't afford heroin anymore the Govt will provide you with Methadone FOC! How about some taxpayer funded relief for people with a brewing addiction! I will state now for those of you without a sense of humour that I am taking the piss. James

I wish I had some more time to prepare, but I have a box of stray brews in the garage, I am sure there is something there to test or stress the judges. James

I found that using Super Alpha as a bittering hop instead of Northern Brewer I got a nice Citrus flavour that wasn't overpowering. Never used the actual fruit! James

I have taken this a step further. Yesterday I was at the supermarket & grabbed a big tin of those Danish Butter Cookies. I donated them this morning to the lunch room cookie jar. Lets just say we have many people from a variety of religous backgrounds that work here. This morning there were...

As a show of support to those that still think there is such thing as FREEDOM OF SPEECH I picked up a 6 pk of Carlsberg this evening on the way home to show the good people of Denmark that as an individual I...

As a simple alternative try an ESB 3kg Bavarian Bock Kit, make it to a total volume of 20 litres and you will be not far off. If you are brewing in a unit these are great fun. James

Well you can beat an egg, but you can't beet a root! sorry James

Darren Could you arrange a couple of pallets of Wheat to be sent to Iraq? :ph34r: They reckon they spoke to someone from Adelaide named Alexander, but I told them you were running things down there now! Cath ya James

Sounds like toaster envy!

What is, & where did you get the 885 monster cylinder? James

An in-formal gathering at The Nags Head in Glebe on the 1st Friday of the month could be a start. They do hand pumped ales & lots of beer talk takes place James

Morning all I am about to get some Powells to try. I haven't seen anybody discuss mash temps here when talking about efficiency drops. Does one temp fit all ? I want to try a step mash (55 + 72?) and a decoction over the holidays, has anybody attempted this with Powells malts? I have also heard...
