    A Little Advice Needed

    I'd bottle it, keep my eye on how carbonated it becomes and thendrink it pretty quickly. Are you using glass or PET bottles?

    New National Brewing Competition

    Thanks for these links, very educational. Given it's the time of year for beer, I put some thought into how I would organise things, naively thinking it would be and easy job. (I'm no expert of beer judge, just thought it would be a good way to understand the styles better). At first I...

    New National Brewing Competition

    I wonder if there are any Australian Styles written in such a way, in terms of detail and format, that could slot into the BJCP guidelines?

    New National Brewing Competition

    Thanks sosman. The vicbrew ones are what I'm looking for. I might integrate them into my BJCP guides in beersmith. A shame they don't go to the same detail as the BJCP like OG/FG & IBUs.

    New National Brewing Competition

    I've been searching for a description of the Australian styles, can someone point me to where I can find them, or are they still in development? Thanks

    Commercial Styles

    I'd suggest starting with something pretty simple and getting a feel for what the ingredients do by playing with the quantities, Once you understand what they do start introducing more ingredients (if at all). There are a vast variety of grains and hops to play with, but really simple...

    What Kind Of Brewer Are You?

    Start out frugal / techie but often change to instinctive during the brewing process. Maybe it's the few I drink while doing it - am I confused?

    What Hops For Unreal Ale

    I'd think out substituting dextrose or light malt for one or both of the brew enhancer 2. (or leave one out all together) Just personal taste, I don't like my beers too thick. The hop price is pretty normal, are they flowers or pellets? For dry hopping use flowers. Good luck with it

    Different Opinions...

    G'day Thommo Sorry to hear they aren't tasting good. Unfortunately it happens from time to time (well to me anyway). Here's a couple of suggestions: For the carbonation, give the bottles a shake and leave them a couple more weeks. After that, put them all in the fridge. If one tastes bad...

    Roos Vs U R Gay

    The first part is good, leave the other two up to you. Did you see European vacation - you could build a beer bus?

    Roos Vs U R Gay

    Anyone know what's the offical beer of the world cup (OK it's usually crap), and what's the style of beer in the Germany town where it's being played? Let's start brewing, drinking and getting in the mood?

    My Beerbuds Are Changing

    Maybe we can keep the image going and people will keep giving us poor brewers free beers. I was at a party a few weeks ago when people turned up with a six pack of coronas. I'd just downed my Pils in a 1.25l litres PET bottle (poured in glass of course) which I was too lazy to put it into...

    New Extract Tin Of Goo

    I'm interested why you boil the packet yeast bindi. Is it some sort of cannibalism theory? Does live yeast likes eating dead boiled yeast, or are you looking for a vegemite taste? (these are not serious comments!)

    New Extract Tin Of Goo

    If I am brewing with a can of goo, I throw the yeast (from the can) in the loo and then add coopers brew enhancer 2. OK, I only ever use the packet yeast if all else fails. The cans come out OK if you use a commerical quality yeast, such as DCL (Saf ALE / Lager), WL (White Labs), WY (Wyeast)...

    New Extract Tin Of Goo

    When I returned to brewing this year after a few years off, I make up a couple of the cascade cans, since cascade premium is a beer I enjoy. I had hoped that "can" brewing had improved in the last 10 years, but this was not one of them. My reaction was to go and buy a 1/2 bag of grain and hops...
