    Brown Hops

    Hello Everyone, I have a situation where my home grown hops have turned from the traditional green to a very crispy brown on the bine. I am not sure if the warm Autumn we had earlier on had anything to do with it but it seems the hops turned from green to brown in a very short time. What do you...

    Beerfest 2010

    Hello WSC and all, The way the beer is made is not important for judging but should you win the contact details (address and email) are _very_ important. Style and category are good too. We had one entry last year with just the category, good thing it didn't win :-) I currently have only 1...

    British Ale Competition 2009

    Maybe I was Fourstar, maybe I was .... I live in Coburg and make my way to Ferntree Gully for the meeting each month and I reckon it's worth it. On the other hand maybe the closest club might be the one for you. Maybe you'll stay independant ...

    British Ale Competition 2009

    Oh no, I haven't brewed my award winning beer yet ... Time is running out. Luckily British Ales don't need to be highly carbonated :P Best of luck to all of you. I'll have to see if mine is even ready on time! I'm going to find out about food on the day of the competition soon. Stay tuned...

    Maybe, just maybe I'll brew this Sunday. The shed clearing fairies are hard at work today while I'm at work not working as hard :P

    British Ale Competition 2009

    I'm running late! Might brew my ordinary or special bitter on Sunday if my brewery is back together by then after the house move. I suppose I'd better not make the brew too good. It wouldn't look good if the competition organiser won a prize :lol: I've been meaning to visit Oscar's Ale House...

    British Ale Competition 2009

    Hi Aaron, The Irish Red is as British as the Scottish 70/ ! Maybe we should've called it the United Kingdom Ale Competition but that doesn't have the same ring to it!! Seriously it's more to do with the substyle groupings in the style guidelines more than anything. Style guidelines and entry...

    British Ale Competition 2009

    Hello Brewers, Just moved house but I'm keen to brew something for the new comp. Dunno what yet. Maybe an ordinary bitter? I'm actually the comp. organiser so if there are any questions please shoot them my way. Looking forward to a successful competition. Get brewing!!

    Vic Xmas Case Swap 2008

    Hi All, It was hot tonight so I cracked open #2 Mark_M's Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale. What can I say, Passionfruit in the aroma, passionfruit in the flavour with only medium bitterness and medium malt sweetness besides. It's a good thing I love passionfruit. Colour was yellow/orange I think. The...

    Vic Xmas Case Swap 2008

    Hello All, Next is #20 Haysie's Belgian Ale. I'm gonna pretend it's a Belgian Pale Ale! Colour is amber, aroma is of medium fruit, sugar sweetness and what smells like hops. Carbonation is good and taste is super fruity with a medium spicy/hoppy flavour and medium-low bitterness. This was a...

    Vic Brewers Xmas Case Swap - Recipes

    I agree that my Belgian Wit is too "orangy". I think it could be a much better beer if it was less "orangy" and had less orange pith bitterness. After putting on my thinking cap I recommend adding the zest of 2 oranges instead of the peel of 3 oranges as stated above. This should arrest both...
