The Chive would have to be one of the funniest websites around. Couldn't help myself and had to share the link below! Trolling Australian

I've been searching through various forums trying to find something a little more interesting than the standard cider. I've made a few really enjoyable ciders made from juice, yeast and the optional cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves but want to get a little more creative. I've found a few really...

I started a JAO roughly 7 weeks ago and have been anxiously waiting, watching and reading about the entire process. I don't know what to expect but i'm still getting what people have referred to as the "mead bug" and want to experiment with different things before i do anything on a larger...

Having just obtained a juicer I've been reading up about making apple cider from real apples. I've realised that there's only bits and pieces of information scattered throughout the non-beer section and thought it would be a good idea to dedicate this particular thread to the subject...

I know you can kill wild yeast by heating it up or adding chemical to pressed apple juice but i was wondering if freezing the juice would work just as well. I don't think i've heard it mentioned as a method of getting rid of wild yeast but i've read a few times to not allow yeast that you've...

I'm a few days off bottling my latest brew thats been sitting in the fermenter for 2 weeks now and i've decided to start using glass bottles. I went out and bought the safeway standard bottle tops. I had a bit of a practice this afternoon with putting the bottle caps on the bottles but i'm...

Anyone know of a place in Melbourne that sells bulk sugar(dextrose) or a website that is based in Melbourne that sells it? Cheers, Tomo

I'm still new to brewing and have only done half a dozen brews so far. I'm still using the standard brew kits that you can buy from safeway or coles at the moment until i get a little more confident with what i'm doing. I've always wanted to make a nice honey malt beer that actually has a taste...
