I've recently moved to Grafton (from Sydney) and am trying to source some charcoal to cook a pig for my dads birthday. I can't seem to find anywhere that stocks bbq charcoal. Only thing I can find is heatbeads, but I'd prefer charcoal if I could get it. I know there's a few Grafton people on the...

Hi, I came across this website today with some interesting recipes for (mainly) Belgian beer clones using candi syrup and thought others might find it useful. http://www.candisyrup.com/recipes.html I like the simplicity of most of the recipes which seems to be in line with what the trappists do...

So what is the beer of choice of any self respecting London rioter? Carlsberg Special Brew of course! Tastes like cat piss, 9% ABV and cheap as chips.

So the other day I was reading through 'Designing Great Beers' and reading the section on bitters and pale ales. I got interested by the section where he talks about recipes for IPA's from the days when it was exported to India and he provides a table with the specs. Out of interest I plugged...

The best Aussie IPA, no need to look any further. Went to the local taphouse in Darlo last night with my Dad and bought him one while I had a wheat beer. All I could smell was waves of galaxy coming off him as I was chatting to him, I've know about garlic breath, but have never come across...

I'm trying to brew a belgian blonde to use up some yeast from a belgian strong dark ale I did a little while ago. I harvested about 1 cup of yeast from the bottom of the fermenter and put it in a stubby and stuck it in the fridge. I'd read that yeast can be stored like this for a few weeks...

I did my 5th biab beer yesterday and stepped it up from the english type ales I've done so far and had a crack at the dark belgian strong ale from brewing classic styles. I haven't had the best efficiency in the past and since its such a big beer I based my recipe on 60% efficiency. I've been...

Anyone know if there is a White labs equivalent to WY3787? I can only get white labs yeasts locally. Cheers.

Can anyone in the coffs harbour area recommend a decent bottlo? I'm up there for xmas visiting my parents, but am flying so can't bring any decent beer with me from sydney. Something that stocks Pilsner Urquell or LCPA would be great. My dad loves Pilsner Urquell and I always brings a case up...

G'day, this is a question for my dad. He put a 3kg ESB can of american pale ale about a month ago and he reckons that its still fermenting. It was an old can that I gave him about 2 years ago, and he used the yeast that came with it (probably S04 or US05 - he can't remember). Normally I'd say it...

G'day. I'm going to try my 3rd partial recipe this weekend. This is what I'm planning. Any feedback on my recipe, particularily my percentages and hop additions etc? This is for 12L only as thats all my limited equipment can do at present. Amount Item Type % or IBU 1.50 kg Pale Liquid Extract...

G'day, I'm using safwheat yeast K-97 for the first time in my attempt at a belgian wit beer (3kg ESB wheet kit, torrefied wheat steeped. 22 litres). Anyway it's been going for 2 weeks now in the primary, but is seems to be going extremely slowly. OG was 1.045 and it's currently on 1.014 - I'm...

Ok, after doing one extract recipe so far, I've just downloaded beersmith to figure out a recipe for an IPA. Anyway, my brewpot is only 10L so I can't do a full sized boil - probably 8L at the most to avoid boilovers. According to beersmith, the hop utilisation for such a small boil volume is...
