Hi all, was thinking of making a barley wine in the next few weeks for my birthday at the beginning of next August (Middle of winter = perfect barley wine drinking time!!) Was thinking the following grain bill,and am leaning more towards english style, and I figured theres no point doing late...

Howdy Y'all, at work yesterday one of our students was juicing pomegranates and automatically the first thing I thought was I want to ferment the juice in some beer!! Now I was thinking around 8L incase it tastes awful and I cant drink it. For simplicity I was thinking 2kg of Ale malt...

Thanks to the generous Gulf, I'll be in possesion of about 100g of freshly picked cascade flowers!! Yum!! So to celebrate I thought what better than to use them in an American Amber Ale!! Recipe I'm thinking is as follows, bittered with Simcoe to roughly 35IBU, then I'll use my BIAB bag as a...

I was lucky enough to drop into Brew Boys yesterday when Simon was whipping up a 50L batch of 'Harvest Ale', using the hops that he and Stephen have been growing at the tasting room. Simon decided to put the whole lot in the hop back (700g which had been dried for a bit, so not fully wet but...

Hi all, silly me thought I'd attempt to mash a full 4.7kg grain bill in 12L of water in a 19L pot, and my efficiency was only 54% :P I got an SG of 1040 so added a bit of DME to bring it back up to 1045, so that my 50g of galaxy wouldnt be too over the top. I think next time I might sub 2kg...

Hi All, I've volunteered to be a steward at the packaged beer round of the AIBA next month. I have two questions, firstly is anyone from AHB going to be there too? And second is there anything I should see or do while im in Ballarat? The dates are the 12th to the 15th of April. Cheers Colby

Hi All, after much deliberation, and being knocked back for a phd scholarship, ive decided to do the graduate certificate of brewing, and hopefully make my way into the brewing industry in the next few years. Is anyone else starting it this year? I cant wait to get my first readings!! I...

Hi All, on my recent adventure to Melbourne I went to Mountain Goat, and I must say I absoutely loved their beer! I was especially impressed with their AIPA and Riwaka Pale Ale, and decided as my first BIAB foray I'd try make a 8L batch of the AIPA. I emailed them about it and got this...

Hi all, I had a thought today about re using the yeast cake from my fermenter. Would it possible to, once I've bottled a batch and have about 1L remaining in the bottom, to swirl the fermenter to get all of the cake suspended again, bottle into a sanitised bottle, and re pitch this into...

Evening all, as I work at coles i got to get some fresh coopers pale ale kits while theyre on special (oh btw, for those who dont know coopers kits are on special this week in SA) Was thinking about doing a kit amarillo APA style recipe, but modified to use the pale as the kit, with the...

Went to the Crown and Sceptre for my g/f's sisters birthday dinner last night, and the Coopers Sparkling Ale from the tap was the best I've ever tasted! It was so perfectly balanced and tasty!!

Hi All, I have what may seem a strange question, but has any one ever heard of using lentils as an adjunct in brewing beer? If not, does anyone think it would be possible? Just a strange suggestion a friend of mine made. Many Thanks Colby

Hi All, A few mates and I went to the Belgian Beer Cafe in Adelaide last night and tried Belgiums strongest beer, the Bush Amber. Now being a poor student, I couldnt justify the $15.20 for one 250mL beer, having plenty of home brew in the fridge for cheap :D My question is has anyone tried a...

Howdy Y'all, was just on the coopers website and they sell all their cans of extract etc. in the general store at the airport, but I was wondering if they sell them at the brewery? Its just easier for me to go to the brewery as I work just across the road at the tafe once a week. Also do they...
