Happy New Year! I have just replaced the pump and filter on my 20,000 litre above ground pool. The new system is a Zodiac cartridge filter with a 400kw (1/2 HP) Onga Leisuretime LTP400 pump. The problem I have is that the pump gets very noisy - loud buzzing noise - when the pressure in the...

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. On Friday I brewed an American amber with a recipe I just whipped up on the spot using the HBD recipator. Some of my best beers have come out of spur of the moment brewing sessions like this. Today I took a sample to see how its going. Down to...

Just had some very strange behaviour from a keg. Tonight I decided to crack my recently kegged Rye Wheat and see what my beer was like. I checked the pressure in the keg - was within my normal serving range. Popped a picnic tap on and pulled a nice cloudy glass of wheat beer. Very nice &...

All, Does anyone have any clues as to the right malts & hops to get something along the lines of Gage Roads IPA? I recently tried this, and really enjoyed it. Not quite as hoppy as I would have liked, but certainly a cut above the average, and of the standard I have come to expect from...

Hey, Great to see a BABB subforum on AHB! Good one!!!!!!! :beerbang: I'll point Jason at this site, so we continue get the newsletter & meeting reminders posted on here now that I'm no longer the BABB's News editor. cheers, Colin

All, Had an 'interesting' brew day yesterday. This was my first brew day since May. I can't believe it was so long between batches, but with a work trip to the UK, work getting increasingly busy, and moving house I simply have not been able to find the time to brew. I knew it was time to do...

Ross, I see from your .sig that you have made a Ruddles County clone on tap. How close did to you get? I'd be interested in seeing a recipe for this deliciously dry & bitter drop. Did you manage to get your hands on some Bramling Cross for it? cheers, Colin

The story so far ... On the Saturday I made my Squires Golden Ale recipe (as posted in the recipes forum last week). The mash, sparge, boil, chilling & transfer to fermenter were "by the numbers" with no drama. I aerated & pitched some nice active 1056 at about 8:30PM, with the wort at 22...

My brother-in-law and I have become unreasonably fond of James Squire Golden Ale - it being the beer he generally brings over when sharing my homebrew - and having plenty of Amarillo sitting in my freezer have decided to try to make something similar. Based on Googling and previous threads...

All, I have a baffling problem with a batch I kegged and bottled about a month ago. It was a fairly standard example of one of my English pale ales - pale malt, crystal malt, chocolate malt, flaked maize infusion mashed at about 67 degrees C. Target, Northdown & Goldings hops to around 35...

Having just purchased 1kg Northdown pellets, I thought I'd brew something a little different and make a 100% Northdown Golden Ale as a summer quaffer. Has anyone out there made an all Northdown ale? How did it turn out? I'd also appreciate some recipe tips for the UK Golden Ale style...

Anyone out there made a really good American amber ale? I'm looking for something in the style of Ballast Point Calico Amber, which I tried at the Yard House in Irvine, CA, and loved. I also imagine LC Rogers' Beer is like a light American amber. The style is darker than APA, and maltier with...

In September or October I'm off on a work trip to the UK and Spain - my first visit to England. I expect to spend a short time in London, but most of my time will be in the town of Chippenham, Wiltshire, about 150km west of London. I have a CAMRA guide which shows only one real ale pub in...

A friend who owns a commercial bakery gave me a bucket of commercial Invert Syrup. Anyone know the extract potential of this stuff so I can calculate its contribution to my OG? cheers, Colin
