Ladies and Gents, I have been given a challange on making MONTEITH'S RATA HONEY & SPICE FLAVOURED SUMMER ALE - of course by a couple of Kiwi's..... Now, despite going over the pond last year for a weeks worth of looking, I have never tasted this apparently fine beer. So, I have had a quick...

I have a mate with diabetes that he can control and he drinks low sugar beer such as Hahn 3.5 Super Dry. His family gave him a starter kit a while ago and he wants to brew something, if he was to use half the Dex will that be ok or should he be using something else as the fermentable part?

I had a quick search, but could not find my answer, dumb question to those who know. I have been a kit brewer for a while and plan to go all grain next year after I nail down a few more things. Finally got a temp controller for my brew fridge - time to play with better yeasts (better than the...

As the title suggests, keg kept in fridge ~4C, same beer style replacing it, do I need to clean it every time? Or can I get away with a second batch?

I did a search and didn't find a definite answer.... Looking for an extract recipe for a "Dark and Stormy" What kit of ginger beer kit would you recommend and dex? I have at hand: 1 bottle of Bundy rum normal stuff 700ml 1 bottle of Bundy Red Label 1L What would you fine people recommend -...

Hi All, I have in my fermentors a Coopers Larger and a Coopers Dark Ale. I have 3 packs of hop pellets: Amarillo, Cascade & Citra. I was thinking that any will be good to dry hop for the larger and am thinking to give the Citra a go, but unsure what to use for the dark ale - or just leave it...

Was in a rush the other week to keg a brew and didn't have time to clean the fermentor (left the lid off as well).... Anyway, 2 weeks later (tonight) I decided to give it a clean. Oh, the rancid smell! I have used hot water from the kettle a few times, that sodum cleaner a few times, the...

Hi All, Looking for a bit of advice. Looking to dry hop in secondary before kegging. One of our sponcers is selling hop pellets in 90g packs and I'd like to grab a few packs and have a play. So, as a starting point what type of hops would I use and how many grams for the following (assume...

I'm a long term kit brewer who is getting into the "bits" at this stage (steeping grains and tea bag hops), with the plan to AG when I get the gear. Quick question: What does the grain & hops cost for an average single brew?

New to kits and bits, but experienced with kits in general - mainly ales. Have played with some steeping and tea bag hops and happy with that - I am willing to buy some proper hops and add them as required. Now - I don't have a fermenting fridge set up yet, but have a method of keeping temp to...

I have been using an adjustable shifter to get the in and out posts of my keg off as I don't have a deep enough socket for the job. Planning to go shopping tomorrow at Repco, what size should I get for this (have a full kit, but nothing deep enough)? Cheers, Kuzzy

I have just scored a big Kelvinator fridge from eBay for $0.10 works a treat! As everyone was partying on New Years I snapped up a bargain! Now, I will be putting a few taps through the front 4 in total with drip tray. So, what are the better taps to use for ales and larger...

I am going to try my first kit with some additional stuff - the additonal stuff is new to me... Morgans Amber Ale Amber/Brown Ale Pack (Crystal Malt, Cholclate Malt) Brew Booster (Dextrose, Malt, Corn Syrup) Finishing hops - Cluster (in a tea bag) Now as the man in the shop said: Do the tin...

Hi all, first post. I have been bottling home brew since 1989 off and on and love it (just simple kits, mainly Morgans). However, I am now sick of bottles. Some questions I would like to ask: 1. Should I just buy a two keg set up (to get going) with a gun as per eBay and add as the...
