Fellow Brrewers, I tasted my batch of german lager that i have fermenting in the garage tonight and was shocked to find it had a weird woody medicinal taste. It was 4.5 kg pils and 500g munich type 1. I am at a loss to describe why this has happened, as I have gotten the same taste from a...

Gents & Gals, I am going up to the macedon ranges for the weekend with the missus and wanted to know whether i should pop in and try some of their brews. I hear they are bottle conditioned, so I might get a couple and harvest the yeast.... Cheers and Beers, Andrew

Fellow Brewers, I filter my tap water using an attached brita water filter, that gives me nice soft water that works well for lagers etc. I was wondering whether i would need to add any salts to the water for a doing a stout? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, Andrew

Fellow Brewers, I put down an all grain kolsch last week, and noticed a pronounced butterscotch smell/taste. I am using wyeast 1007, and trying to ferment it as cold as possible (I bought one of those 100 can coolers from kmart) around 13-14 degrees. Is it possible that the lower fermentation...

Fellow Brewers, I had a few James Squire Amber Ales on tap yesterday, and was very impressed! Does anyone have a good all grain or partial recipe for this? Any were they able to get a good result? I looked on the website and they indicate it is made with 3 malts; pale, crystal and cara pils...

G'day AHB's, I am trying to find a decent and affordable Boiler for my new All Grain setup. Something in the range of 50-90l would be super. Any ideas where i can get something like this in Melbourne? I am getting sick of using el cheapo 19l Big W Pots. Cheers and Beer, Andrew

How long should i be mashing? I usually mash for 90 mins but have read that you can do it for longer. Are there any pro's or con's for doing a longer mash? Will i get better efficiency if doing a longer mash? Will i also get better efficiency if i use a higher water to grain ratio, say...

I was wondering what grain bill you folks would recommend for an all grain German Pilsner. I was thinking 5 kg of Pils malt with 2-500 grams of Munich for color and maltyness. Thoughts?
