    Cloning 'Stale' Beer?

    Apologies in advance for the long post: As a home brewer I have spent the last five years mainly brewing beers that are either clones of commercial beers or attempts to hit particular styles (especially for comps). Over the last year or so however I have been thinking that this might be much...

    Alternative uses for Starsan?

    Just solved an annoying house problem with good old Starsan. We have a 30 year old house whose two main front windows had significant water marks on the exterior when we moved in. May have been cleaned with bore water (we have a tap in our backyard) or just built up over time. Tried the usual...

    Instant Light Beer!

    I am sure someone has already thought of this but a quick forum search turned up nothing. Recently I setup a keg of soda water, chilled rain water from my tank force carbed at 30PSI, left for a couple of hours, and then hooked up at serving pressure (12PSI). The results have been awesome, very...

    Testing CO2 regulator pressure

    Just assembling a new portable keg setup. I have two reg/Co2 bottles, a 3.5kg bottle with standard two stage reg for carbing and a sodastream bottle with one gauge mini-reg for pushing out beer in the porta-keg setup. The mini-reg is a little basic looking and I am worried that it may not be...

    Random Thoughts.........

    So I went and played a round of golf at the local course this afternoon. I don't play that often so of course the score was high, plenty of shots into the woods, but a nice walk all the same. On the topic of beer the golf club (and we are talking a town of 10,000 people on the Mid-North Coast)...

    American Hop Combo

    Just bottled an APA based on 21st Amendment 'Bitter American'. The thing that hit me on bottling was the hop flavour/aroma. Its a 'not out of the ordinary' combo of Cascade at 15mins, Centennial at flame-out, and a dry hop of 50/50 Centennial/Simcoe but man it just screams 'Classic American...

    Another perspective on saving money by HB'ing

    I didn't get into to home brewing to save money, I like the whole cross between alcohol/science/cooking etc and of course the creativity and freedom of brewing what I want. Tonight I have just placed my next order with our lovely sponsors Craftbrewer. I tend to order four beers ahead to ensure...

    Mashmaster Minimill Screw Size?

    I am a bit of a tool-tard, just working on mounting my Mashmaster minimill on a bit of 12mm ply. The mill came with no instructions specs, I managed to track down the jpg of the exploded diagram. My question is what size screws go in the mounting holes? Cheers Stew

    Using Coke As An Adjunct?

    Had a thought come to me last night. Using a small amount (300-400mL) of Coke in a malty pale ale. The sugar will ferment out and you should be left with the caramel/drying caffeine flavours that should compliment the beer. Might give it a go an report back. Stew PS. Not suggesting the use of...
