Hey Trav (and Fent) Can you please stop using AHB as an advertisement for your beer. What you do is great, but enough is enough. No need to bump yourself today - just did it for you.

It would be a whole lot easier to ease back on the booze (and other substances) if some guy hadn't crashed the economy. Apparently even Michael Phelps is finding it hard. I thought he had a pretty good year.

Can you buy mouth party on ebay? wawawewah

Not sure if this post warrants a reply - but anyway. At the moment, alcohol tax reform is a minefield. A government who is actively trying to protect us from binge drinking, R2D companies trying to find loopholes, and our craft brewers who are struggling to pay their WEEKLY excise tax. The...

Was once privy to a discussion between senior brewers for Lion Nathan and Fosters Group talking about brewing beers under license. Apparently the Heineken folks take brewing mediocre beer so seriously that they have a globetrotting auditing team who make sure that the licensees have parameters...

After now 10 pages, perhaps this thread should be called "What makes homebrewers just so ignorant and self righteous?"

A lot of you have missed the point. The beer is not crap (ie faulty in some way). It achieves what it was meant to - please re-read the AIBA guidelines for Australian Lagers. That your palate prefers something with higher hop and malt profile doesn't make the alternative - what you call...

Actually work for a microbrewery - my weekends are my own. BTW I prefer a good AHB thread than Pierce Brosnan as 007. Sean Connery or even Daniel Craig would kick his arse. Brosnan is a pussy.

I'm a brewer. There is an old English saying - "if you can't see the brewery, don't drink the beer!" There are some very high quality filtered beers that travel in bottles from Europe, across the equator in shipping containers that reach 50degC inside, and arrive in fairly good nick, though...

This thread is v interesting. Firstly, I find the name of it pretty ordinary, and full of generalisation. I am assuming that by the term "megaswill" that Sponge (and others who have replied) implies adjunct lagers. Adjunct lagers are a style of beer all by themselves, and need to be...

It is a bit elaborate. What are you trying to achieve by all this? You're obviously after something of a hop flavour, so my best advice is to give it a decent whack of bitterness (ie at beginning of boil), and some at the end (some aroma) and then dry hop post ferment with some nice oily yank...

Brew a cider called Dickens

Whatever. Just promise me that you'll pull them to bits often. I have never seen ball valves in breweries, and have never used them myself. All I know is that there is so much crap than can get stuck behind the ball in the valve - even when you put caustic through them - that you're better off...

I believe I said butterfly valve which need to be dismantled, cleaned and reassembled. I am happy to race you.

don't use ball valves - they are not sanitary. I know lots of home brewers use them, but judging from those photos, there is no chance that you will get them clean without dismantling them, which you can't. Don't brew until they are cleaned or replaced. Because of their mechanism, there is no...

banana flavour is what most weiss brewers aim for
