Canberra Folks. Noticed that the Gunghalin Big W store in Canberra, their Brewiser Lager and Wheat Kits we marked down. Normal $9.98 Now $5.98 They still had about 5 of each left when I was there. Note: No affiliation with Big W or Brewiser. I bought one of each. Cheers Brownie.

Yesterday I racked a lager from primary to secondary, all going well, apart from the tap not turning off when taking a sample for gravity, and spewing a bi tof beer on the garage floor, anyway I digress. Racked and put back into brewhaus and was pushing the airlock in when pop the @#*#*&^...

All, My better half bought some (10Kg) long grained rice, can't recall which brand, but for some reason is very dry and is no ther fav when cooked. So me being me and hate wasting anything, was wondering if it can be used in beer. I have searched and seen references to Rice Syrup, and to...

All, Yesterday the family gave me "Homebrewing for Dummies" as a birthday present, looks quite good. Anyone else had a chance to read it and provide their thoughts on this literary masterpiece? I have only just started reading, but looks OK, even if it is written by a yank!!! Cheers Brownie.

Have done a quick search, but not found anything about this. So is it possible to filter between primary and secondary? or Secondary and Bulk priming? or from bulk prime to bottle? I would imagine that filtering when bottling, would remove yeast, and thus affect the ability for carbonation...

Has anyone out there made a Gold Rush - Mabott's Ale before? I have had a look on hbkitreviews, but alas no comments. If anyone has, would be interested to hear their recipes. Brownie.

All, Would Saaz be fine for a Morgans Blue Mountain Lager, or should I stick to something like Tettnanger? Looking for a nice crisp Lager with some extra flavour. Other suggestions would be appreciated too. Brownie

I have brewed a dark ale from the following recipe. Tooheys Dark Ale 500g DDME 500g LDME 200g Dextrose Brewed 10 Days ~18 degrees. Racked to Secondary and temp is now sitting at around 15 degrees. Is 15 too low for a secondary fermentation? I plan to leave it in secondary for 2 weeks. Brownie.

All, How long is it safe to rack a beer for? Is two weeks OK? Is it different for an Ale V's a Lager? What are the benefits? What are the risks? Note: Once secondary is finished I will bottle (not a Kegger). So many questions, so little time. Brownie.

Hi all, I have a satchet of Brigalow Brewing Yeast (5g), not sure where or when I got it, but I have it. Was in Big W t'other day and spied some in there being sold (regular price) for $0.99, now me thinks this yeast maybe of lesser quality than my regulars (Safale s-04 and Saflager s-23)...

Hi, I worked out how to get cheap HB Concentrate kits from supermarkets. Spy some kits that are dented, and missing the yeast, ask 3 year old shop assistant (seriously they are getting younger), if they will be reduced. Watch 3 year old look at you like you just spoke some alien language...

I have just put down a Coopers Mexican Cerveza (well a few days ago), anyways, I bought a satchet of SafLager S-23 Yeast to use instead of the kit provided yeast. When I brewed it and was adding the SafLager, I thought bugger it, will add the Coopers Yeast too, so I did. It is brewing at about...
