Hi all, Yesterday was bottling time for the beer from two of my fermenters. My kegs are full, as is a cupboard full of longnecks, I only had enough empties to account for about 30 Litres of the 40 Litres I was to bottle. I decided to use this as an opportunity to try something new, a fruit...

Hi all, Well, I'm back after a 6 month break from the brewing scene and now that I'm back I intend on being bigger and better than ever! Whilst I wasn't actually brewing the last few months, I sure did a lot of thinking about brewing and as a result I've wound up with a new brewery project on...

Hi all, Im throwing together an Aussie Ale recipe to brew up tomorrow for ANZAC day. In true Aussie Ale form Im pulling out the Pride of Ringwood and the cane sugar and seeing what I can do! Planning to mash cool, ferment cool and drink cool. :beerbang: :P Any thoughts or tweaks? BeerSmith...

Hello all, Following the thread on Das Braumeister my tinkering mind has got to thinking... (Im sure I've seen this idea shot down before but cannot remember why...) What would be the potential issues with a HLT/MLT/Kettle in one system? Eg. 50L S/S vessel Elect heating elements 20L Grain...

Friggin cheats.... :angry:

I guess 23 doesn't quite fit here normell! ;) Cheers :beer: JS Edit: Just seen your edit!

Greetings brewfriends, I woke up this morning thinking about beer :o (actually its nothing unusual... im sure you all agree! :super: ) in particular I was thinking about my mates' preferences in beer. (anything "draught" and the less taste the better!) It got me thinking... I'd like to brew...

Hi all, Tried the Cascade Amber Ale during the week and have to say I was very, very happy with it. Beautifully balanced malt and hops flavours with a nice aroma and decent body to it. Now, I have a BIG disliking to the brewery's 'Premium' range and havn't heard good things about their blonde...

Hello all, On the weekend I cracked open a bottle of Pilsner that I brewed a good six or seven weeks ago only to get smacked in the mouth with a terrible 'medicinal' type of taste. :( This is particularly distressing and frustrating for me due to this being my first ever mini mash and...

Hello brewers, Just after a bit of feedback on the method I recently used to farm some yeast. I have never attempted this before and want to know if im on the right track. After racking a brew into secondary last week I thought I might try to revive some of the yeasties out of the trub that...

Greetings brew-gods, Need your advice. Keep in mind im currently a partial masher still finding my way! Aim: I have some hope to acheive a nice Amber Ale along the lines of that of my namesake brewery. Ingredients at hand: 2kg Amber Ale grain, 1kg Munich grain, 500g Crystal grain, 1kg Amber...

Hello all, I just put down my first ever mini mash on the weekend!!!! :super: Being that im an impatient fella (and inexperienced with brewing at this level), I thought id call on some of you (enviably) more experienced brewers to give me a rundown of what to expect from my first partial...

Hi all, Thought I might just post up the picks of the backyard beer dispenser I put together over my christmas break. Cheap project in the end: Fridge- nothing, freebie from 'SWMBO's' folks Font- nothing, free 3in stainless tube offcut. Cut and welded with base plate at work. Tap- around...

Hey all, Just wondering about making a Beez Neez style Kit beer.... I know lots of people will say "Do a search..." but unfortunately a search only turns up all grain adaptations of the honey wheat brew... Has anyone made something similar from a can??? :huh: Was thinking just a low...

Hi all, Still a newb to brewing at the moment but pretty keen to advance quickly. As a result of this I've just bought my first lot of Hop pellets so i can have my first experiment with designing a nice tasting brew. Come home with some Hallertau and Saaz pellets and some Light LME. At home i...

Hi guys, Fairly new to brewing and just looking to get my head around a few things concerning kegging. Firstly, what sort of cost is involved with hiring C02 bottles from BOC or someone like that? Also how often would a small tank on a one keg system need re-filling? Secondly, what sort of...

Hi all, Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on temperature ranges for best bottle conditioning? I've read some people saying to let them condition for a certain time at higher temp range (around 20 degrees) and then for a longer period of time cold conditioning at around 10 - 12 degrees...

Hello brewmasters, This is my first post as i've only been brewing (attempting to) for three weeks now and am yet to find my brewing mojo! My question is related to the Cidery taste i experienced in my Coopers Pale Ale after impatiently testing it after only one week of bottle conditioning. I...
