Well I have just started to taste my kegged CAP and it has one of the telltale signs of underpitching...banana aroma and flavour. I thought I pictched a decent amount of yeast but I think I rehydrated in 1040ish wort and hence probably reduced viability by half. The effect was probably...

Does anyone have a good idea of the mineral profile of Brissie water? I live in metro Brisbane if that helps Cheers and thanks in advance

I meant to mash my pils grain for a german pils and mistakenly mashed my grain for a belgian dubbel...it was late in the day after a few beers with mates Anyway, I added gypsum to about 150ppm sulfate to the mash water and reduced the IBU to take this water profile into account. So now I...

I just tasted the first bottle of my Nelson Sauvin ale. The grain bill and hopping schedule are as follows. 1 tsp gypsum for a 15L batch. Yes, horrible efficiency !!! This tastes great....nice quenching malt with good hop bite and flavour. I love Nelson Sauvin...quite a complex hop aroma and...

I know this sounds quite wussy but is anyone going to the BABBs meeting leaving from Morningside area that is happy to give me a lift? A free tallie of my very own beer is the payment :icon_drool2: failing that option would anyone share a cab?

I tried this method after several batches of BIAB. I was tired of mucking around with 5kg of hot, wet grain and thus my new process came into being. I mashed inside the bag, in a standard 30L fermenter. This method alows recirculation of wort and frees up the pot for the production of sparge...

Hello all. This is a 40L conical made from mdpe with two 3/4 stainless ball valves. This has not been used. I am after $200 This is perfect for primary and secondary fermentation...no need to transfer. Just open the bottom valve and you have yeast for the next batch and no break material to...

I love this beer! :icon_drool2: Clean bitterness, light quenching malt and hop flavour and aroma galore. Has anyone cloned this with good results? It seems like it has perhaps 50% wheat malt and I know it has Galaxy added towards the end of the boil.

If you could quantify/guestimate the hop versus malt flavour components of Fat Yak how would you score it? I'm thinking purely in terms of taste I just had some alongside my pale ale with a simcoe and riwaka hop blend and it was much less hoppy. I would say 55:45 hop:malt flavour, whereas mine...

I'm having one of these now and enjoying it. I'm wondering what is the malt bill. Is it based on pale ale malt or equiv with a bit of vienna and then a wee bit of biscuit malt and caramel malt? :icon_drunk: Has someone made a killer clone? Cheers Matt

I thought I'd share my latest brew. Lost a bit of the wort as it went in the fermenter as I did not want all the break material in there so the final volume was a bit low. I dry hopped with 28g Riwaka flowers for 3 days. I just tasted a bottle with a few dregs after 2 days in the bottle as I...

Does anyone have any experience using this hop to make an extract beer? I am aiming to produce a clean, hoppy ale using Safale US 05 yeast and light dried malt. Does it work well on it's own as a bittering and aroma hop?
