Hi guys... Anyone have a good guiness recipe they could share? I've tried a few things in the past with my own experiments and nothing has come close...either the taste is way off or it's just not thick enough. Any suggestions?

Hi guys, I'm a fairly new brewer...I make decent beer and I enjoy the beer I brew....but the mouthfeel of my beer could be improved hugely (as could a number of other things...but this is the most pressing I think). The beer has a somewhat fizzy feel to it - and I notice when I crack a bottle...

Hi all, Looking at putting down a Mulloys Irish stout kit this weekend - wondering if anyone has done this one before, how it turned out, or what to add in terms of hops/malts etc to get the best out of the beer? Any handy hints would help :) Cheers

Hi all, Looking at putting down another Morgans Dark Ale in the coming weeks - just fishing for some suggestions as to what grain I should steep to accompany the kit? If you could also recommend amounts etc for a 23L batch? I'm new to this whole thing. Some hops suggestions would be...

Hi all, Just wondering what you guys do as far as washing beer glasses? I've heard there are special steps to take to preserve the beer-friendly aspects of the glass, and products to use to avoid detergent flavours and stuff in beers. Any tips?

Hi guys, Just about to do some brewing - have soaked my fermenter in sod. perc. overnight - just wondering if I should give it a quick hit with some iodophor aswell?

Hi all, Just bought some yeast - now from what I;ve read, most quality yeast should be refrigerated? Is this true? The yeast I bought (brew cellar or something) wasn't refrigerated in the store - but should I fridge it now, or is the damage already done?

Hi guys, Just a quick question- I have a fermenter which I plan to store (whilst in use) in an out of order bar fridge, to hopefully stabilise the temperature (I'm thinking that the insulation in the fridge will help reduce temp fluctuations). Is this a good idea? I'm thinking that, when...

Hi all, Any brewers here from the Shoalhaven area?

Hi all, After reading almost everything I could find on this site and all the advise I've sought for different things, I visited my LHBS (a small section in the local Mitre 10) and did some shopping. I've collected some stuff based on a recipe my mate used to clone Tooheys Old - and I really...

Hi all, Another question - anyone have any handy hints for washing the labels off bottles in preperation for home brew bottling? The paper labels (such as tooheys new) are no worries, hot water does the job for those . I'm having problems with the plastic labels (such as tooheys extra dry or 5...

I need a slightly larger capper bell for capping my beer in champers bottles. Anyone have one they don't use? Willing to pay $$$ Let me know, Cheers

Hi all, As a fairly new brewer, I realise this question may sound ridiculous. But I'd like to know - can beer be bottle into wine bottles? I currently have a shortage of beer bottles, and whilst scouring the house for any I missed, I came across a few empty wine bottles, and wondered if I...
