I am going to make this brew and have some melanoidin malt thats been sitting around unused, could I use 1-2% of this or would that run contrary to adding the rice which is to thin out the beer? I also don't have any carapils should I just sub that for the same amount of pilsner malt or leave it...

How 'neutral', or not, does anyone think Pride of Ringwood would be? Got some sitting in the fridge that I have never used as I have only heard bad things about it.

Thanks I might try it with cascade. Also Northern Brewer could be interesting. So what would rye bring to the party?

Ge I hate to be a killjoy but I brewed this recipe and really wasn't happy with the results. The recipe good, the hops - Amarillo, bad. I have heard a lot of great things on this forum about Amarillo hops and brewed this recipe for the specific reason of trying them and have to say that I was...

I Made this recipe a couple of months ago and I have to say it is the best AG beer I have brewed of about 15 brews thus far. The only difference I made was to add 100g of black malt. The colour actually came out brown rather than a deep black from all the chocolate. All of the people I have...

How would a beer be different if you used 100% Pilsner malt do you think? So, this 'megaswill clone' is improved by the fact that it is a similar recipe without the added adjuncts, would it then be improved even further if you added a small amount of carapils or would that then stray too far...

Well you know what they say, 51% of statistics are made up on the spot. ;) I mentioned before a stout (or I agree with any 'big beer' suggestions),is because in my family at least it is a drink for special occasions, when family/friends come over usually in the winter. It's for drinking at 2...

An all time epic stout. Do a triple brew that will last for years and years!

As others have said you need to get in touch with some other brewers to do a brew with. But specifically IMHO I think you should first get someone (whom you respect) to watch over one of your typical brews. Then after the brew they will probably be able to tell you that you did X Y Z and a dozen...

Yes I have tried this a few times just recently, I guess a lot of people have probably done it. I have tried experimenting by splitting up the batch and fermenting half with ale yeast and half with lager yeast to see the difference. Although I haven't tasted any of the results yet still too...

Whats this no chilling business? Are people talking no chilling as in cooling the wort after the boil?? I thought that was pretty much mandatory. Sorry if I am way off the mark with this newbie question but if its not required it would cut down my brew day time a bit.

Why is there a fermenter strapped to your car seat? LOL

Yeh that is pretty much my understanding of it, from what I've read. Thank god for the micro brewery revival of recent years. This doco should be interesting though.

Ah yes, I see that now, sorry.

Ok, so now after an alluring title I will (depending on your opinion) let you down a little. Just saw this little article on The Age website which I thought was very interesting and thought I would share it for those who may not otherwise stumble across it. Its about the discovery of the origin...

Hmm ok...I have to go back on something I said. I posted that my laundry was a constant 16 degrees and after I posted that I thought 'You know I have never actually reliably measured that'. I had assumed that from the little temperature sticker on the side of the fermenter which sits at 16...
