OK, I have looked for my last topic on this but can't seem to find it. I made a chilli beer a few months ago and it has turned out AWESOME. Ingredient were can of Tooheys Lager, 1 kilo dextrose and 9 red chilli's chopped up into fermenter. Fermented for 27 days. Chilli's simmered for 5 minutes...

I am a little dissappointed with the results of Pride of Ringwood. I put it in with a brew that I love and it turned out a little like beer out of a tap that has dirty lines at the pub.

I have 60 plus PET bottles for sale. About a dozen are empty and the rest are not. I am only asking $30. The empties are sterilized and ready to use and the others are ready to put in the fridge.

How long is too long in the fermenter for a lager at 16-18 degrees? Just bottled a batch that smells a little like vinegar but NO growth on top. It was in about 5 weeks.

Well I have tasted my first beer out of a PETE bottle, pured it into a clean glass and it is shite!!!! I have had a carton of stubbies of the same beer and I don't like PETE!!!! It has less carbination, no head when poured into the galss and is generally disappointing.

As the tittle states. Has anyone used this and what was your results? I got a free can with ny kegerator and put it down with 1.2kgs of dextrose tonight.

OK, now I am getting adventurous. I am really happy with my progress in brewing. Now I want to try chilli beer. How do I add it? I have masterfoods dried and crushed chilli. I also have some chillis pickled, that I grew myself. How much and what is best to add? I only have a couple of cans of...

Very early on in my starting weeks of HB, I couldn't wait to taste my beer. I drank all but 2 or 3 of my beers, only leaving a couple of long necks (thanks again manticle) and the batch number 5 is what I want you to look at in the picture. I only left it 9 days (I know, impatient) in the...

I just scored a fridge with 2 taps, lines and 2 kegs off ebay for $350. I pick it up on Saturday, now all I need is a gas bottle. Anyone got any suggestions for where to get it from on the Gold Coast? By the way, I've got no idea what to do when I get it. Anyone want to come over and show me and...

Probably been covered, but here goes. I had a piece of chocolate then a mouthful of beer and was really nice. How do I put it into my brew? I have about 400 grams of the chocolate left. Here is my idea, I boil my dextrose in 2 litres of water to mix it, I am thinking of putting the chocolate in...

OK, I know I am pretty stupid and useless at this Home Brewing, BUT I have a real problem with my SG readings. Is it at all possible for them to go up? I have had a couple of batches that I swear are at about 1012, then 3 days later they say 1014. WTF am I doing wrong?? Is this normal or am I...

What is the best way to get the brew from one fermenter into the second without causing oxidation? I am looking to start doing this instead of adding finnings, plus I am looking at kegging when I can afford the initial set up.

This isn't from me, it's an ad on freecycles. Just thought it would help someone as I am set up with all the bottles I need now, heres the link http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gold_coast_f...e/message/40496

What is the least and most time you should leave finnings in the fermenter for?

As the tittle says. Ingredients were Tooheys Lager (can goop) Coopers Dextrose and a Brigalow finishing hops half tablet the day after putting it down on 25/9/2010? OG was 1034, todays sg is 1006. Smells like any other brew I have put down.

OK, I know some people may not want to answer me, thats fine. I tried the suggestion of putting yeast in a 2ltr bottle of apple cidar. My question is, what do I do now that it has fermented? Do I transfer it into another 2 ltr bottle and prime it with dextrose or just drink it as it is?

OK, I do need to say sorry for last night. I had a very close friend died at the age of only 21. I didn't think it effected me the way it seems that it has. I shouldn't have said some of the things I did say and for that I am sorry.

Damn, with all this fun that is going on, I forgot what my real questions were!!!

I know this site is mostly made up of home brewers, BUT who actually drinks thier beer and gets pissed???? I thought drinking beer was to get you pissed, maybe I'm wrong................ OH and I just had a blood test and my LIVER IS FINE hahahahahahahahahahaha
