G'Day All, I received tickets to the Ballarat Beer Festival from the brother-in-law for Christmas. Problem is that the festival takes place on SWMBO's birthday! I'm hoping to at least get something (beer) out of my xmas gift, and the price of one ticket aligns nicely with a Fresh Wort Kit. So...

It's always refreshing to hear someone tell it like it is regarding ingredients used in the mega breweries: "When I discovered that the late additions to the brew kettle of the German Hersbrucker hops were not being made properly and were of 2008 crop a couple months ago, I quickly made...

Are available here. What are your thoughts? Not a lot of golds on the list. A few I'm hoping to try at the World of Beer tonight.

G'Day team, Saw this in the (online) paper today and though you might be interested. Thirsty reading though for 8am at work. :icon_drool2: Return of the yeasty boys

Good Evening AHB's, I recently had a six-month hiatus from brewing. But as every all-grain brewer knows, unless you actually do a full mash etc. it's not brewing. Anyway, someone brought in a bag of lemons to work, so I decided to make lemon wine. So I made up the recipe and scaled it up to...

First brew in 6 months. Normal gravity Schwartzbier. Figure I'll reconnect the boil dry switch because Ross says it's a bad idea to bypass it. Makes sense too. Crown must have a reason for using it. Finish sacch. rest at 67. Element on to mash out. *Click* element off. *Click* on *Click*...

G'Day BIABers, If like me you were looking for a cake rack to keep your bag clear of the concealed element in your 40L Crown urn, read on. SWMBO picked these up from Aldi today. She said they cost about $6 for the pair, and the small one is a great fit. I haven't done a batch with it yet...

We've all been there.

G'Day All, Next week work is sending me to some back-water hick-town in Kentucky. I'm sure it's actually very nice but it's Kentucky and I've never been before so I'm taking some poetic license. So naturally I cruise the web for a while to see what there is to do there: Golf... Horse Ranch...

G'Day all, I'm hoping that someone out there who had used Wyeast 3864 can answer my question. The reason I'm asking is that I'm currently fermenting a Belgian Golden Strong Ale using a La Fin Du Monde culture. The temp is at 27 and there's vigorous activity. But SWMBO asked me to move it from...

Not sure about a beer cocktail, but the rest of it sounds pretty good (especially if you live in Melbourne) :icon_cheers: The amber revolution

So I was reading last night about using a hop tea into the fermenter as a means of counteracting the bitterness and flavour variations experienced using no-chill (linky). I was horrified to hear that DrSmurto's Golden Ale does not go well through the no-chill process, as this is my next brew and...

Last night I was reading through "Radical Brewing" by Mosher, and came across something interesting. An 'old fashioned' method of producing strong beers. As Randy says: "The process is straightforward. A mash is made as for a normal beer, then the runoff wort, instead of being boiled, is heated...

My ticket turned up on my desk today. Who else is going along? http://www.fedsquare.com/index.cfm?pageID=207
