@JimmyTheHuman Just posting back my progress. My brother and I tested one of the meads after 4-5 weeks. Many delicious flavours in the after taste, nicely potent. Would still benefit from more maturity. I think no carbonation was the way to go, I still have the other demijohn mellowing away...

Alright just finished bottling it, did a taste, the alcohol is quite strong but there is a nice blend of fruit flavours and spices in the aftertaste, will be great after it sits for a while. I think getting the oranges back out of the demijohn took longer then the actual bottling. ...and now I...

G'day, thanks for the replies. @Jimmy I did not rack the mead at any point, the recipe said not to. I'll be glad to post the results after I bottle for you. @Dante Thanks for the interesting links, can never have to much info. I will try hold off drinkin' em for atleast 4 weeks. I've been...

G'day, I've had a JAO Beginner Mead brewing away, it's now day 55 and it's very clear. I'm going to bottle it shortly I just have a few questions first before I do: 1) I read normal meads (as opposed to sparkling) are flat and you don't add any sugars during bottling/conditioning, is this also...

Hi, I have had a lager brewing for 3 weeks now, its SG has hit around 1010 so I've started chilling it. After a week I will bottle it but I was just wondering what temp I should leave the bottles at while they condition. I'm guessing a week at 12*c-ish then another week chilled but this is my...

Great advice thanks guys, couldn't brew to save my life without the people on this forum. ;)

Greetings again my brothers in brewing! Lately I've been on a brewing hiatus due to my areas temperatures, hitting ~26*C during daytime and as low as -1*C overnight however I can still not shake the itch to brew more tasty beer. I'm toying with the of making my first lager, using my beer fridge...

@ghhb You scalp your prize to an AG'er. ;)

The 8 year oak barrel aged is a great drop, I remember my boss got me a bottle back in '08 for covering some extra work shifts so he could go on holiday. :lol:

Still waiting for my FWK, damn easter slowing up the post. :[

:icon_offtopic: Nice idea with the stealth keg, I don't think the bumps would hurt it too much. When I used to run the drink cart at the local golf course we just chucked all the grog in an oversized esky with a bit of ice, never got any complaints of shaken up beer.

All good stuff, got my shopping list all set. Thanks gents!

Might have to buy 'em all in singles and make a night of it. :D

I've never been a big fan of darker beers or stouts, but I'm wanting to give it another go because I don't want to ignore a whole style of beer I could be brewing out of poor taste. So I'm wondering what commercial stout would you recommend to primarily a Lager/Ale drinker to come over to the...

If you about to order the grain why not just add on a pack of Amarillo with it?

I knocked up the K&K version of this and tried a bottle last night (8 days after bottling because I read Golden Ale is better fresh) although it wasn't as carbonated as I'd like yet, had a great creamy head that wouldn't go away and the taste was nothing short of perfect, far better than any...

1 Pack of US-05 is 13g, if you only use 6.5g per 20L batch you will underpitch.

If you have no car license just order it from AHB sponsors, ingredients straight to your door!

The personal bickering in this thread is just detrimental to it's cause. Maybe take the dick measuring to another place?
