Doing a pils this weekend just wondering if its worth the wait to make a starter with the liquid yeast, or do I just go a dry yeast is there a big flavour difference between them, and is the extra time and money spent worth it in the end flavour of the beer?

Just reading a few old threads about brewing a salted caramel beer but the discussion finished with no one really posting there results, maybe I should take that as a bad sign. Any way can any one comment on the subject that's had experience with this style?

I was thinking about doing some smaller batches using a 15 litre cube witch holds 17 litres when completely full . I will be transferring hot wort from the kettle into the cube letting it cool and letting all the break and hop matter settle to the bottom, all sounds pretty normal so far but...

After making a starter for euro lager using yweast 2124 lager, I fermented 4 litres at 18c. Tasting the starter I noticed a very familiar flavour there was something very mega swill about it, six months had past and a mates bucks party is coming up he loves VB so I set about trying my hardest...

Just tried this calibration brew from Still water from the U.S and the Mornington Brewery this afternoon. Bloody fantastic, if you are in the area get down to the Mornington brewery and try it for your self could have stayed there all arvo if I wasn't bloody driving. Next brew will be a saison...

Just wondering if any body has come across these fermenters, not a conical but stainless none the less. I am about due to update from plastic but don't want to spend that much on a conical, these might be alright any body else had experience with this type...

Just came back from a weekend up Healesville way and visited the White rabbit brewery, quiet an impressive looking set up. I tried their beers and was a little bit taken back, pretty average to poor would have been the score card. Then went just down the road to Buckley's brewery and bought a...

Brewed a Dortmunder export (D.A.B)last November, let it lager in a cool room at work at 2c for 3 months. took the keg on a camping trip on Australia day. The flavour was ok but nothing much like the euro lagers that I usually enjoy. I decided to leave the keg out of the kegerator when we...

Planning on doing a simple single malt pils and a early POR and half hallertau addition 22 IBUS going for the S-23 yeast but planning on starting at higher temps say around 14c and letting it go as far as 17c to try and get a style similar to the Aussie mega swill but with a lighter malt...

Just pondering the thought of doing a bit of home kilning in the oven. Was thinking about buying a 25kg bag of pils for lager and pilsner brews then instead of ordering small amounts of Munich or darker malts I was thinking about using an oven tray and giving it a go myself. I was just reading...

Just trying to get some feed back on what the difference in flavour is, if any on the local Joe white export pils malt and say best maltz pils . I will be trying the Joe white pils this weekend on a helles, am I wasting my time?

Just wondering if any body knows if the Grain and grape fathers day specials apply to their grain book or if its just for the equipment. Have to give em call Monday.

Cloned the green flash DIPA about 2 months ago has to be the best beer I have had on the home tap, a little bit on the heavy side coming in at 7.5%abv. The grain bill is very simple only two malts but a lot of hop additions. Heres a recipe I was thinking of doing in honour of the big green...

Have couple of beers and watch this video (Sam Calagione of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery) http://youtu.be/Xj7cbEBbbvU

My brew days usually start with a lot of high expectations and great excitement and that usual thought process that most of us have on brew day that this brew is going to be the best one yet. But by the end of the six to seven hour brew day the legs are a bit wery and the energy and the...

Had my kegerator for a while now i dont think im drinking the beer quick enough to keep the lines clean before the keg runs out, thats when i clean the lines . Started to get a bit of crap coming into the head of my beers, just invested in a 1 liter inline cleaner. Plan on giving the lines a...
