I have been brewing for quite a few years and recently over the last year I have found that I have not brewed almost anything at all. I put it down to one of these: 1. I have had no brew buddies for a long time now (due to us all relocating) thus it is getting less social by the day 2. I put...

I thought I would throw it out there that I moved to Mornington a few weeks back and an finally back to brewing. If anybody local wants to have a casual beer and share in some knowledge I'd be happy to join. I'm not into snobbery but I do love my gadgets and building stuff. Some of you know me...

I am not sure whether anyone on here saw this or not but I think it's a great project for those who want to use a cheap thermostat replacement for their brew fridge and schedule lagering, etc. A cheap and common platform that is now more useful? I think that's a cool thing... Anyone tried it...

I am looking for any issues with my recipe, I am going for a nice fruity-piney pale that's not too harsh. I will be brewing this in about 2 hours time unless I hear any good reasons not to. Recipe: Cobbers (INSERT NAME HERE) Style: American Pale Ale TYPE: All Grain Recipe Specifications...

Hi Guys, I am looking for a little advice here, I have not assembled an AIPA recipe but this is what I have so far... Please be aware that I am using a home-built braumeister type system so I have limits on my grain bill. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 27.58 l...

This is my first ESB, I have some some premium bitters (special) but want to go the extra step ahead. I like a few styles of ESB, but of course I love Holgate especially when on tap. Can you please have a look and share any comments that you might have. Cobbers Best Extra Special/Strong...

I just opened up a pack of wb06 yeast (safbrew) and hydrated it slightly in the bottom of my extract can. I filled up my fermenter with my indregients and I expected it to be at about 26 degrees, but just before I pitched i double checked and saw it was at 36. I didn't pitch but I have this...

Hi guys, Well I finally started my first brew yesterday morning and everything seemed to go to plan. The mix went well and everything was nicely sterile. I pitched my yeast at 25 deg but saw no immediate activity, admittedly I didn't know what to expect so I thought I would give it some time. I...
