Hi Guys, I have just found out that I am intolerant to yeast and Gluten (doesn't look good for someone who likes beer!). I have done some research and there are plenty of gluten free beer recipes around, that is the easy part. Has anyone done any research into how you can effectively filter...

Yes, my daughter was helping me bottle some beer, by passing me the new bottles as I filled them. It was only close to the end that I realised she had been licking all of excess sugar out of the tops of each bottle! :)

I notice a lot of people in this thread dry hopping at day 4-5. I am now at day 6, OG was 1043, now 1013, with a target fg of 1010ish. Would I be right to drop in the 15g cascade and Nelson now? Just don't want to go too early and lose flavour with the co2? Also, how long do you guys normally...

Just Popped one of these into the fermenter today......love my fat yak, so see how it turns out. Thanks again for all the input you can get fom this site......thanks guys!

Sounds interesting.....let me know what recipe you come up with?

Not sitting around for long......it is good to go.

Hi all, I have one of these sitting in my garage and thought I would put it to use. I have had a bit of a search around what I can do with this kit, but couldn't actually find too much. Anyone have a recipe floating around using this kit??

Well three weeks later and I have had one of these beers.....not too bad at all! Pretty exciting to be drinking beer that I made and it doesn't taste like crap! Bottling my second in a week or so, a Canadian blonde and am looking to do an IPA next. One of the best things I have done and will...

Hi all, I put down a Canadian blonde (using BE2) and an American ale yeast, on the 11th feb- OG was 1039. I was going to try dry hopping 20g of cascade on day 5 and leave for further 7 days. I checked today(day 5) and gravity is 1020, so not quite there yet. Should I stick with my original plan...

Thanks for all the help guys........I need to do a little more reading it would seem.

Ok......might try sprinkling on the top, leave for 30 mins and stir in......next time I will get better instruction for rehydration. So is it ok to just boil my cascade hops in water and use this as the base for the kit?

I was just going to boil the hops in water and then use this as the base for the kit?

The yeast is from craft brewer and it just says American ale 12gms?

Thanks guys. One last question re Yeast. I bought an American ale yeast from craftbrewer, I want to rehydrate before using. I have actually cooled some water down to 13degrees, so my end temp before adding yeast will be around 18 degrees. Should I rehydrate yeast in room temp water or in the 13...

Hi all, Going to try doing my first hops today and was going to just boil 20 grams cascade in two litres for 20 mins and then pour the whole lot into the fermenter (not straining the old hops out). The guy at the store I just bought from said that I should strain the hops first? Thoughts? I...

Thanks for that. Will have a crack this arvo and see how it turns out. Where do you guys get most of your dry ingredients?

Thanks mate, I will pop down there and have a look.

Hi guys, Looking to put down a brew on Monday and need to get some cascade hops. Craftbrewer is not open Monday, where else around east Brisbane can I get some? Thanks

Ok. Just confirming that I will be using BE1 not 2.

Hi guys, For my seond brew, i thought i would try and use some hops to get a bit more flavour. After asking for recipe ideas on this, I have decided to do the following: Canadian Blonde can BE 1 American pale ale yeast 20g of cascade hops for 20 mins (do I just bring 2 litres water to the...
