Gracias amigos. All great suggestions, and very much appreciated. Agreed, the brews do get better with bottle conditioning. The alc% will increase another .5% with priming (didn't think about that). And I do like a hoppier brew. Unfortunately I can't dish it up to my VB-swilling friends. I...

Hi my revered brewing colleagues....I require your input. You see, I was experimenting... I put down a Belgian Ale. It was a BrewCraft 1.8kg Belgian Ale (LME) kit. Taking a line from a 1993 Australian HomeBrew mag, instead of sugars, I added more malt. In this case 1kg MasterBlend Caramalt...

Hey plooky. This world sure is full of co-inky-dinks. I was just thumbing through an old copy of the 1993 AusBeer #3 this afternoon, and they mentioned the very same. "You will need to buy an extractor, such as the 'Beer King' brand .. to get the beer out of the keg." Just Googled it, and...

Hey Bog I'm in the same boat .. a lot of bottles building up. I LOVE brewing and the peaceful "me" time that comes with it, except I'll drink maybe 4 beers per week. SO I find myself building up a rather large stock. That's one of the reasons I started mashing, so I could control the batch...

A timely question. My favourite brewing podcast just did an episode on gluten free brewing, with several links from the show. Here cheers

Onya Brownie fortunately the Gungahlin Shops are a mere 3 minutes drive ;-) cheers mate.

Greets Yet ANOTHER Canberra brewer ;-) Brownie, I love the idea of the insulated container to keep the fermenter cool. Adding salt to the bottles of frozen water will bring their temperature down below zero (up to -20 based on my readings depending on the amount of salt added). I'm going...

Hi guys Finite, I've never had a low carb beer using capped GBeer bottles. The mouth size of the bottle matches that of the pet bottles. The caps fit perfectly...just gotta make sure you put them on tight enough. I hand tighten the cap after bottling, then use one of those kitchen rubber...

I still use the pet bottles that came with my Coopers Home Brew kit a year ago. They've been through 11 batches now, no problems. Like many of you, I rinse the bottles out after use then store them up for sanitising day. I rack to a secondary fermenter. After cleaning out my primary, I...

I love Corona, so I bought a can of Coopers Cerveza, hoping to get somewhere in the ballpark. Made it up and loved the sample I took before bottling, although I too thought it could perhaps do with a stronger flavour. So I picked up another can and made it up to 18L to increase the flavour a...

My recommendation, not to mention many thanks, go to Cannabaceae. I ordered 2 of the large hops he had for sale on eBay. Not only did they arrive promptly, they were very well packed, and in great condition. Many thanks as well Canna for the great planting advice you offered. extremely...
