Good timeing for me on this thread ! I made a dr smurtos golden ale yesterday (about the fifth one ive made now). But instead of useing amarillo as the 60 min bittering addition I decided to substitute 14% AA Pacific Jade to the same IBU's . It would seem amarillo is in high demand now $$$$$$...

Recently I was lucky to receive a few bags of hop pellets from a mate who has a mate who grows hops in NZ The hops I got are as follows Green Bullet 12% AA Pacific Jade 14% Supa Alpha 12.5% Nelson Sauvin 11.4% I was going to try each in a single hop and single base malt AG beer to showcase...

Yep you have got it in one, but first he needs weening off. You cant rush these things

Hello all I was wondering if anyone had any tips for filling a corny keg from 375ml commercial beer bottles. Reason being I am making a mate of mine a three tap kegerator for exchange for his bobcat help at my property. I dont wish to present it to him empty so was going to...

My local Dan Murphys at East Maitland only caters for the mega swill market (in beer). Not much variety at all. The most "exotic" (for want of a better word) is James Squires Golden Ale, and they only stock these in individual beers - no cartons to be found !!!!! :angry: You may also see...

This is one of my favourites, everyone loves it. I have not felt the need to fiddle with the recipe as yet but today I throw a cube of Dr Smurtos golden ale(?) onto a yeast cake of S-189. Mainly through shear laziness. Ill see how it goes and report what I come up with

You cant go wrong with dr smurtos recipe, its a top drop. I just finished my first keg of it. No tweaking of the recipe necessary in my opinion, Tastes great young too :icon_drool2:

Have you considered useing a collar. Lots of advantages to be had. I had a font but soon switched to the collar setup, I was getting a half schooner of hot beer with my first pour even with a flooded font.

Its going to be a monumental first AG pok. With all this effort your going to........ :rolleyes:

What infection? She will be all right useing a virgin arm :D You wont get away with it next time

Was simply useing S04 this time round. I have made Steves KOBA before useing nottingham and the keg didnt last long :P I guess its destined to be a stout. The right time of year too I suppose

I got a grain bill from the local brew shop and was hopeing someone could answer this question. Is this too much roast malt? What can I expect it to turn out like? The recipe (Steve's KOBA clone) called for 25grams of roast but instead I beleive there is more like 250grams. Should I go ahead...

Thankyou Steve for the development and work you have done on this Kent old brown recipe. I made it to your recipe and by jingys it shits on the origingal. A excellent drop indeed, its very good young and with my first tasteings from the keg brought a broad smile and this posting. :D...

Three ring burner RIP

Its so good it gets its own seat :lol:

I recently changed my routine sparge temp from 70 degrees to 79 and have gained 10%.

Heres my "Bubble and Squeak" pilsener made from putting some left overs together. Very sad to have run the keg dry, it was just hitting its straps. I will definately make again but next time will age it

Nah dont know about bats My problems rats

Tony I know nothing quote end quote :P

Yes I too beleive there is a lot to this, In my mind you have to put in the hard yards early in the childs life so issues like this dont become too difficult to handle when they reach their teens.
