Since a fire 3.30 am Tuesday morning (some electrical fault??) the Old Garage Brewery no longer exists. My entire brewing equipment is now three full fermenters. I will shortly set up The Out d Back Brewery on the picnic table followed later by The Phoenix Brewery. In the mean time I'm off to...

The answer seems to be "When you are in England". Just talking to my son who flew to England on Monday re a money transfer. He said he just had a long conversation with a barman that kept telling him that a stout was a stout and not a beer. The barman ended the discussion with " You have to be...

I am just about to weigh out the grain for a comparison of these two malts, will brew tomorrow. A special bitter recipe with the base malt and 300 gms of Bairds 90 EBC crystal, WLP013 London yeast. Plan to have a blind tasting of the two beers at a monthly ESB meeting in a couple of months time...

If you wanted to make an Australian version of an IPA what would be the ingredients? I was thinking of using POR and Galaxy hops, Coopers yeast or WLP Burton yeast (for the esters), Mainly base malt with a low percentage of low crystal. Some sugar to make it dry or low mash temp? Any thoughts?

I just bottled a barley wine (my first). When I was putting in the details I realised it was my 500th mashed beer (22L approx each). I still have 6 in fermenters so I have brewed 506 mash beers, 34 kits and bits, for a total 540 since Jan 1997. Makes me happy anyway.

Good Day This might interest a few Sydney brewers. Dropped into ESB Peakhurst yesterday and noticed that they had just got in Brewferm malts. They had munich, pale, aroma, special B and biscuit. While I had a beer with Mel I am not on a commission but I know that a lot brewers are interested in...

Good Day Drop into ESB Peakhurst to buy some hops and yeast this afternoon. Mel poured me a beer without saying anything. It was a good amber colour with a nice head and an elegant, spicey aroma. It had a clean but malty flavour backed with medium hop bitterness and good spicey hop flavour. It...
