    Tokyo Breweries, Pubs, etc - Recommendations Please

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend any good places for some good craft beer in Tokyo? I'll be over there in late October / Early November (for the Wallabies v Japan game for the Rugby fans out there....??) Is there anywhere you could recommend? I will be staying in the Minato area, and will...

    Whirlpool Paddle...?

    Hi people! Does anyone know if you can get these (in the link below) in Australia? I have seen them on eBay, but the shipping from the US is pretty expensive!!! Does anyone use something similar to get a good whirlpool? Cheers

    Melbourne Bottle Shops

    Hi All, Can anyone recommend where I should go to get some good Craft Beer in Melbourne, to take home? I'm not from the area (obviously), but will have some time there this week, so I wouldn't mind upping the stocks in the bar fridge. I'll be in the city, and around Moonee Ponds area. Thanks...

    Pirate life iipa

    Bridge Road also do a mid strength IPA - Little Bling. I've never experienced so much flavour from a mid strength beer. Not that I drink a lot of them! Worth a crack! Back on topic - The Pirate life IIPA is fantastic! 12 of them in my beer fridge waiting patiently.

    Red Rye IPA

    Looks good! Thanks for sharing. I brewed a Founders Red Rye IPA clone a while back. It was ok, but not amazing. IO think that's more my fault rather than the recipe though! Will have to give this one a crack. Cheers.

    Mikkeller Bangkok - Anyone been here?

    So, next weekend is my Brothers Buck's party in Bangkok - Most people who hear that immediately mention the hangover... Anyway, in doing some homework on Bangkok as I've never been before, I found this Bar which opened not too long ago. Just wondering if anyone has been there, or had friends go...

    Aging beer with oak instead of barrels

    How long would you "age" the beer for - say with 1g per litre as you suggest? This is for an Imperial Coffee Stout... Cheers.

    Wrong Hops!?

    So I just started my brew, and I have realised the brew shop got my order wrong. My fault for not checking, so I can't blame them. My brew is already well under way (as I type). Question is - Can I boil some water for say 15 minutes and throw the hops in that, then add to the fermenter when it...

    Will I need a whirlfloc tablet?

    For both late addition and "dry hop"??
  12. Xander

    Will I need a whirlfloc tablet?

    Yes, All Grain (BIAB) - 20L batch The coffee has been ground - I got a high quality from my local coffee shop. I was just going to tip in after the boil - as soon as I start to chill the wort - IO thought this would be best otherwise it would be far to bitter. the second lot, I was going to...

    Will I need a whirlfloc tablet?

    Quick question - I'm brewing an imperial coffee stout tonight, but just realised I have no whirlfloc tabs left. I'll be putting about 10 grams of coffee at the end of the boil and another 10 as a dry hop. Will I need a whirlfloc for this?? I haven't used coffee before, so I'm not sure what...

    Low Gravity!

    People! I brewed another batch on the weekend - same recipe etc except I left the lid off for the boil, which was very slow and gentle! My gravity was 1.045! Still too low. Frustrated, i decided to go through the motions and hopefully come up with a night mid strength? The catch is I just...

    IGNITE Gas Burner....

    I just found these on eBay - has anyone used them / own one? If so, what are they like? The three ring burner is $89.00 and the 4 ring is $130.00. these are with a "heavy duty Stand" Seems to be good value... thoughts?

    Low Gravity!

    They do orders to size, so I can't do that now. As mentioned, I'm pretty sure this is my fault. Something to learn from! I boiled some last night, and threw in 1KG of light DME. Hopefully it still turns out alright...

    Low Gravity!

    Thanks for the feedback gents! I've learnt a few things here. I'm pretty sure it was my own fault - leaving the lid on the boil. I'm confident the LHBS have quality malt, as it is frequently turned over. I'm still pretty new to this so I have to put my hand up and take the blame! Pretty...

    Low Gravity!

    It was Briess 2 row. I checked the hydrometer in plain water and it sat on 1.000 so I'm guessing that is fine? I did leave the lid on for about half the boil - would the condensation going back into the wort throw my Gravity out???

    Low Gravity!

    Cheers Rocker. The wort temp when I checked it was 30 degrees. I can't imagine that being too hot for an accurate reading??? It did cross my mind though. It was mashed for 1 hour, with temps between 66-72.

    Low Gravity!

    Yep, Had the LHBS do it. I can't imagine it was their fault - they have never let me down, and have a great rep.
