I have put a couple of miles down lately and am finding I quaff them down rather quickly so have to do more brewing. My normals around 4.5-5.5 I get a bit longer from the kegs. My problem being I want to put down a few big rye ipa's and a few more normal IPA's are you guys finding the bigger...

I have had to run a few AG brews into production for my birthday on Friday, they were done but not cold crashed so have a bit of hoppy goodness in the mix as well as cloud from yeast. Yes I know there has been no ageing but in certain circumstances, sometimes you need beer. Is it worth buying a...

I seem to be very limited as I only have iPad and phone, no computer so brew mate and others are in available. I have been using brew builder up until recently as it keeps bugging out. My issue on the new system is low efficiency so I have been trying to plug in a few numbers in brew builder...

6-8 dozen possibly more haven't done a full count. A dozen or more 650ml as well. Can give a full count if needed. Will need to bring a few boxes. Free to first pm or post as at time code. Pick up only macquarie hills, near cardiff. Newcastle. Cheers

One of the mates brought me one of these over last week and I just can't stop thinking about it, it was bloody good. We drank a fief boutiques and a few home brews while sitting around the fire. This was the stand out for the day so wanted to try something similar or the same so to speak. It...

I have been playing with the mangrove jacks yeast in my last few brews and am getting lovely bright beer from them. I have only recently gone from kits and bits to all grain. 2 AG brews both using MJ yeast. The third used Muntons Gold. I am noticing a trend in better yeasts clearing a lot...

Most of the calculators are not ipad friendly. So have had to do the maths on the fly, can someone please look this over for me. It will be the first non BIAB and in the newly made fermentor tun thingy with the stainless braided tube. Shooting for 22l @ 1.031 Kettle loss 4-5l per hour 90min...

Was given a used fermentor, it did 2 ciders and bloke didn't like them, not a beer drinker. I have been doing BIAB in a 19l pot and can make 11l batches this way but to get any volume it is a pita to do several brews to fill a fermenter. I am wanting to turn the fermenter into a mash tun...

I may be well out of the ball park but I was thinking along the lines of a partial mash for colour and flavour into a lot of Apple juice hops minimal to give just a hint of bitterness and a lighter malt to give it some body. Otherwise dry hopped to get a fruity sort of light bodied beer. Thoughts?

Ran a half batch of all grain, BIAB in my new $20 19l pot. Everything went off according to plan, used the paint strainer bag, measured all the water, grain, hops etc etc. ran 8 points high on finished gravity. It was a Pacific ale recipe if this helps. If I use Marks software I am up a lot...

The boss has decided to sell/give me one of his old refill kegs that he reckons are around 50l. He used to refil for years but the resturant took off and it's now easier to buy in and return kegs. I think they were also used at one stage as botique brewery of sorts by the boss. He is moving...

I wanted to see the whole process of AG in person, used youtube but it's a pita. Can't ask questions either etc. So I was looking for someone in newy to run me through before I fork out for gear etc. look at their set up and make some spending decisions. Actually see the process in action. I...

I have progressed in the last 3 weeks form kit and malt to kit grain and malt and this last one followed a recipe for kit grain and malt but used aromatic hops and more than the recipe asked for the grain bill is near doubled at 400g and I used dark crystal I have been tasting at end ferment...

I haven't even bottled my first brew but am picking up another fermenter tomorrow to get another batch going. Looking for something like LC pale, nice floral hoppy beer. At this stage I would like to use a can and hop additions so am looking for some thoughts on hop quantities, variety, yeast...

I put down a can of rapid creek pale with the recommended malt sugar baggy and added 1 hour steeped 30g Amarillo hops. It was supposed to be close to 150 lashes. Not my beer of choice but I usually drink cheap. I couldn't help myself tonight before it went into the fridge to crash. I had to...

New here but have played with beer wine and spirits over the years, still make cheese a lot. Never seriously brewed as I usually got crap results and got disheartened or ran out of time at crucial stages so I am here to learn how to do it the right way. With my lifestyle at the moment I have a...
