    Hair-brained idea or stroke of genius? Please help

    Yeah, thinking blowing the in-laws mouths apart wouldn't be good...or would it;-) It's meant to be easy drinking for my Mrs who's 8.5 months pregnant and it gagging to get bub out and pound a light and breezy PA (loves LCPA)!

    Hair-brained idea or stroke of genius? Please help

    First time using Chinook so not too sure what to expect. Any thoughts on a dry hop choice? Cheers

    Hair-brained idea or stroke of genius? Please help

    Yeah, won't be doing that again! I started with 2 pots as the recipe said I needed 58L at the start. Then with evaporation, spillage (& scalding) and boil over I tipped the remained of the small pot into the 50L pot. The 50L pot was filled to the brim for most of the boil...have you tried to...

    Hair-brained idea or stroke of genius? Please help

    Well that turned out to be f'ing hard work! Started my cook at 8pm Saturday and all went well until mash time was over...then as per usual it all fell rapidly apart! Pot was too full and had boil over, wouldn't come to a rolling boils for f'ing ages and then just wouldn't cool for love or...

    Hair-brained idea or stroke of genius? Please help

    Had an idea for a double batch brew I wanted to swing by you guys: Some background – I'm looking to brew 2 batches before Xmas, an easy drinking APA for family and friends and a Strawberry beer for my lady who’s dropping a bub in the next couple of weeks and is dying for a beer! I normally do...

    Xmas drop - What you planning & what do you recommend

    Another one I was considering was a strawberry beer...went strawberry picking with the Mrs last weekend and have 5kg of amazing fruit that needs to be use and there's only so much f'ing jam I can take! Anyone have a good AG recipe for Strawberry beer? I've seen some extract recipes like: 23L...

    Xmas drop - What you planning & what do you recommend

    Bwahahahaha! That's soul destroying! Some cracking suggestions in there, liking the sound of a cream ale and Seehuusen's Xmas Tuborg Julebry. Already have a Stout, American Brown Ale and a couple of PA's nestled away at different ages and remaining quantities; and as I mentioned, the rather...

    Xmas drop - What you planning & what do you recommend

    Gents, the silly season is almost upon us and although I have more brew then I could possibly drink for the remainder of the year, I think I want to make a specific Xmas themed batch. And by that same token, I was curious what you guys have on the cards for your festive season. I'm going to put...

    Gas Burner - Recommendations please

    Gents - It's Friday and tomorrow's brew day! I've got an 8 month pregnant wife at home who wants to vom at the smell of wort cooking up (if she wasn't having my baby eh!) so as a courtesy I want to get my outdoor brew on. I have a 50L pot and a bottle full of gas but I'm looking for a kickass...

    Quick question - Bulk priming

    Thanks gents, just in case I'll crack the lids this weekend (a week into conditioning) and release some pressure.

    Quick question - Bulk priming

    Cheers for the replies guys. My batch size was 21L and ferment was at 22deg. Resting a little easier now...

    Quick question - Bulk priming

    Gents I bottled my second AG batch yesterday - Weisbier. I went online and used a calculator to work out how much dextrose I needed and the calc came out at 270g. Seemed a bit high but the CO2 vol. was recommended at 4.0 so I went with it. Does this seem right to you more experienced folks...

    Hop Hog Extract Recipe

    Is it bad that it's 10:15am and I'm thinking...'mmm it's been just about 4 weeks, I'm gonna smash another HH when I get home!'

    My first AG attempt - Oatmeal Stout - advice/suggestions

    The pack didn't come with EKG, just 60 fuggs and 15g PoR...if the recommendation's wrong, can you suggest a hop schedule with what I have? (In the fridge I also have Galaxy, centennial, cascades - realise these aren't really suitable for Stouts though...)

    My first AG attempt - Oatmeal Stout - advice/suggestions

    Yup, so after 3 months of K&K and extract brews I've decided to give an AG brew a go...so excited! My LHBS has recipe packs with instructions so thought its an easy way into the big league Here's what the pack consists of & their online PDF instructions: Recipe based on: 70 % Mash Efficiency...

    Bloody Nightmare

    Dunno if I just lucked out but I used servo/Bottlo ice in almost all my kit and extract brews and never had a prob. First brew I ever did I spilt a whole bag of ice on the kitchen floor...in a panic I just scooped up a load off the manky floor and lobbed it in, shittest batch I've ever made...

    American Black Ale - Cascadian

    HAHA, you should do stand-up with improv skills like that! Sounds like a good beer, let us know how it turns out. BTW - I see you made a batch of the Old Brown Dog, have you tried it yet? How long are you conditioning for (if its bottle conditioning)?
