I don't mind enjoying a decent beer, and I agree the price difference isn't much after 1 or 2, but after 10 it is! Especially when you are tight for cash. I just think for many people, beer is only a small part of socialising. Though this is a home brewers forum so we all probably analyse and...

As a bloke in his early 20s I can relate to the feeling of too much flavour, but I still enjoy a decent 'craft beer'. The biggest problem is price and availability. I struggle to justify going out and spending $10+ on a pint when I can get a mass produced one for around $7-$8

Hey guys, I've put down my 4th brew using US 05. For each, I have let ferment for full 2 weeks, mainly because I read many people doing the same to allow the yeast to clean up. I'm wondering if this is the case for all yeasts? I.e. Because US 05 is said to give off low amounts of diacetyl...

Hey everyone, As the title suggests, im based in Hobart. Currently put down 3 brews (extract) so far, so pretty new to this whole deal. Suprised with how well they have turned out though, especially when compared to the big names i.e. Cascade/Boags, but looking to hopefuly move in to AG soon...
