I was fortunate enough to be involved on a collaboration brew with Brendan from Brisbane Brewing Co. and The Scratch Bar for their Arrested Development art show last weekend. I came up with a recipe for a red rye IPA but we decided to pitch a lager yeast to fit the beer's name of Ry've Made A...

Friends, I sat down with Dave Padden, formally of Riverside and now at Akasha Brewing over a couple of beers and asking him a whole bunch of questions about brewing etc. http://www.brewedcrudeandbitter.com/blog/2016/4/6/brewed-crude-interviews-vol-one-dave-padden-akasha-brewing-company I wish...

I've been challenged by a friend to brew a beer using a breakfast cereal. Now I know plenty of people have used Coco Pops and Weet Bix so I was thinking of trying something that I'm not sure I've seen anyone use before, Milo Cereal. The ingredients are as follows: Wholegrain Cereals (53%)...

Gold coast gypsy brewers (with a spanking new brewhouse currently in production) Black Hops Brewing have managed to land themselves a deal with Activision to release an official Call of Duty beer in conjunction with the newest CoD game. I couldn't be more stoked for them. Dan, Eddie and Govs...

I'm planning on making a raspberry and coconut wheat beer (because I'm a glutton for punishment) and I'm in serious need of advice. I'm thinking of going half/half Maris Otter and wheat and contemplating the addition of one or two specialty malts and maybe even naked oats to try and get a...

This guy has transcribed all the NHC 2015 winning beers into a format that can be opened in Beersmith. http://www.fivebladesbrewing.com/homebrew-recipes/nhc-2015/ Enjoy!

I moved down to Sydney from Brisbane a few weeks ago and I'm keen to get stuck into brewing again. I'm in the inner west and homebrew suppliers seem pretty few and far between. Can any locals enlighten me of the best way to go about getting supplies? I'm thinking of just continuing to get my...

The Brewsvegas 2015 event calendar has just been released. Over 100 events at around 60 venues between the 22nd and 29th of March. http://brewsvegas.com/

So in a series of **** ups that were totally not my fault, is there any way of upping the OG after already pitching the yeast? Like, would it be ok if I added say 500g of dry extract after fermentation is already well under way? Could I add it straight in or would it be best to dissolve it in...

For those in Brisbane there is finally a bar in Bulimba that isn't irredeemably horrible. It's been opened by the same people behind The Mill on Constance which is an excellent little pub that serves good beer and food in the valley...

Hey, I'm planning on putting down an easy drinking, malty delight because there aren't enough commercial breweries putting out ESBs for some reason. I love what oats bring to an oatmeal stout so I'm thinking that a bit of oats would bring extra creaminess to an ESB. So I've tentatively...

So I've got a few questions before I try my hand at BIAB for the first time. I think I've been doing way too much reading before actually doing it so as with everything in homebrewing there is 45 different opinions for every aspect. But at the very least I'd just like to know what I'm...

They have been selling them for $26 up until a couple of days ago. It's a fantastic IPA and the best beer glass going round. I managed to clean out the BWS near me and you should do the same.

Hey, I've been lurking here for a year or so but with an imminent foray into all grain I thought I might as well sign up and occasionally drain you people of your delicious knowledge. A good friend and I also write barely legible articles and do some super serious beer reviews at...
