Cheers for the info...

Okay. Thanks. However, if I was to do it that way - is that the correct way?

Hello friends, I used to brew a couple of years ago and am just about to get back into it. The way I did it before was 1 week in a fermenter, 1 week in a secondary with a couple of days cold crash before into bottles with Cooper's Sugar for another fortnight. This time around I still plan on...

Love ya work guys... Lesson learnt :P

I have some Summit and Pearle Hops sitting n the freezer. What bad boy should I brew starting with these hops?

Well done to the winners. Thanks for the feedback which is what I was mainly after. Hopefully I can use it to make some major improvements to my rookieness...

That was me! I hope!

If you get into your brewing, waiting for Perth weather to match up for ideal temperatures would be frustrating as. If you can get a decent 2nd hand fridge for $100- and spend about $30- on a temp controller you'll be able to make beer all year round.

Outsider here. Just sent an entry in. Not expecting much, but am looking forward to the feedback in working towards improving my homebrew.

Rightio then, still learning. Thought I didn't need to do the starter thing. Will pull that out next time. I remember that I also hadn't aerated the brew, so I gave that a go and since then the brew has started to ferment. Hopefully it's not to ruined by the exposure to air and not getting the...

Smack and pitch, left it for 4 or 5 hours. Not sure, recently brought from a retailer though 1.065

I used one of these for the first time when I did I brew on Sunday. Didn't swell up as much I thought it might and so far my brew is showing no signs of fermentation. (3 days) Any thoughts?

Awesome, thanks. The yeast is bubbling away quiet nice, so winning!

So an issue, but not the worst thing.

Went to add my yeast and found this? What is it? Am I only seeing it because it is a really low coloured brew?

Shout out to the guys from GrainFather. Misplaced my black cap on my filter, sent an email asking for just that. They sourced a whole new filter and sent it out. Great customer service

Thanks again guys. Such a damn rookie. But it's also a good feeling learning something new everytime, meaning my next brew is going to be even better.

Awesome, which means they're pretty much spot on. Thanks again everyone, I'm not as bad as what I thought.

Thanks guys, I will look into this as soon as I can (at work) and will let you know. If true, it would make sense as to why I was getting drunk of what I thought were mid strength....
