All brewers, whether home or craft brewers should read this article and pass it on to their local federal member. Beer tax is an issue I personally feel very strongly about and I believe our Australian craft beer scene is being held back by over taxation and pandering to the large corparates...

Ok everyone, after several requests for the full results from last weeks Tanunda Show, here they are. I thought it better to just start a new topic for the results. With over 113 entries received the show was a great success and show day last Saturday was enjoyed by all. Apologies for taking a...

Hi all, I picked up one of the Muntons Highland Heavy Ale kits, which is just two cans of goo, and wondered if anyone had had any experience with them? I also got the Wyeast Scottish Ale yeast, but I was unsure about hopping requirements. Are the kits adequately hopped? Has anyone added aroma...

Hey all! I was wondering whether anyone had put any commercially available cans of goo into Beersmith. I'm still quite new to the program and wanted to adjust some recipes to use extract but I don't have the vital statistics to put in the data. I looked around but couldn't find anything on here...

I've been considering doing some smaller batch brewing 12Lt for example, as a way to try some different styles and new beers. I'm an extract brewer btw and was wondering whether the size of the fermentor has any negative effect on the brew. In other words if I brew a 12 Lt batch and ferment in...

I picked up some Coopers cans the other day at my local HBS along with the recipe sheet for their malt cans. So I decided to follow one, basically a can of Sparkling Ale and one can of Dark Malt. Now they were calling this an 'English Bitter', but its so dark in colour it looks more like a dark...

I just got this book "Clone Brews" an older book but with some good recipes in it. I have a question about the grain it lists in the ingredients for each recipe, particularly Crystal Malt. The book lists Crystal Malt like this 2.5 *(degree mark)L German Light Crystal Malt or 65*L German Dark...

Just wondered what people's thoughts were on both of these. I probably need to get one of them but haven't decided which yet. Is one better than the other? I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Hey all, I'm still pretty new at all this so forgive me if this seems like a nooby question. I've got a Coopers Draught/Lager in primary, two can version (1 of each) for fun, and Ive got this pack of Brigalows extra malt brewing sugar. I thought I would use this for bulk priming my secondary...

Hey all, my first post ! Was just wondering if anyone knew some good retailers in the Adelaide area that sold a range of specialty/imported/rarer style beers. I'm trying to increase my knowledge and palate and try some different styles, but I'm not sure what the best stores are. Any...
