Interesting topic. I noticed that someone has tried the Chimay yeast, but isn't that just a bottling yeast? I would like to clarify on this as someone has told me (I'm green when it comes to this subject) that they filter the beer once fermented and add a bottling yeast as to not give away...

Yup, all is sweet along those lines mate. Matt

Dear All, Let me know if your interested in a cheap Carboy. I can deliver in Sydney but you will have to get one on one with me if you want them intrastate or interstate. If you need delivery on the North side of Parramatta will set you back $50 each. If you need delivery on the south side of...

The whole reason I picked up on this hobby, was so I would be too paraletic to even think about a second as I would be drinking through the first, :)

All, The feedback has been fantastic, something to read up on!! Thanks to all who responded.

Cheer's Steve, looks interesting. When I did mine, I made sure I tasted it along the way as I boiled the crystal for about 40 mins. I noticed the difference markedly in the liquid as it went on. I will try this method in the esky next time and see if gives the same result. Thanks again for...

Sorry Fatgodzilla, LLE??? I am a noob at this, this was my 2nd brew. P.S. Temps went down to 15C in the shed and it should stay that way for a while as it is cold down there.

I Boiled (70C)the 3KG of Light Liquid Malt for an hour and added the hops at the above increments while I also had another pot boiling up (70C) the crystal for an hour. I then added all the ingrediants straight into the fermenter and then strained the Crystal into the fermenter and then sparged...

All, Put my first mash together last night and made an absolute treat. 1st tastes are absolutely superb and I can't wait for the finnished product. 3.00 kg Light Liquid Extract 0.15 kg Crystal 35.00 gm Saaz [4.00%] (60 min) 25.00 gm Saaz [4.00%] (15 min) 12.00 gm Hallertauer [4.50%] (5...

Hi, I have an issue with my WYeast culture and was wondering if any of you have had the same issue. I filled a 2 litre bottle with 200 grams of Dex and 1.5 litres of water followed by a WYeast Pils to culture into a bigger batch for later use. I put all of this into the steralized and rinsed...

Hi, I am all new to this and have had my first brew brewing for the last 9 days. It is a lager brew that was sitting at around 25c for the first 24 hours and flocculating quickly and was then left at a constant 13-15 degrees for the remainder period. Tastes great, probably co it's my first...

Thanks Pumpy

Hi, Just wondering if there is a Campbelltown get together or something similar. Matt

Thanks for that !!

Hi, Am new to this gig, but am enjoying it so far. I used a hop bag for my brew and the head in the fermenter has gone green, is this normal? Matt

Hi, I am a new brewer, lovin it. I can't wait to get my lips wet from my first brew, even if it is crap. But I have one issue. Where do you get your bottles from? I understand that I can buy them but it is quite expensive, and I can go out on recycle night which has eaten alot of fuel for me...
