    Gout remedies that work

    other thing that can help reduce uric acid levels is Apple Cider Vinegar. One teaspoon in water twice a day. Beside alcohol there are foods that all add to increasing it over safe levels. Some medications add to levels as well.

    Australian craft beer standards

    just had dinner at hargreaves hill in Yarra Glen. Have been there many times. These days since in the new brewery at Lilydale the beer is usually consistent. In the older days at the older brewery the beer could often have faults in it and sometimes major ones. After being brought out a Pale Ale...

    1st Wort Hopping.

    There is a difference between adding hops as First Wort Addition and adding Mash Hops. First wort is added to the boiler as you sparge so they soak while you are drawing off your wort for the boil. They remain for the entire boil and cooling process and land up in the trub. For my part I do 90...

    1st Wort Hopping.

    In my experience with FWH which I have done a fair few times I have gotten good smooth refined hop flavour that comes through very well and a refined aroma but not an over the top aroma by any means. I have used FWH in both ales, mainly Apa and have also tried it with Pils. I tried it out when...

    Beginners Guide To Cider?

    Hi chelta , i have a similar kit in a Fermenter that my wife wanted me to do. Mainly all grain brewed beer before. The people in my brew club that have done kit ciders have had a few comments about them. I notice you are using the apple scnapps extract. One of the problems I have heard is that...

    Style Of The Week 8/6/10 - American Stout

    In days of old most of us used to do a couple of brews per dinner beer to make sure the beer was outstanding quality. If there were faults you would never hear the end of it. Personally I don't mind American stout and have been happy drinking Sierra Nevada and also like the very basic recipe in...

    Melbourne Water

    you can't go wrong reading Tony's Key Concepts in Water Treatment paper as suggested earlier in this thread via the Melbourne Brewer's link. You definitely don't want your beer suffering from lack of Calcium by using water straight from tap - and of course you should filter it and/or boil it...

    First Wort Hopping

    my experiences have been similar to yours 78sam. I find the bitterness is less by my perception with FWH. Certainly found the hop flavour to be more smooth and rounded when I have tried FWH. On paper / software the bitterness is higher. A great thing to try out for us Homebrewers that have...

    English Strong Ale - Yeast?

    Us05 is going to be fairly neutral and 1028 will compliment the the mineral content in the beer. Depending on the balance of the recipe you may not want a yeast that highlights the malt character if you are using lots of specialty malts. LHBS that don't stock all the basic yeasts can be a pain...

    Leaving Gypsum Out Of The Brew

    depending on the style you are going to brew Gypsum can be of benifit. It can give you a crisper finish that you will not get from just adding more bittering hops. This can be the case if you are brewing English Pale styles for example. Depending on the recipe the result may differ from the...

    RecipeDB - All Challenger Bitter

    I think that around three years ago might have been slightly longer got a bulk order of challenger and it was around 6.5%. Could be that GG still has that vintage of hops in stock. Having said that it's a great hop and you get a great flavour and aroma from it when fresh
