Just got back from a trip to the Goldy and while I was there we ploished of a couple or three cases of the new(ish) XXXX Summer Bright Lager. I found it to be a rather easy drinking beer, especially on those 35C plus days that we had while we were in town. Just wondering what others thought of...

I've got a batch of Belgian style ale sitting in the fermenter waiting for me to find the time to bottle it, and I've got 700gms or so of invert/candy sugar that I made for the batch in the freezer. Can I use the same sort of weight of invert/candy to prime the beer when bottling? I do intend...

Had the place to myself for the day, so I thought it would be a good time to get brewing. After stopping in at the LHBS and getting some supplies I ventured to the Big Green Shed and picked up a couple of 10L "cubes", thinking I'll give this no-chill thing a try. Now, all my batches lately...

SWMBO was flipping through her cooking magazine and came across this Beer Masons. Whilst I don't think I'll join for the regular beer deliveries I did find their Brewing Process a pretty good read. No affiliation etc...

Hi Guys, I've decided to take the plunge and have a crack at my own partial (and my own recipe). Previously I've used partial kits put together by the LHBS and followed the instructions religiously with pleasing results. I've a couple of questions before I start firing up the stove. 1. What...

I've got 10 x 20lt cubes looking for new homes - cubes have only held demineralised water and have a threaded bung that fits a standard tap you can get from Bunnings. They don't really owe me anything, so I figure a tallie per cube of your finest or $5 each. Cubes are available for pick up...

I've been venturing into making a few beers using unhopped LME, a kilo or two of steeped grains, DME, boil it up add hops at the right time and Robert is your mothers brother. So far the results have been quite pleasing to the palate. At the same time I've been putting my recipes into...

Thanks to the SWMBO I've started developing a taste for darker beers, as a result I've brewed a couple. First was a K+K Tooheys Old type clone, ended up a bit sweet, probably didn't let ferment for long enough. Next up was a Dunkelweizen extract, that turned out a treat, very tasty and very...

Since work has decided to interrupt my ability to brew for a couple of months I'm left reading AHB and salivating. As luck would have it I've been gifted a few cans of goop, so now I can start planning what to put in the fermenters in a couple of weeks. Only problem is you guys have given me...

Topic says it all.... Suggestions for a brew to put down now, and be drinking on NYE. I'll be putting it into a keg. My scheduling hasn't been the best lately and I've only just got back into brewing (and kegging), so I'd like to be drinking my beer on NYE. Kit & Kilo, or Kit & Extract + Hop...

1st time poster, long time lurker.... #1 Brew worked a treat (Morgans Amber + Amber LME + Fuggles tea bag) #2 Brew isn't looking so good .... It's a Morgans Yukon Brown Smokey ale with 500g Dextrose / 250g Light Malt / 250g Maltodextrin (I think, can't remember which bag exactly the HBS gave...
