I've had the pleasure of starting up my own beer label after years of home brewing and its gone ok so far. Now I'm running a competition for South Australian Brewers. The thrust of the competition is to brew a beer using Oat malt. Flaked oats, rolled oats and golden naked oats are not subs for...

Not for the first time I've had a beer spontaneously ferment in a no-chill cube sealed up tightly, spotlessly clean or new. I rarely no-chill now having done it a few times and there have been a few too many occasions when the beer has decided to start fermenting. I prefer to use my chiller...

After years of brewing simply I've recently gone slightly mad and decided to go RIMS. A big thanks to Raven for the help on it, his thread was very useful, as was his on hand assistance but tonight it all gets finalised ready for testing. I have the Auberins PID, SSR and Heat sink all wired...

This is a heads up for a competition that will be happening over the next couple of months... Ale-ticipation The act of looking forward to having your beer brewed by a microbrewery. Thanks to the support of Beard & Brau Brewery its been possible to put together this competition. Broad details...

Just found out, Saturday 23rd (this Saturday) Elder Park Caf from 3-7pm. All three Beard and Brau Beers available in 3 x 150mL samples. Looks like it will be lovely weather for the weekend so a great chance to get down and have a few tasty beers.

My FIL called in a favour and arranged to have the new rig knocked up free of charge (well the stand anyway, pots and burners I had to pay for)...wasn't expecting that. Stands about 2 m high, 60cm deep and a little over a metre long. Made predominantly from 50mm RHS. HLT and MT are both about...

I was flicking through the products of Hop Products Australia and came across Southern Hallertau. Anyone used it?

I've done a few brews recently that have ended up witha soapy taste/texture to them. The first was a german pils. All Pils malt, Halertau and Sapphire hops, fermented with 2308 Munich Lager. Initially I would have said it was like burnt plastic (probably from the use of a new fermenter) but it...

what are the chances a very strong plastic taste will dissipate?? I did up a double batch of a Pils, the mash went well, the boil went well the drain went well. I no-chill so I drained from the kettle to my 'new' fermenter drain temp was about 60 degrees. I got the fermenter around Christmas...

My Brother was good enough to try and get me a pre-packed full mash kit from his local brew shop, it was one that I wanted and had previously made as a part mash pack and enjoyed (3kg grain and a tin o goo). he was told it would take a while to pack so he ordered (on a Thursday) and was told it...

Recently it was put to me by a wine drinker that Beer is not a drink for all occasions and could not be drunk all day in the same way one moves through the white wine, to reds and onto spirits (scotches particularly which given the challenge I thought was cheating but...). I disagreed and...
