Hi guys I am getting near the end of my last 80lt batch of Cascade hopped based JSGA clone (couldn't get Amarillo) brew. It turned out quite nice but now I have Amarillo. The JSGA recipes in the forums here seem to have a lot of hops in them; up to 60 grams per 20lt brew. If I am multiplying...

I was recently givena 100lt blue drum with a fully sealed lid. I fitted it out with some bits and pieces from the local irrigation shop and threw 80lt of my JSGA experiment into it. It has beena gamble but upon tasting the finished brew (un- carbed) i am very happy with the outcome fresh out of...

I recently tried harvesting yeast from a beermakers premium lager. I then pitched a small vegemite sized jar into my honey cinnamon dark ale on Sunday. Today it was going that hard that it blew the water out of the airlock and sprayed the immediate area with my precious dark ale. :o I refilled...

I recently did a morgans lager. Brewed it for a month at 12 degrees and stupidly remembered that i forget to add the Golden clusters hops. My HBS bloke said to add it after the brew. "floww the juice straight into the keg he said". So i boiled up 25g of GC in about 500ml water and through it in...

Hi All I'm using morgans blonde with light liquid malt, caramalt and casade (alternative to Amarillo) with US02 yeast. I was wondering how to treat he hops as i have not used cascade before abd had very little sucess with the other hopped brews. Steve

I have been told to keg and top with some CO2 and let it mature in the shed. Is this right and for how long can you store beer like this without it turning to shit? Steve

I was in Coles the other day and noticed that the Farmland brew was only about $7.00 on special. Has anyone tried a mix of a half decent can of brew mixed with the cheap stuff to replacethe dextrose etc? I still havent acheived a brew that tastes like a commercial beer. Thats the aim over the...

Hi All I have put down a coppers lager a few weeks ago with a saflager yeast. It is just about done, but i recently realised that i forget to add the hops for aroma. Does the hops have to brew with the other ingredients or can we add it when the brew has just about finished? Cheers Steve

My second brew and dramas i think. I put down a coopers real ale using w30/70 yeast. Pitched the yeast at 20 degrees and brought the whole lot down to 12 degrees. I havent seen a bubble out off it yet after 24 hours. Should the lager yeast be bubbling like the ale yeasts do? The airlock levels...
