Fingerlickin, Three questions: What yeast did you use for these 2 latest Wheat brews? What types of temps were you brewing at ? And, what was the time lag between end of fermentation and drinking. Many brews ago (about this time last year) I made a couple of these kits with K97 again and yes...

BlueJ, Go the Wyeast 3068, you won't regret it.

Personaly I think I'm likely to be more of a risk on the road sober after a night shift, than at .05 earlyy evening. But I dont see government legislating against that.

Doc / Brauluver, For what its worth: A "Radler" is a 50/50 mix of standard lager beer (typicaly helles) and lemonade. A "Russ'" (short for Russ'en, English Russian) is a 50/50 mix of wheatbeer and lemonade A "Neger" (or "nigger") is a 50/50 mix of wheatbeer and cola As to why, on a hot day you...

Steve / Fingerlickin, Crow here, the guy that started this thread back in Nov 2004. Sounds like you've already gone the route with he non K-97 yeast, but here some feedback from someone who's made a half dozen of these brews in the mean time. K-97 is good, best results when brewed at lower...

There was talk about Carlton shooting a new mid-stength beer commercial late last year. Maybe it was for the beer you heard about ?

Wobbly, For what its worth - I use dextrose, bottle into the 500ml euro wheatbeer bottles (the thick ones, NOT schoefferhofer), and measure with those sugar measure gadgets. Currently I find that 1 1/2 measures (1 big + 1 small) per 500ml bottle is just about spot on (its a tiny bit on the...

The Helles is definetly a lager beer. As long as your bottle of "original muencher" has "helles" as the next word it is the same; other beers in the original muencher line are the dunkel, Urtyp and Maerzen. (Check our the beer categories at http://www.paulaner.de/index_frame.htm) As far as the...

Thanks for the tips, and keep 'em comming. I swear the wife and kids go through 8 - 10 litres of apple juice EVERY week, and SWMBO really would like me to put on a cider brew for her and her friends one day. Thought the apple season was late Jan / feb. Will check it out.

I'd really like to try making an apple cider this season. Does anyone if you can get juice in bulk, preferably direct from the orchard, within ~100km of Sydney ?

Benny - Sounds interesting. Do they have a hole (threaded ?) for straining the mash ??

Ooopps - That should have read Grumpys Masterbrew... Apologies to all Grumpys fans.

Hi Fella's, Can anyone give me a critique or comparison of the Grumpy masterbrews Vs the ESB 3kg kits ? I 've heard the Grumpy users think that product is very good, whilst ESBers also seem to give those kits a good wrap. Would be interested to hear from someone who has used both brands. What...

Quote: In a commercial brewery beer for kegging is pasteurised before it is packaged. Cans & bottles are pasteurised after the containers are filled, then they are capped/sealed in a blanket of CO2. --------------------------- SO that explains why drinking bottled aussie megaswill make me...

Anyone have any sugestions on how to spice up the ESB 3kg kits ? I'm a newbie and have made 8 ESB brews so far (mainly lager and wheat beer) , I experimented once wth liquid yeasts, and figure its high time to become a bit more adventurous and either steep some grans or try boiling the extract...

Bugger that I only saw this Sunday night.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the RTA to build decent roads in the first place. You know, roads with overtakng lanes, without negative camber on corners etc etc. But that would mean them taking responsibilities for their actions - and we couldn't have any of that could we now. Much better to...

Re: the Schoefferhofer yeast - the pdf file below (from 2002) suggest that schoefferhofer is NOT suitable for hefeweizen yeast culturing. http://hobbybrauer.info/Hefestripping.pdf

Try the "Korbinian" if you get the chance, a Weihenstephan Dunkelbock (starkbier) Weizen. It is heaven on earth.

Doc, gerad etc - See you at the Porterhouse . crow / unertl
