Hello, I am in the process of learning and hopefully moving to BIAB / All grain brewing. (Small batches around 10-20L of ale first off and I won't be brewing regularly). I want to keep things as simple as possible (both equipment and process wise). Am I asking for trouble trying to start BIAB...

Hello, I am going to buy an electric stoneground grain mill for bread making, but would also like to mill grains for brewing and flaking for breakfast cereals. I am aware that I require a roller mill for brewing beer. 1) I could either buy an all in one electric stoneground mill with...

Hello, I have just been given a bottle of Stonecutter Scotch Ale from the Renaissance Brewing Company, Marlborough, New Zealand. The bottle looks very nice (and 500ml size too) and the 'label' sounds mouthwatering. Unfortunetly I can not drink at the moment - but this should last perfectly for...

Hello, I bought quite few boxes of brand new glass 500ml Flip Top seal bottles from local homebrew store. I bottled up my latest brew and let it carb up - which it did, and had a bottle after about a month. Tasted great and carbonation was perfect. The next two bottle I tried a few months later...

Hello, I just realised it is May and I have not noticed any Cascade First Harvest or other first harvest brews yet. Has the 2010 batch been released yet? or is there any information about the brew and when it will be released? Cheers.

Hello, I have bought some roasted wattle seeds and am inspired to make a Wattle Seed Ale. I do like the Barons Wattleseed Ale, but rather than making a clone I would like to make something that is pushing the boundary a bit more. My ideas for the base beer would be an Amber or Dark Ale. I was...

Hello All, I have purchased a Dome Wine Cooler. I hope I have made the right choice! It is not actually going to be used for wine, but instead cheese making and possibly aging my coopers vintage and the likes, both requiring around 15 degrees Celcius. The manual states the fridge set to high...

Hello, Little Creatures has a special bitter on tap - "The beer was produced with a blend of Pale Ale, Crystal and Belgian Aromatic Malts. It is a "single-hop" beer, produced with 100% East Kent Goldings (traditional UK hop) used in several additions early and late kettle, along with...

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a wine fridge for aging beer such as coopers vintage and making camembert cheese. I just wanted to find out if others use wine fridge for aging beers such as vintage? (I know a fair few probably use a temperature control thermostat attached to a normal fridge.)...

Hello, Just went to one of my local bottle shops - Celebrations... and noticed bottles / 6 packs of Barons Black Wattle with a different label.... to my amazement they were imports from America. The label clearly stated the bottles were imported from America (with address and all)! Why the...

hi, I was thinking of make a hop pillow to see if it helps with sleep / relaxation. Hopefully the aromas won't actually distract me from sleep! Anyway is it actually the aromas or the oils which aid sleep? Has anyone tried this and what were the results? I'm assuming that hop flowers would be...

Hello, I mainly brew Pale Ales, AIPA, Double IPA's and Heavy Stouts. (I generally use extract can + extra malt + hops + steeping grains.) What common steeping grains should I buy to add to my inventory for future brews??? (I will be purchasing from craftbrewer website) Also I find it...

Hi, I generally brew using extract cans plus extra malt and steeping grains. Anyway, I was just wondering - what exactly is in the kit cans you get at the HB shop / supermarket? For example what is in the Pale Ale Cans (apart from hop extract)? I'm assuming it is a mixture of malt types...

Hi, Just tried a bottle of Grand Ridge Moonlight Nut Brown Ale 3.3% Nice drop for a low alcohol beer. Full malt and hop aroma. I did notice a slight metallic aftertaste though, but it did not deter from the beer greatly. I'm not sure whether it was a fault of the beer or my tastebuds! Has...
