Last thread I could find on this was 8 years ago so deserves a new one... Was just up at Hervey Bay for the weekend and the pub near the hotel was a bit light on crafty options. They did have LCPA on tap though and I found myself really enjoying it. Still a really nice beer. There is a lot...

Anyone know a retailer selling 2017 Czech Saaz? I can only see 2016 crop.

Is it ok to put hot wort (~80-90 degrees) into a common plastic 30L barrel fermenter? Are they made out of the same stuff as the cubes that people use for no chill?

Stopped by Stone & Wood Brewery at Byron on the weekend. I know they have another site now but I was surprised how small the original brewery is for such a popular beer. Didn't go behind the scenes or get to ask any questions. There were two guys brewing - the smell was amazing and smelled very...

Check out the garbled crap in the infographic in the middle of this article. It's like the instructions in a cheap Chinese internet order http://www.news.com.au/feature/special-features/what-makes-a-tennessee-whiskey/news-story/076da722027ddcfb474a5c3e40b162d7#

Hi guys, I am getting married in November and thought I would do some stubbies as keepsakes, can anyone recommend a good place to get <500ml size new glass bottles? Probably about 50-70.

Hi guys, after coming back from a month's holiday overseas I fee like I am ready to make a step-change in my beer quality by targeting a couple of process improvements. I have identified two areas for improvement: 1. Better measurement and control of mash ph. 2. Tighter temperature control...

I just got back from a holiday in Africa for a month. Went through South Africa, Botswana Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda and back to SA. In my experience it is not possible to get an ale of any sort except the occasional Guinness in any of those countries except SA. However if you like lager...

So the other day I did a double batch, the first a bo pils and the second a helles. I got better than expected efficiency on both brews so ended up with an OG on the helles of 1.054 and a ridiculous 1.064 on the pils. I mashed the helles at 68 according to my recipe (it's the gold medal Sitzung...

Hi guys, my favorite retailer is currently out of WY1272 _ American Ale II and was wondering if anyone in Brisbane has a culture they would be willing to share? happy to replace it with a fresh activator pack when they are back in stock or work out some other arrangement. Thanks guys.

Looking to brew a hop-forward pale ale this weekend. Planning a double batch in the grainfather by mashing 96% golden promise with 4% 110 ebc crystal, 9kg total and then doing two separate boils, one in the grainfather and another in a 40L birko urn. I have heaps of galaxy and citra on the way...

Had this beer on tap at the Bent Elbow at Stones Corner, Brisbane on Friday night. Man, this is a nice beer. So delicious. It's like the definition of the style jumping off the page and into the glass. Lightly spicy, fizzy and refreshing. And so easy to drink. Try it if you can.

Thought I would try my hand at a porter. I'm looking to brew a well balanced, smooth porter... a little bit malty sweet but balanced by the roasted flavours. I want it to be best described as smooth. With 20 minutes tinkering I came up with this. I wanted to put 500g of Rye in there but the OG...

Hi guys, thinking about brewing a really malty dark rye lager for something different. It's somewhat inspired by the "Thicker than water" red rye ale that was on tap at newstead brewery a while ago. It's a lot of caramel malts but I think that's what I'm going for. 3.5kg Munich II 1kg malted...

A feminist blogger has used her own vaginal yeast to create sourdough bread. Zoe Stavri discovered she had thrush and decided to do something about it - so she scraped some yeast off a dildo and popped it in a mixing bowl (as you do). She then embarked on a mission to make bread with it...

Hi guys, recently got myself a 3-keg kegerator setup that I plan to pour the first pint from tonight (5 hours to go!). I bought it for general consumption of my beer but also because I am having a big Oktoberfest party next month and I want to serve beer on tap. Planning on having a Helles...

Hey guys, thinking of putting down a really fruity APA. I know "fruity" is quite a course descriptor for a beer, but I am going for a passionfruit, citrus, stonefruit flavour and aroma here. I used the malt bill from Tony's LCBA clone and came up with a hop schedule for my favorite hops. Just a...

Short story... First brew with the grainfather after 5 years break from brewing. previously have done 50+ AG brews. Recipe was mainly BB ale malt with some wheat, flaked wheat and munich to 1046. single step mash at 67 for 60 minutes. aerated by holding the outlet pipe of the grainfather up...
