Hey everyone, Got a recipe here for a UK IPA which calls for 12 - 16 AAU as a bittering addition.. Does anyone know how to convert AAU to IBU? It calls for Northern Brewer as a bittering hop, the bag I have is 9.6%AA I hope that's enough info for someone to help me out... Mitch :D

Thinking about going next year. We've done Thailand and Bali, and would like to go a bit further this time? Where did you stay? What did you do? What was the average cost of things (Meals, Drinks etc) Not looking for a party holiday just somewhere to go see the sights, and relax. Cheers, Mitch

Received this in an email today... Coopers Brewery has signed a distribution agreement with leading US craft brewer Anchor Brewing Company, which is expected to increase Coopers’ sales throughout America. The arrangement may also lead to Coopers importing and distributing the iconic Anchor Steam...

So I brewed a 10min IPA with Galaxy which came out smelling superb! It's tasting great too, however there's an astringent sharp bitterness going on in the beer. Which made me think about a conversation I had with my mate about hop cohumulone levels. AFAIK, low cohumulone = Smoother bitterness...

Wienstephan/Sam Adams Collaboration Brew. I know it's only new, but was wondering if anyone has had it yet? I haven't read a good review yet! It gets a bit of a bashing on Beer Advocate, and Rate Beer, apparantely. Mitch :D

Hey! I have a Moka Pot style stovetop coffee maker, and yesterday morning whilst brewing some coffee, the safety valve did it's job and released a bunch of steam. My question is: Do I need to replace the valve? Or can I keep using it? I made a cup this afternoon, and the valve did vent again...

I've lost it! And as a result I can't take any hydro readings of the ESB that's in the fermenter. Has anyone lost theirs and been forced to improvise? What did you use? Cheers, Mitch :)

Hey all, My first AG batch was kegged the other day, Dr. Smurto's Golden Ale. After carbing it up, It pours well enough, nice head and all, but its cloudy as all heck (read: Orange Juice), and the flavour is so sweet. First thing that jumped into my mind was Hoegaarden. A few reasons this could...

Hi guys, Going to throw down a stout in a while for winter. I was wondering if it was worth using the yeast from the Coopers stout bottles? Has anyone has any success? Is it just the same yeast as in the Pale Ale bottles? Any help would be great. Cheers Mitch :)

Hi all. I'm considering buying 3 - 4 bottles of each of a few different beers, with the intention of cellaring them for a few years, and seeing how they develop over that time. Was wondering what your opinions were on which would be the best beers to cellar. Please name drop! :) I was going to...

So Friday, it rained all day. Which was okay with me because I had kncked off work at 3am that morning. More time for these. Got better as it warmed up. Saturday turned out to be an awesome day, so we made the trip out to Dalyup River Winery. Alot smaller than i'd expected, but cool...

I'm going to put down a toucan tomorrow. 1 x Morgans Australian Lager 1 x Morgans Australiain Draught 500g x LDME Should I only use one of the yeasts from the cans? I wanted to get Saflager, but my LHBS doesn't stock it. Cheers Mitch :)

Nice beer. Dark ale colour, but still quite transparent. Not too aromatic, but I have had the flu for a week and i'm just starting to recover. Lovely malty taste, slightly bitter aftertaste but nothing to get excited about. Not a great head retention pouring from stubbie to glass and light on...
