The Biero name might be gone, but the place has reopened as the Dejavu Bar. I went there on Saturday night, before the Dons/North game. The place is exactly the same. 12 taps of craft brew, 10 beer vaults full of beer. The fantastic wednesday $6 pint night is still on and the $5 cover charge has...

Last Drinks this week. Beiro Relocating!

Was in the New Quay part of the docks meeting up for a meal with friends, last Friday. Thought I'd grab a quick JS Porter at the nearby JS Docklands venue, while I was waiting. To my surprise the place was closed and small A4 paper stuck on the door, saying something about payment of rent and...

Hi Guys I got given a corny keg with and haven't been able to get the "beer out" post to screw down (with or without the poppet) Thought there must be something wrong with the post so ... Went to the local homebrew shop and got a replacement "beer out" post. Same problem. Substituted the beer...

Hi Guys I'm yet to use both yeasts and compare. I was just after anybodies opinion as to whether the finished product turns out pretty similar (in the end). I was reading in the latest copy of Zymurgy about their comparisons between dry and wet 56. They seem to conclude with limited data and...

I've been looking at some recipes in the inspirational Radical Brewing by the Randy Mosher. I was keen to have a go at his "Old Nut Case Brown Ale" but unsure of how to get my hands on Mild Ale Malt. Mosher's description: Darker color, sweeter, nuttier taste than pale ale malt. I don't think...

Hi Guys I quite like the James Squire Highwayman that you can only seem to get on tap at their pubs. I was wondering if anyone has a idea of a recipe. The JS website description is thus: This thrice hopped ale uses a select blend of choice English, European and New Zealand hops. Its long, cool...

Hi AHBers Anybody got an AG Fullers 1845 recipe that gets pretty close to the real thing? Just love the fruitcake thing happening here. The bottle lists ... "A blend of amber malt and goldings hops results in a delicious fruit cake aroma, full bodied malt and a dry hoppy finish." Haven't...

Hi AHBers I'm about to enter the world of AG and I'm very keen to brew a top toffee malt flavoured English Pale/Bitter. Just wondering what happened to Thomas Fawcett Malts? I heard they were highly recommended for what I will want to do. They used to be readily available at G&G and others...

Hi Guys Interested in your thoughts and advise on the following. The summer heat is well and truely here in Melbourne. We've been having a few days of 40+ temperatures, which is unusual. My last batch brewed was a Hoegaarden Wit that I bottled 3 weeks ago. I've been eager to drink this...

I attempted a Hoeggarden-y style beer with crushed corriander seed and orange peel. But the corriander spice seems to have all but disappeared by the time I bottled it. This did not happen when I used ground corriander in a previous attempt. The current attempt was with: ESB Fresh Wort Wheat...

My last 5 brews have using the ESB Fresh Wort Kits. I usually add 3L of water to these brews. Tasting the first three batches. I have noticed a distinct lack of bitterness in general. The next batch I will do. I plant to: Do the partial/all grain boiling schedule but with just the 3L of...

I guess the best method of finding out what Im doing wrong would be to get an expert taster to taste it for me. Ive got an aftertaste problem with all my brews so far. Im not sure what exactly what the problem is, or what is causing it. Ive tried different yeasts and different styles of beers...
