I'm about to make a tree change to North East Victoria in the next few months, and am in the process of downsizing ahead of the big move. In the garage I have a collection of a little over 100 empty (and washed) beer bottles. Basically I've kept at least one bottle from every beer I've ever...

So continuing on my brew from this thread http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=53012. So I've got a party on Saturday that I want to have a brew on tap for. Problem is, the Pale Ale I put down the other day isn't quite finished yet, and normally I like to cold condition my...

So last weekend I threw down a quick Coopers Pale Ale so I'll have something on tap for my son's birthday at the end of the month (I'll be kegging). Originally I was going to culture some yeast from a few bottles, but I didn't measure out the amount of dex (not realising the impact it would...

So any day now, I'm going to be a Dad. Just wondering if there are any simple recipes for a beer that I can cellar away for about 18 years? Obviously, if this can be done I'm expect it to not be a plain brew, but I don't have plain tastes myself, and when my son is old enough, I'd like to...

For the last two weeks I've been putting off brewing as I thought I didn't have the time. Today I thought "Stuff it!", and decided to quickly brew up a toucan as my keg of Coopers Stout was getting pretty low. Recipe: 2x MSB Pale Ale cans 1x 15g goldings on the boil for 10mins 1x 15g goldings...

So I did my first stout a little over a week ago, nothing fancy, just a Coopers kit. Took 1 can of Coopers Stout, 1k of Brew Enhancer #2 and topped the fermenter up to 23L, with the bog standard Coopers yeast getting pitched at ~25C. It absolutely took off like a rocket at first, but after...

So I transferred my second ever brew (Brewcraft LCPA kit) to keg on Monday night, and made two, likely fatal mistakes. 1) I didn't check my brewing fridge temperature prior to putting the keg in. As a result, I've frozen it (it's almost slushy-like). 2) I forgot to gas the keg and purge the...
