I've been brewing for a few years now and a mate has asked to provide a bunch of beer for his upcoming 40th. I would prefer not to bottle 120L of beer for the event so am considering getting a keg setup for events like this. I've been thinking of the following: 30L kegs with a or d type spears...

Has anyone had a go at something like the Green Beacon Mollyhawk Aussie Wheat Ale? Some other takes on the Aussie wheat ale style I've tasted or come across are the Hughie Wheat Ale and Pirate life Wheat Ale. I had some Mollyhawks over the holiday break and loved them so am going to try make...

I've had two of these so far in my time brewing. One with a brand new plastic fermentor that ruined two batches - one tasted terrible and the net was drinkable but still twangy. The next infection struck in a very similar fashion with two recent batches from a formerly trusty older fermentor...
