Hi im Stu,

Im 28 and live near Midland in Western Australia. I have been brewing almost constantly for a 3-4 yrs now. Beginning in kit and kilo fashion, with brands like coopers, beermakers, malt shovel, in a range of styles. Also during this time I have tried many different commercial beer styles, some favourites being hoegaarden, and little creatures pale ale. All with the purpose of seeking a wonderful tasting brew(s). I have read thru a few books including Palmers "how to brew", which are very helpful. I mainly brew now with the brand esb , often being the bavarian wheat style, as its more similar to hoegaarden than any other beer i have brewed. I have not yet graduated from the kit or dry yeast sachets, however im interested in culturing yeast from a bottle, or trying a liquid yeast, and trying out some of the recipes and tips posted on this great forum. I am also collecting bottles from different beers around the world, though there are only around 15-20 or so at the moment

hope to be able to add something to this site in the future

cheers! :beerbang:

It is a good idea to try culturing yeast from beer bottles, Hoegaarden, Coopers Pale and Sparkling Ales etc before buying a pricey liquid yeast.

Jovial Monk I think you are wise to suggest that option, as a liquid yeast could be obtained quite cheap witha beer to drink as well. I like the hoegaarden option but
from what research I have done, I thought that a different yeast was substituted for bottle conditioning (in hoegrdn case).

hi stu, I'm stu too.

Between us, and disco stu and ducatiboy stu on other phorums, there is a quiet brew revolution under way. Just don't let anyone else hear about it

I was going to suggest you check out the active AHB based WA brew scene, but asher beat me to it. If you can get to a WA brew day soon, do so. There is nothing like seeing an all grain beer being made to make you realise how easy it is.

awrabest for now

I have already invited this stu to have a few beers with us on Friday night at Moon & Sixpence.

Any other Perth brewers feel like a couple of nice English pints (Speckled Hen et. al. on tap) join us from 5ish this Fri.

There will be some hops swapped but mainly an excuse to have a few.

Hi Stu-454

I see you are a fan of Little Creatures Pale Ale. Try to come along on Friday and I will bring you a bottle of my most recent incarnation of Jayses APA which is a close match to this beer.

hehe... meeting in a pub and swapping hops...
Better make sure the cops don't see you or they may confiscate it and try and smoke it
