Hello, my name is Stu, I'm from Perth and I have just started brewing from home. I've always liked trying new beers and breweries and just thought making my own was the next step. I think it's all quite interesting. I'm engaged and have a 4 month old son, which makes brewing a great hobby as it can be done from home. I'm also a keen fisho, but with a young kid it's hard finding time to go.
My first brew was a ginger beer made from: Coopers kit
365g brown sugar
640g raw sugar
130g honey
100g thinly sliced ginger
1/2 tea spoon chilli powder (medium)
juice of one lemon
3 litres water for boil
Coopers yeast
This seems to be going really well, but the OG was only 1025. The alcohol content doesn't bother me although it will be interesting to see what it turns out at.
The second brew is as on my post in common ground, where I stuffed up and added 3 tablespoons of salt flakes. Seems to be going ok.
The next brew that I'd like to do would be a wit and then seperate the brew and do two halves, with the second half being a strawberry beer. Hopefully I can make this work. Does any one have a good wit recipe, starting with a can?
Thanks
Stu
