I Want To Learn Ag Brewing

[bekhenry]

Hi Everyone,
I'd really like to get into AG brewing but i dont know where to start - ive read a heap about it but i'd love to see how its done in real life and get an idea on how much better AG can be form brewing out of a can.
Any chance i can tag along the next time somebody is doing a brew?

If you let everyone know where you are you might find someone easier....

I'm sure there are lots of people willing to have a brewday assistant but it might help if you update your location
Cheers

I would nearly have to say that if you can't fill the form out at the start, AG is not for you!!

bek,

There is a brewday happening on the 6th December if I am not mistaken. I forget who is organising it but that would be perfect for you to see how it is all done.

Do you brew yet or are you just starting out?

Cheers,

MM

 

[komodo]

To my knowledge he has done kits, partials and FWKs

Hi all, thanks for all the helpful replys. Yes Komodo im in Woronora (nice memory!), I've been brewing for about 3 years on and off but mostly from kits, have tried a FWKs and wasnt impressed.
I did see the brew day on the 6th but wasnt quite sure how the list works and dont really understand the AG language (what on earth is a cube?) Maybe you're right 'Beer foral' AG might be beyond my tiny brain.

Don't put yourself down, Thats what we are here for!!

Sorry couldn't help myself, I hope you find a brew day to join in on. Pity we are so far away, I am always looking for some one to crush my grain for me. I think I wore my last 2 assistants out. HAHA

It is great fun. I was the same at first but it really isn't as hard as some of the brewers make it out to be. Have fun and learn from others, plenty of experience on this forum.

As per my previous response, you're welcome to come along. don't worry about the list or the lingo. A cube is a plastic container, the list was for those attending to put dibs in for the days output.

Just drop me a PM & I'll give you my addy. You'll learn more in a day seeing what goes on & chatting to like minded guys than you will from a day's reading....

I was just having a dig, we are not all nuclear physicists on this site!!
If you fill out your details, when you ask a question about locality people will know where you are thats all.

Don't be scared to get amongst it, we all had to start somewhere.

Hi,
aware this may be way to late, didn't see the thread until now.
I'm brewing All Grain (BIAB) in Brighton-le-Sands tomorrow Saturday 21.11 if you want to see how easy it is just send me a PM and I'll send you the address.
I'll be brewing my first lager tomorrow from about 10 to 2-3pm, so far I;ve only made ales but the whole AG thing is a lot less complicated than it sounds.

With a $20 pot from BigW and a grain bag + thermometer you can start on the slippery slope that is AG..
