Thanks guys.

It looks like I will use it as a flavour additive only, to try and extract the sugars is hard work :D

My plan is to brew a wheat beer kit, a kilo and a half of pale malt, and chuck some malted barley grain in a pot with some of my wheat grain, and let it soak and simmer for a while ...

Hey guys,

Recently we travelled to Dirranbandi, about 500 kays inland on the QLD Border, to do some hunting of pigs. The harvest was on and it seemed a good idea to make a beer from a small bag of the 100 billion tonnes of grain lying around :D

I have read up on this site and others, and the ...

There you go. Thanks guys for a (now) pretty good explanation.

I drink my beer within a couple months at the longest, so I will quite happily use pet.

I had no idea that was the case dogger, so eventually the bottles must burst because of all the oxygen in them- how does soft drink which is heavily carbonated survive?

The bitterness is still there but it is no longer overpowering. HAd a couple of longies the other night and was pretty impressed. But my favourite old is the ...

Hey guys- I have just started using pet. No experience yet, but I ...

Hey guys.

I just bottled a week ago a mix of two Cascade Dark ales.

With two yeasts I had a fountain out the top for about 36 hours.

Just tasted one after a week in bottles and it is terrible- so bitter that your eyes water!

It is still green though, so there may still be some hope. The ...

Hey guys, first post!

Other than all the usual suspects listed previously, I wish to make another nomination.

See we were getting a bit low on conditioned beer at the end of the Christmas drinking period, so we bunged a couple of Darwin Stubbies (a cub product iirc) in the fridge. Turns out the ...
