Do you know if this is all stores? BFC are in NSW as well

Woolworths at Auburn had Canadian Blonde and Aus Pale ale for $5 each - when I say had, that I because I bought all 8 of them.......

wine bottles are fine - just use corked bottles - champagne are the best

I ended up doing the following,

2 x Canadian Blonde Kits
2Kgs of Coopers BE1
500Grams of LDME
250Grams of YellowBox
24Grams of Cluster
50 Grams of Chech Saaz
50 Grams of Hersbruker (spelling)
250 Grams of Crystal

Boiled up 4 litres of water, added the cluster, left for 15 minutes added to sugars ...

1 x Little Creatures Pale Ale (Only ever had the bright Ale) - Not bad, pretty boring - taste's almost identical to the Bright Ale, just not as hoppy
1 x Mattilda Bay Redback Wheat - Not good at all - smelt horrible
1 x Grolsh Lager - Boring
1 x Schemer Pils (Spelling) - Not bad, a little bland
1 x ...

Hey Guys,

I just got back from Dan Murphy's and whilst I was there I was going to grab a bottle of Jim Beam or something, but instead I thought I would have a beer dinner. I grabbed a single bottle of 6 beers that I have read about on here as being delicious or people asking for clones

I got
1 x ...

Hey Guys,

I had a look at my stocks and all I have left are 2 Coopers Canadian Blonde Kits and 1 Toohey's Lager kit.

I also have 3 BE2's 3 BE1's about 2 Kgs LDME and a whole bunch of Cluster, Cascade, Williamette, Hersbruker and Saaz hops

I have never made the ...

Hey guys,

I was reading about 2 can screamers i.e. no sugar just 2 cans into 20 litres,

does this then mean I could do 1 can into 11.5lites? with no sugar?

If so would I still boil some water and bitter it? add aroma hop etc? and then just add the extract into the water at the end?

sorry a little off topic - what are the benifits of using an existing trub as your starter?

Do you still need to add some yeast?

Hey Guys,

I have just put together,

1.5kg of BE2
500grams of LDME
2 Litres or Water
125 Grams of Vienna
Boiled with 12Grams of POR
Added 24 grams of Saaz, however, just before I was about the turn off the boil, it burn't....


It's a cheap pot and the wort burn't to the pot

It smells ok, but do ...

Is this sold - or is it still available?

To do a 46L brew you'd have to use every ingredient listed at the top to get a full strength beer.

I would throw it all in then add:

30g Willamette @ 15
30g Hersbrucker @ 5
30g Hersbrucker dry hopped

By the way do you really have 8kgs of hops?

Cheers,

And yes, I have approx 8 Kgs of pellets ...

How long was it refrigerated for? The cloud may settle if it was in the fridge for a day or less.

Thanks Pale,

It was only in the freezer for about 40 minutes - In the bottle before I chilled it, it was crystal clear, but once chilled and poured into a glass........

Hey Guys,

Just after some quick advice, I had a taste of my first brew, it was a MSB Two Row Wheat Lager - no hops or any other additives, it was brewed on the 23/12 and then bottled on the 31/12. I had one last night and I was actually quite impressed.

However I have a couple of quick questions ...

If I did a 23 or 46L brew - do you guys think the headroom in the fermenter will cause a problem

the old man thinks that this will be the case,

Cheers,
Greg

That is the eventual plan, but just a bit short on bottles at the moment - give me a couple of weeks

Hi Guys,

Ok, if some of you remember, I have 2 75L fermenters but they had a "varnish" type smell to them. I have taken your advice and soaked them in bleach for 1 week and the smell has gone and no left over bleach smell either. WOOO HOOOO

Ok, now the problem I have is the drum are not labeled ...

I know almost all Tooheys branded products i.e. New, old etc - take 5 days from start to finish.

I know I am a noob to the home brewing game, but after talking to my dad last night - he is one of the head scientists at Lion Nathan - he advised the best way would be to try to get the beer to foam up when putting into the bottle. Then cap with the foam flowing out. This is reduce the amount of ...
