We all brew for one reason - because we love beer! Whats your favourite beer - whether its to brew or to enjoy!?

NOTE: of course there are so many specific types of beer - these are just very general options!! :lol:

Beau, currently brewing a Blackrock Pilsener with a Brewcraft Czech Pilsener conversion kit and saflager S-23 yeast. Hopefully it'll be a bonza drop!

I'll get right on that, Black Rock are my favourite kits. Export pilsner or pilsner blonde? I've heard good things about both and can't decide.

I would think it is an export pilsner. It's the beer kit converter no. 62.

Beau, the next Pilsner I might do is the Morgans Golden Saaz with the kit converter. I'm also going to try the Perkins Larger + Black Rock Amber Malt extract.

Try the #62 with a muntons premium pilsner, i did one of these a little while back and it was fantastic, also add 500gm dry wheat malt, comes out as close to stella as ive ever tried :lol: :lol:

Where is the 'All of the Above' option? Or the 'Whats cold?' option. This is a very hard question.

My last two batches: 78 Col Coffin Barleywine, 79 Amarillo Wheat.
In the fermenter: 80 Lady Liberty Pale Ale
Planned: A steam, a stout and still to decide.

Sorry, just can't limit my self. 8)

Cheers,
Greg

Coming into summer it has to be either pilsner, PA, IPA or dark lagers.

I reckon the tooheys draught is the best brew for money you can get.It always has good head and tastes great.I use liquid malt to brew this stuff,not sugar though. :D
