Thought you find this amusing, have seen a couple of articles on brews done by inmates. Still makes you laugh, and at least no one was hurt and the guards didn't over react.

Disclaimer: That was the heading the paper gave not ...

I tried one of the Amber Ales and was not impressed, it is brewed in New Zealend for ALDI. The small head I got when poured quickly dispersed and the beer tasted flat, it actually reminded me of a draught beer that had been left in the glass a bit long before drinking, I was hoping for a JS type ...

it says it makes 28 x 12oz servings. I'm not great with conversions but I put that at about 10L which is not to bad.

Yeh, seen them before, but you are still required you to make the beer before putting into those bottles. This machine is an all in 1 unit. You have no control with the flavor but has to better than commercial beer.

This unit would probably not appeal to most people on this forum but I can see some ...

Found this, though a few people might find interesting

RRP for about AU$25O

although I havn't found prices for the Beer Mixes or the CO2 bulbs.

That PDF looks like a good read, I have had a quick look but the conversions are doing by head in. I am going to find an AG recipe I like the look of and attempt to covert it.

I think I'll use this method for the next 6 months until the house is complete and I have room to start AG's. I still ...

Thanks,

I have put in a late order to Santa for some of those books. Before I buy or make any equipment you will surely hear from me again.

I will do some further investigation on what u suggested, I just assumed the next step was Partial, if anyone could post or link to a recipe that ...

Mid 2007 after my new house is completed and I have more room I am planning on moving to Partial then AG brewing. I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good reading for a K&K brewer who is looking to advance himself.

I had ther same question when I racked but didn't raise it

I have only Racked once and lost about 4 Litres all up. Went from about 22L to about 18L

The only time I racked I had a Sediment Reducer on when I went to secondary fermenter and Lost about 2 litres, Then I bulked primed from secondary ...

As far as I know they do, but to be honest I haven't had one in a while. My bottle local shop doesn't keep it anymore they said they never sold enough. They seemed to think cause it was called "India" that it put poeple off, maybe it does. The Coles and Safeway supermarkets in town don't sell it ...

well I did it, my first stove top boil. Yay

The only problem I had was that my Teabag of hops broke, will the hoppy mush that came out just sink to the bottom after a while?

James Squire is the only commercial beer I keep in the fridge, local bottleshop lets me mix my 6pack or slab. Not a big fan of the Golden Ale, but I like the Orginal Ale, Porter and Pilsner (more of a cross between and Lager and ale). )Haven't made it to thier 2 brewhouses in Melbourne but working ...

Thanks,

Seems simple enough.

Hiyas,

I have only 1 prepared brew to go before I try my first stout/porter recipe, and looking at some tips.

Currently I have the following ingredients

1.7 kg Thomas Coopers Irish Stout
1 kg Morgans Master Blend Chocolat Malt

Will these go together and what else if anything should I add?

I worked out the cost of my beer drinking and brewing the last 12 months and got a surprise.It has cost me 1480 dollars roughly for 2250 bottles drunk between 2 people,i drink most of them.For an eqivalent amount commercially would have cost me around 3300 dollars!!!! I pay around eleven dollars ...

First off I have to say I love this site, everyone is really helpful. One day I hope I can answer peoples questions instead of just asking.

Ok, I have done 2 brews so far all the basic method as specified on the Kit cans. Am now ready to try my first stove top boil, I have purchased a 15lt pot ...

I have of those 3in1 25L fermenters that in a past life I used to make other things. I think the element in it is 1350W

I have really just started home brewing beer. Currently I have only done Kits, Brew enhancers and Finishing hop brews. I wondering, since it is a 3in1 fermenter and I only used it ...

I have been using anything that would hold beer for a while, found a bar accessory shop at a shopping centre in werribee and picked up a couple of 425ml headmaster glasses. When I got home I noticed that the bottom was course. Looked em up on the web to and found out the bottoms are specifically ...

Thanks brewers

I think for my first batch or 2 I will rack to secondary. But i plan to also try keeping in primary ferementer a bit longer and compare.

I was recently at a party and I had the pleasure to have a drink with several I suppose you could call them professional brewers/Chemists (most retired now). That in itself was a very interesting experience. One thing I did pick up was that storing beer in green bottles is bad for the beer, they did ...
