Thanks for the link BierMeister, apparantly John Palmer is the man when it comes to homebrewing in the States and the homebrewing scene over here is ridiculously huge. For those who haven't seen his site there is also Michael Jackson, the beer hunter, for appreciaters of all that is important in life.

No worries Growler & 1/2 Pint. we're from sister cities after all. Yeap Mr Jackson's site is good. Keep the free info coming.

Just found this forum, and I've already learned heaps from it.

I started brewing about a year ago and so far Ive done:

2 kit and kilos
2 modified kits (ie with diferent sugars and added hops)
1 all grain (not my best brew, but brilliant none the less)
1 "all grain" alcoholic ginger beer (ie not from a can, just yeast, ginger and glucose)
1 partial mash.

The partial mash is ticking over in the fermenter at the moment. This is my first own recipe, and consists of stuff I picked off the shelf from my homebrew shop. Not much thought went into the recipe, and half the fun will be finding out exactly how this thing will taste (the other half will be drinking it, duh). I'll post the recipe if it's any good

G'day James. I think I'm going to have to start reading up on doing a mash. I've been voraciously consuming all beer-brewing info I can find, even started reading up on yeast culturing yesterday. Hope it goes well.

to rwh and pretty much anyone else interested in doing their first full mash:

I found "The complete Joy of Home Brewing" by Charlie Parpazan to be very helpful with making the transition.
