Here here! Thank to Colin for hosting. Everyone should be proud of their beer but be ready to up the ante for next time. Dry Stout, a tough nut to crack... save some over for St Patricks Day! Well done Mr Cherry and Mr Cooper for a couple of very...

ah right. so, Brewers coop (and for that matter most Brewcraft aligned homebrew stores) sell heat pads and heat belts - pads you sit the fermenter on, and belts wrap it. Either of those would work. Check out your local shop. I've been thinking of...

Agreed. Steph, Jonny's and "Mystery Brewer X" award winning beer was pretty stunning! Good to finally meet some of you, I'm sure there were a number of others I never got to say hi too. Twisted Hop IPA, Sauvin Pils, Challenger and Goldings Bitter...

To prepare for winter. Plus I do need somewhere to store the brew in darkness so I would modify the box for the seasons.

To minimise the carbon did you try adjusting out those washers by the valves? If you have you tried, you'll either need to find a way to get more oxygen or less gas in your mix.

Hey guys first time poster long time reader. I'm looking into making a hot box or heating pad (or even buying one) but can't seem to find anywhere that sells them or how to make one. Any ideas? Thanks.

The Lady Glass

Frisky Frogs & Men in Kilts

The day/night of 3 October was spent at a miniature Munich Oktoberfest at White Cliffs Organic Brewery in Urenui, Taranaki – all of the fun with a fraction of the people (about 450). With a free stein on entry, songbook for the Oompah Band (New Plymouth Brass Band) and a full Bavarian meal, these country folk sure do know how to throw a decent festival. I guess the one benefit of drinking from a stein (not The Lady Glass’ usual choice of vessel) is the ability to slam your glass into someone els… Continue

Rough Wise Guy Ale

Most of my inspiration comes from sitting on the crapper, reading through a stash of BYO magazines. The latest issue has an article about Cloning beers, giving an example of Rogue Dead Guy Ale. This is nothing like it. The original called for 4kg Pale, 1.8kg Munich and 500g Carastan malt. Decided to break down the Munich and Carastan into Munich II, Vienna, Crystal and Melanoidin and a bit of Roast. 20 mins into the mash and god knows how it will turn out.

Up the Ginga Irish Red Ale

Already thinking about how I'm going to re-use my 1084 yeast cake from the stout I brewed last, after a little washing. The fermentation did in the end take off, slow and steady all the way. A little worried by floaties on the surface, but seems like the yeast hasn't yet dropped and a taste out of the carboy yields a pretty terrific brew- a couple of days in the fridge will cure that.

I'm a relatively large… Continue

First Post - Not so Ordinary Bitter, Searching for Stout

Finally decided to start up a brewing blog. I have a work blog which gets a lot of geeky stuff, and given it's syndicated on a bunch of technical planets, figured realbeernz was the place to host it. I'll mostly talk about the brewing gear that I buy, magazine articles I'm reading, and the beer that I'm brewing (and will likely learn from the comments or pass on the knowledge that I've been privileged to learn).… Continue

Home roasted barley

Hi

Can I please receive feedback from the home brew community about the following idea.

Are any of you interested in home roasted barley?

I roast my own coffee beans. When I started home brew a few months ago with a friend I realized brewing also uses roasting techniques with the different malts.

Comments and advice welcome

Thanks
Ed Main
