G'day Well the question is, I have never tried an American wheat beer as its a big swim to get there and drink one. I want to make one soon and you guys and girls (is there any girls), may be able to help me. Can you steer me in the right direction of a good American Wheat beer recipe, as what I can...

Hi Guys Thanks for the response I think I will leave out the spices in the mash. Just use them in the boil. I have some dried orange peel from the local Asian shop and some fresh Indian Corianda. Will let you know how I goes as I will post the recipe after I have made it. I intend to use some raw wh...

G'day Well i do sometimes read the forum but time gets away and well you all know. I'am going to brew your wit beer by Freon12 (Hi Freon12) but I might make a change or two (only little ones). One will be a double decoction mash, as this mash has 40% of the mash boiled twice I am wondering if I shou...

Hi all Well all I use is beertools for my recipes and with some new improvements it will only get better. As for the results I have 6 beers in the up and coming Australian titles and 4 beers entered into the NSW Comp. All these beers were generated from beertools and the secret is THINK what you are...

I do hope you win next year and you can have all the 100 liters. That way I don't have to have a BBQ with friends who will drink it all.
Keep up your brewing
Cheers

I should imagine you have all seen the new Coopers range of the Brewmasters Series. The yeasts in this series have a good (or best) quality DCL yeasts and should not be mistaken as the current yeast used in the old kits. The Wheat beer even hase a wheat ale yeast. I know they are a bit late to bring...

Hi Guys I have a white lab wit beer yeast and I thought I better use it, but I need some help if possible. 1. I brewed a wit some time ago and it was very clear and entered it in Australia's biggest competition and the results were its a great lager, not to style. 2. This next one I feel I must chan...

Hi All
We brewers downunder may have solved the nasty brew haze problem (well not me).
But first I will not have the answer for at least 2 months as our brewing guru from North Queensland will let us know then. (if its true the secret is simple)

Just to let you know I ferment under controlled temperature for ales at 18 degress C. I dont want to take out ...
