    Nelsons Revenge

    NR is definitely a keeper. It sure does improve with age. I've got 2 kits that I've got waiting for the weather to cool down before I brew them. I can't wait! I've been sitting on them for the best part of a year now. There's no way I'm risking them in the Queensland summer months, I never...

    Hydrometer question

    You're probably best going with the "later" reading after any gas bubbles have had the chance to escape and stop sticking to the hydrometer..... Unless of course it's got a leak and is slowly sinking.

    Ingredient prices. Can this be beaten?

    Thanks Stesmi, rotokeg are to the best of my knowledge available in NZ at silly money. I'll stick to bottles, I've thought about Cornykeg, but I'm not in love with fizzy beer. Then there's the temperature control etc etc. I like my brewing like the contents of my head.... Simple.

    Ingredient prices. Can this be beaten?

    Yes, funny that, I guess it's something being impossible to source that makes it desirable. I have tried "water containers" as kegs, and even with the low level of carbonation I prefer, blown the tap out..... And that was down south where the winters were cold. As for playing with kits, I've...

    Ingredient prices. Can this be beaten?

    Most 1.7kg kit tins sell here in Queensland for about $15 give or take, and with £1 buying just shy of $2 I guess that's cheap for UK prices. (suffice to say there's no shortage of Coopers kits here!) 25kg dextrose from hbs is $45 When I can get a decent UK kit like a Woodfordes it is about...

    freeze fermenting?

    Isn't it crazy? It's perfectly legal to make beer, it's perfectly legal to make wine, yet if you want to get rid of some excess water from your brew you break the law. That's life

    Hi from the sunny north east coast.

    Hi folks, and hello from beautiful tropical Queensland, Australia. I'm a long time resident of Essex who returned to the country of origin. I'm of the opinion that some clever blokes put the homebrew kits together so in deference to them they are all I make. I'm a great lover of English...

    First time bottling - do I need to sterilize new bottles?

    Be anal about cleaning. It's heartbreaking is your first, and hopefully last infected brew. Avoid heartbreak at all costs. It takes very few minutes.
