Not sure why I feel the need to post this, but maybe I just want to publicly confirm something that I've always shied away from, and that's NZ hops. So I've been making a pale ale for the shop the last couple months using the same grain bills and changing out the hops, with the intention to...

Anyone use it? Thoughts? Opinions? Used it as a single hop, and did a 60min addition of it. So their science is right, has a good co-humulone level so can be a good bittering/dual purpose hop As to flavour, getting more banana than cherry. Both are described in the hop description, but...

Alright, so I'd like to take the communities opinion on this. I biotransform all the time, and have learned some hops that are great at it and some that aren't. What is your guys' experience, and what hops do you like to use in biotransformation?

So I brewed an ESB and I'll post the link to the recipe. Can't complain about the taste, but I feel lacing/head retention could be better. Also, any suggestions for really bringing some classic English hop flavour, don't be shy! Other than that, I really love it. Just curious what the...

So I'm trying to brew IPAs all winter here in Australia without going to a heater belt. The ambient right now in the Shop is about 15 C, bit higher when they're fermenting maybe 16-17 C. I've used 34/70 at higher temps and have been supremely disappointed. I just don't feel like it offers...

So I've really been struggling getting my FG into the right threshold on certain recipe. What (Besides mashing temp) is the largest contribution to FG? I play with these recipes all the time, and I can't seem to find out how to drop the FG into the level that it needs to be. The only...

Does everyone have a preference? Personally, after watching David Heath Homebrew's take on the two, I think I'm actually leaning BrewZilla. I'm not one for technology and setting pre programs, Brew Day for me is a day to relax and watch Genus Brewing videos on YouTube. Minus the dashboard...

So I usually use 350g or less if I use Crystal Malts, the guys from Genus Brewing say to go no more than 5% of the grain bill. Thoughts? I'm at an average of about 6.5% Speaking of, I started double pitching, and get MUCH less sweetness now. Should you up the bill for crystal if you're...

Alright guys, so I've been doing pretty well in the world of brewing, and I'm getting to the stage where I'm looking to improve good recipes to great recipes. However, one of the essentials in doing that, is water chemistry. I've been on hold for 20 mins trying to get the chemistry of...

So I'm trying to come up with my own take on a Rauchbier, I think this build is too sweet, and I'm not getting a good gravity for the FG, It should be 1.012, what's the best way to get the FG up? Take a look and let me know what I'm messing up :)...

Hey guys, so I pretty much only use 04 and 05, and I personally enjoy 05 more. Being a homebrewer without all of the fancy equipment, I can't cold crash, or control fermentation temp 100%, both of which I feel would make the 04 better than the 05. Anyways, I've never pitched more than a single...

So I've been having trouble with Keg tapping, especially in beers where I have excessive dry hops. I try to have my beers grain to glass in a week or so, so this is gonna be difficult for me. What are the methods of filtration that you guys use? Keep in mind, I don't have the $ to be out...

Soooooooo, why are all of my recipes set to 19L? I'd love to see per 330mL. Friend of mine has all of his in 330mL, and he didn't change anything, and neither did I? What am I missing? O.o

So the new fad is definitely to do as little boil as you can, followed by just BOMBARDING the dry hop. I see a lot of breweries I enjoy, like Black Hops up in the Gold Coast, do AT LEAST 150g of Dry Hop. I've read a lot of stuff on this, and it seems the biggest concern that exists, is the...

Alright, so I understand the basics of building a hop schedule, how to use certain hops to bitter and certain hops to provide the flavour, what I'm struggling with, is to create new hop schedules with the appropriate back story as to exactly as to how the hop schedule works. I've been using...

I live in Australia, and we're getting ready to enter summer. I live in Sydney, so it won't be as hot as it is up north, but minus Tasmania, the entire continent is HOT. I don't have the option of a fridge to temp control, it's 100% out of the question. I read the article about using a swamp...

So according to the BJCP guidelines, this category doesn't even exist, which completely blew my mind. If you ever come to Aussie Land, you'll learn very quickly that Australia LIVES by the Pale Ale, and you'll find a good Pale Ale Brew anywhere you go for the most part. So I'm having a...

So I have a build I like for this type of an IPA, but since there isn't a TON of them out there, I was wondering what the community had in mind for this type of build? Include Hop profile too if you'd like :)
