    Couldn't tell you the temp to be honest. I do most of my brewing at a mates house. All fermenting happens in his garage.

    Weissbier Bee Cave Brewery Bavarian Hefeweizen

    Made this with a few small gain changes. Swapped in a little bit of dark wheat and Munich malt. Very tasty thanks Ed!

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    I've tried making this with both Nottingham and s-05, DME and LME, and the best tasting I've found is with Nottingham (Chicks like it too). S-05 seemed to ferment more and gave a dryer, higher ABV cider (Higher attenuation rate perhaps?). Need more data points in my analysis though haha.

    Graff Cider with Nottingham (S05 goes too dry for me and foams over easy in the carboy) yeast has been the best so far. Chicks like it because it's a bit sweeter then the usual. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f81/graff-malty-slightly-hopped-cider-117117/ I've also done the applewein thing but...

    Not terribly long but I've been doing an AG brew every week for the last 4 months or so so we've caught on pretty quick. Been making cider for longer. I'll be looking to chuck a few beers in that home brew comp. I've got an IPA and a German wheat that's up to scratch.

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    Laid down my second batch of this arvo. Changed DME to a 1.5kg can of light LME, and used around 12 grams of Nelson Sauvin @ 12% AA (which may have been a little too much =\ ).

    Irish Red Ale Raging Red Irish Red Ale

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Mint Chocolate Stout

    Just made a batch of this yesterday. Changed the hops to what I had in the freezer so used Northern Brewer, Cascade, and Hallertau. I also couldn't find any Hersey's drinking cocoa so gave it a little kiwi twist with hokey pokey flavoured drinking chocolate that had less than 2% fat (Herseys...

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    After 16 days sitting in the pantry my batch is only down to 1.016 and bubbling away. Looks like I won't be bottling it for a wee bit longer..

    Graff (Malty, slightly hopped cider)

    Made a batch of this on the weekend. Hit an OG of 1.060 so should turn out pretty good I'd say

    You weren't joking :tank:

    Joe's Quick Grape Mead

    I started a gallon of this last night. Bubbling along nicely :) No buckwheat but I got the OG to 1.115 since I read on the EC1118 spec sheet it's capable of 18% Alc

    Joe's Ancient Orange Mead

    Here's a picture of my JOAM after two months. It doesn't seem as clear as the other photos I've seen. I followed the recipe to the T.

    Perils of outdoor brewing

    It doesn't have to just be outside. I was heating up a bit of honey to make a mead the other day and all of a sudden bees come flying through the kitchen window.
