Hi Team, I live in New Zealand. We have a big number of homebrewers in New Zealand. However, we have no "over-arching" national homebrew entity as such. SOBA is our current closest, which is the society of Beer Advocates, they generally operate with a commercial intent (i.e. they have little...

Basically, I want to make a Wee Heavy. But, I will have a perfect yeast cake of WY1469 West Yorkshire, from a Best bitter, that I'd love to use (alternatively I can use this yeast for an NEIPA which works really well). The recipe is super simple. 93% Maris Otter 5% Munich or Vienna (not sure...

As you can see I like to make my brewing gear a little different from the normal things. This Gaddis kegerator has served me well and will now become my primary fermentation chamber. So now I’m just starting to build a proper keezer, the main reason is my 2 year old son has seen me pull the...

I got hold of a cheap enough freezer so I can commence my new keezer and retire the TARDIS to a fermentation chamber for my incoming SSbrewtech Concial i'm planning to buy. Now I've heard differing reports from my colleagues who are certified fridgies. most say attaching the wood directly to...

Hi all, I'm mid design on my new Keezer (The old Tardis is being retired to a Fermentation Fridge). These items come in A4 paper quality print, my idea is to have the original 6 somewhat scatter around symmetrically on the bar top. but I'm struggling to find a way to add these into the keezer...

Hi Guys, I'm the guy who converted his kegerator to look like a TARDIS from Doctor Who. LINK: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/i-built-my-own-tardis-kegorator.565103/ Now I'm moving home, and I'll be building a Keezer with Coffin top so it can sit inside my living room (easy access...

Here's the Crux of it. I recently entered the world of gentlemans cocktails, namely the "old fashioned" an old fashioned is as follows: "The Old Fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters, then adding alcohol, originally whiskey but now sometimes brandy, and finally a twist of...

I recently judged my first BJCP competition over here in NZ, and we came across what was called a "Jellytip Stout" (In New Zealand a Jelly tip is an icecream on a stick using coconut/vanilla icecream as the main base, with a raspberry jelly top section, and covered in chocolate). google if if...

Hi, All, A quick follow up from the build I did for my Kegerator :) I decided to gut my smalled garage/shed. and build a bar to suit my homebrewing lifestyle..... so here goes.

Thers a commercial Brewery I visited last year, who saidthat they go from 1.062 - 1.006 on their IPA! and all they're using is simple old US-05/001. It's a fantastic IPA and theres a good blag that posted up the suggested recipe (although he seems to hit where I do inregard to FG's. (It's...

Looking for an app for taplist in my bar build. Rather than a raspberry pi seytup etc. loking for something simple.

this is most likely very weird, and well and truly out of style. but I have WY1469 slurry waitin to be used. and 100g of a mix of Simcoe/Amarillo/NelsonSauvin/Waimea so I thought about doing what is essentially an american stout, but with lactose..... making it an American Milk Stout...

Having trouble tracking down a beer engine in my country. so i though id see if i could make one. but as its for a home bar, I'd prefer not to usethe thread from teh BYO at this stage ( it doesn't look great on an all wood bar.) So my idea is to get a stout tap (with guinness font), and...

I have the hops all weighed out, then someone gives me a smackpack of WY1469 to use (FYI - its a good score, cos I lovethis yeast in Dark English style beers) But I've not used it in a strong IPA or Hoppy Pale Ale. Has anyone used this yeast in said clone? Or have any thoughts on if it would...

Hi All, here in Christchurch New Zealand, we have just officially started a Homebrew club/association. I wanted to knowwhat you americans etc. do at your meets and what ideas you have for your memebers to stay engaged, and excited about paying a membership fee each year. Our launch was...

Hi Everyone, I am about to head back to New Zealand after an Epic 5 week tour of the USA. After visiting stone in Escondido, I found one of my favourite beers from them was the Stone delicious IPA. I won't have access to it when I go back. So want to work on a clone version of it. Here's...
