Recipies
G'day All,
I've been brewing beer for about 12-18 months using a few recipies that i've found or been given, but have'nt really found anything that I would describe as Brilliant,
So if there is anyone out there that would be willing to share their most prized secret recipie, I would love to have a go at brewing a batch..
Happy Drinkin!
Rob.

G'day Rob,

Are you brewing kits/partials or the whole sheebang??
PS 'cos its a woodies forum, the secret ingredient in every brew is a tsp of wood dust:U

Ok then,
Here's an interesting one:
Coopers Canadian Blonde (chuck their yeast away)
1Kg dry Light Malt (used in place of sugar)
1 Sachet Safale Yeast.
Double decant before bottling
Prime each 750ml bottle with 1tsp CSR White Sugar
Store for 4 weeks at least.

I'm more of a lighter type beer drinker, more along the lines of Pilseners and Bitters and light Lagers, I also dont mind a wheat beer (mainly Redback).

I don't know what ingredients you have tried, but I like to use as a base:
- kit
- 500g dextrose
- 500g light malt
- 200g dried corn syrup (maltodextrin) It doesn't ferment much so it adds "body" so the beer doesn't taste watery and the head stays longer.
change the ratio of malt/dextrose (total 1kg) to change the sweetness. More malt leaves a sweeter malty taste.
I like hoppy beers and put anywhere between 10-25g of hop pellets. I dry hop, which is throw the hops in before I put on the lid.
One I have going at the moment is
Coopers Bavarian (now European lager)
500g dextrose
500g light malt
200g dried corn syrup
25g of Tettnang hops. (dry hopped)
I have made this before and it comes out a bit like Boags St George. Last time though i put the hops in a jug and poured over boiling water and let sit for a while before adding to the fermenter. Brewed at low temp - 10-16 degrees as the kit does come with a real lager yeast. (This is shown by the letter "P" stamped with the batch number

fair enough
I'll hold off on the recipes then for a dark or ale thread

I made this a few months ago and have just bottled another batch.
Its a James Squuire cloan for their amber ale,
1 can Morgans amber ale,
1.5 kg of light malt,
Safale yeast, but I used morgans,
Fuggles hops.
I fermentd it between 21 and 30 degrees, bottled and left it to sit for about 6 weeks before sampling.
If your after a wheat beer then try
1 can of Mutons Wheat beer,
1 brew booster,
200 grams of honey.
Try to avoid using a bush style honey as the eucalyptas in it somtimes will kill of your yeast.
