We Are The Reds

Just bottled my second batch.

I started with an IPA and now I'm trying the Coopers Canadian Blonde.

Anyone else brewing?

I would love to start.
I am going to give home winemaking a go too - helping out the father-in-law with the 2014 vintage out of his backyard, looking forward to this!

Yeah any sort of home booze is a winner in my books especially my bankbooks!

I was talking to the guy at my local home brew shop and he was talking about spirits. He reckons its $800 to get started and within 4 batches you would have your money back.

Nice.
I used to work with a bloke who distilled his own bourbon ... good stuff it was too!

I'm happy at this stage with anything better then drinkable. So far so good!

slight off topic

but anyone looking for a new beer on a summers night i HIGHLY recommend "Stone And Wood Pale ale".

Dan Murphy's have just stopped selling it ( its hard for micro brewers to sell in any great mass ) but can be bought online and is on tap at the Botanic Bar ( corner of north/ east tce.

Thank me later

Ok I'll talk soon!

Are you a member of any brewing groups / clubs Stuckey? I was thinking of going along to the Adelaide Amateur Winemakers & Brewers Club but have no idea whether it will be a closed sort of clique, or if they would welcome beginners that don't have much (or any) experience yet.

No I'm not. But I would say if you're a novice keen to learn I doubt many would turn you away.

I think its like here, if you just introduce yourself people will welcome you!

I'm still annoyed I missed the Craft Beer Rising last weekend.

Started at Mountain Goat pale ale today.

I like my hops so I used the hops that came with it and bought some cascade hops as well.

I hop its good!

Nice play on words

Just cracked my hopped brew. Definitely my best brew yet. I certainly recommend giving hops a try.

Happy International Beer Day everyone!
May it be filled with malty, yeasty, hoppy goodness.

Time for a cold one.

Cheers Old Gregg!
