A question for those in the know.
I’ve just moved to a rural setting with only tank water no town water available, is it wise to treat this water before I brew with it? -------------------- This post is a natural product.

Ditto re the yeast,...using a quality yeast will improve the taste, and you will have more complete fermentation. The brew shop I use is WA only http://www.westbrew.com.au/ and they have Brew Booster packs which you use instead of 1kg of glucose, they have a full range depending on what beer you are making, but typically usually with extra malt hops etc to make a normal brew just that much better. Brew shops on your side of Aus will likely have similar offerings. Another reasonble site with some recipies,, brewing hints etc is http://www.brewcraft.com.au/wawcs018151/tn-home.html Cheers -------------------- |

good luck ooops ... I agree with BSA and your son about cleanliness. Just make sure everything is thoroughly rinsed with water after sterilizing or you might get a flat one. Beer hates soap. Also, you might consider using a nice yeast like Saflager for your pils instead of the yeast that comes with the kit. Just for extra flavour. For general info I've found Homebrew and Beer a pretty good site. And has a good forum too. cheers k -------------------- Have a crack, ... and let life decide.

We keep on bumping into each other Ooops  Follow instructions and remember with brewing cleanliness is next to Godliness. What Pils are you going to brew? -------------------- |

The Dog Bolter(English strong ale)
1xMuntons Traditional Bitter. 1kg dark dry malt. 1xmuntons gold yeast Final volume with water added is 13L and ends up around 8.3% I also added 300g corn syrup 10g willamette hops I doubled up on the first lot of ingreients to make 26litres and it wet ballistic foaming out of the airlock like a brew possessed and I lost a litre or so of jiggle juice  Cheers PS A dark syrupy beer best described as yum but let friends know of % level if they are driving
