What are your favourite recipes and what equipment do you use for your brews?

 

[gallagher]

Nothing yet. I got a kegerator but get someone else to brew. Any tips on where to start and a rough cost?

I brew in a fermentasaurus, but have used the cooper fermenters in the past and they are fine, especially for someone just starting out. I use a fridge with a temp control to maintain temp for the brew. I then transfer to a keg. I usually have 2 19l kegs of different brews and use a 5l growler for storing in the fridge or taking to BBQ etc. My brew fridge is in the shed lol

I always recommend someone starting out to just start with a kit to get used to the process, avoid the Lagers to start with as they are more temp sensitive. Once you have that process down visit a brew shop and get one of their recipes to start to learn about making your own mash and as you become confident in that start the experiment with the recipe a little.

Pretty much just go get a cheap fermenter and a cheap brew and have a crack, if you enjoy it you can always upgrade the fermenter later. I love nothing more than the smeall of a brew fermenting away.

I have 2 fridges lol, one I have connected a temp control to allow me to control the temp when brewing. I brew a lot of stouts so keep those around 25 degrees, when doing a lager they are around 12 degrees. I wouldn't buy a fridge to ferment in to start, just avoid lagers and use a jumper if it gets too cold or a wet tshirt if it gets hot and store in a dark place while brewing.

Coopers kits fit nicely in a bar fridge that doesn't have a freezer section so I started with one of those.

My favourite brews are Stout recipes I have modified over the years. If I have friends coming over and know with enough notice I will find a recipe for a replica of their favourite beer.

My stout I have named Red Beard Stout.

What fermenter do you use? Do you bottle or keg?

 

[BenzaTiger]

I just finished 8 Vb brews, have to say they were lovely, just in time for kick off 😉

 

[NT_Tiger]

When I was making beer I used to like a kit called 'Best' Bitter. It was a pommy kit and always turned out nice without too much tweaking. This was a while ago so I don't know if it's still on the market.
I don't brew beer any more because I grow fruit, so it's basically free to make fruit wines. I've just bottled a passionfruit wine that is very smooth but will knock you like a Simon Dwyer hit. I still have a cask of banana wine ready for bottling, also smooth and strong.
