funny thing about home brew is the guy that is used to it (the brewer) reckons it tastes great while everyone else thinks it tastes like pus!
Hygiene is the key to any ferment, ya get funky yeast in there and ya get funky aromas and flavour compounds. Prep as you would for open heart surgery and then clean it all again, just to be sure.
the beer is not to blame..........
Important info....please take the time to read.
Don't wash your hair in the shower!!!
It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!!
INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER WITH IT
WARNING TO US ALL!!!
I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower!
When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very
clearly on the shampoo label is this warning,
"FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME."
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering
with Dawn dishwashing soap instead.
Its label reads,
"DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."
Problem solved!
If I don't answer the phone I'll be in the shower!
^^^I tend to stay off the beers when brewing, I developed a bad habit of leaving taps open and ingredients out.
^^^ Know what you mean there. I try to get brewing nice and early in the morning and leave the drinking till later in the day, but when you have a few mates around for the brew day she goes pear shaped!
Completely not what you are looking for, but awesome nonetheless. I've overlooked the giant cans for too long. Tastes better.
It's about a 6 pack worth. Put back in fridge after pouring. It really does taste better (and not compared to that brewed under license in Australia stuff).
Just back from couple of weeks in Thailand, the local Chang beer is up there at 6.2% alco and the stubbies are 640ml. Couple of those and your gonski.
This is going back awhile - dad was the brewmaster I matured into the permanent taster.
We normally had two brews o/lapping Lager and a bitter. The bit which P'..d me off was the sterilising..
The solution bought a few plastic beer barrels 1/4 ferkin size (2 ferkins = a barrel I think) they had a tap slightly up from the bottom - with the lager you could put a sparklet cartidge in lid section.
Worked a treat only had to sterilise the barrel. But - we lived in UK and the bitter smacked at 56 Farenheit (bloody warm - I know 
) so would need to get a bit of space in the beer fridge over here.
On topic - Float -- maaaate - easy solution 3 days on 4 days off. Loved the Coopers in Adelaide - not so good else where - current fattener of choice is BLUE SKY pilsner in a word - CRISP
Marketing genius at play - saw some cider called 'Dirty Granny' (5.6%??) might wrap some up for a cringle - and stand back[}:)] -- some of the cider round Taunton in Somerset (straight from the farm gate) would have bits still doing laps but a couple of pints and U did not care what U where wearing & as for 301 and down - 
no chance - even shove haypenny (spelling??) (half penny) got a bit tragic - skate board back to bed was good though

every home brewer I know drinks too much! (I drink too much) but if I home brewed I'd be worse
I was done.
