I am a beginner in the world of home brewing. I plan to buy ingredients from Grain and Grape in Yarraville and wondered if anyone has any tips about their stock or ideas about successful process. My first batch last year sucked. I then got a voucher to Barleycorn Brewery in Oakleigh. I tried an IPA which came out more like an amber ale and lacked the hoppy punch i really wanted.
So I thought i'd start a topic about beery goodness. Please feel free to comment about your own experiences, recipes, tips and favourite beers etc.
