Aussie APA recipe
One of the main reasons for heading Down Under this winter was to see my good friend Tim. On our first night in Sydney we hit the local tap houses – Four Pines, Nomads and Seventh Day – with his neighbour Ric. After a few I was eagerly convincing them to start brewing at home… “don’t worry it’s easy; you’ll save a small fortune” etc, etc. Anyway, after a few more they purchased the equipment: a Robobrew, FermZilla and mini kegs.
Aussie ‘Hoppy‘ NEIPA recipe
This NEIPA could definitely break the bank of the more penny counting brewer thanks to the fancy hops. But it’s worth it! When adding the hops at flame out don’t forget to use the whirlpool technique featured in this issue.
Homebrewing with Galena hops
Directly descended from Brewer’s Gold, Galena was one of the first hops we planted on our farm. They’re now in their third year (has it been that long?!). We imported these hops from America and they’ve thrived in our rich Devon soil.
Notes from the hop farm – Spring 2020
The new season is upon us again. After coming back from our winter travels, bubbling with ideas and improvements to move the farm forwards, we donned our wellies to see what winter had done to the land. The farm in all respects is looking well, considering the battering it’s had in the off season. With winds of up to 80mph and incessant rain it seems that the winter storms have not let up since we left in November.
Using Additions in Homebrewing
Once you feel you have mastered All Grain brewing, using additions is a great way to advance your brew and introduce new elements and flavours. But much like ice cream it’s still essential to get your base correct before adding your rocky road or raspberry ripple. I have a couple of trusty base recipes for APA, IPA and pilsner which I use when experimenting with additions. Once I smash it, I then play around with the grain bill to tweak and perfect the recipe.
Magnum Hop: Privately Investigated
Your Prime Time Companion
I love old classic cars. I’ve even attempted to restore a couple. As a kid, I fell in love with the Ferrari 308 GTS – an iconic vehicle of its time, but what truly secured it in history was the equally iconic (you know where I’m going with this) Magnum P.I.
American IPA Recipe
All grain American IPA recipe by Home Brewtique.
Originating from Germany in the 1980’s, Magnum provides deliciously clean and crisp bitterness to any beer, but it works especially well in a Pale Ale where clean flavours are called for. Adding at First Wort has the added benefit of a smoothness that helps reduce any perceived harsh overtones, complementing the huge hop burst of an American IPA.

Time to kick the bucket?
Conical fermenters used to be a luxury only a professional brewery or dedicated homebrewer could afford. Not any more.
