The Captain!! Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 As another series of MasterChef adorns our TV I was thinking to myself. Geez it’d be good to watch a Master homebrewer challenge type thing.... it would be a long filming show ha ha but I reckon cool as. With challengers like, Native Aussie fruit beer week. Contestants come up with stuff like Finger Lime Saison or a Native plum stout, quandong sparkling ale. Or Beer with an OG of 1.090 from a BIAB set up. What would your favourite challenges be?

Beerlust Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I would be interested in a brewing show where brewers simply brewed modern individualistic expressions of each of the currently accepted style groups. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yeah that’d be good. Challenging the accepted style groups by pushing the boundaries of that style. Hopped out Pilsner any body?? Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbrew Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 That is an awesome concept Kirk. I would totally watch that. Sour Stout anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Nice one Rowbrew, Sour stout sounds amazing. Hmm Barrel aged blending challenge. The contestants get that sour stout and will have to brew a beer to blend with that sour stout. Good thing it’ll only take 12-18 months for the barrel aging process to take place, if it takes place at all. Ha ha loving the replies fellas.

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'd watch it too, it's a shame the networks are so obsessed with amateur cooking shows hosted by idiots like Paleo Pete. I hardly watch TV anymore because if it's not that rubbish it's home renovation competitions - which I might actually watch if the designs were any good and the people on them weren't a bunch of drama queens bitching at or about each other the whole time. One thing I can't stand is modern architecture/interior design, especially when they try to tack it onto an old building. Anyway, I reckon a good challenge would be brewing a megaswill clone. I know they're essentially carbonated water these days, but actually brewing them isn't as easy as it sounds. How many guys get into home brewing to try to emulate their swill of choice and then it ends up turning out nothing like it? Cheers Kelsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Yeah, I must say I don’t watch too much tv these days either because of the same reason. The drama is unnecessary. That is actually a good challenge, especially brew after brew keeping the same consistency. I think the only megaswill I’d like to clone would be Coopers pale TBH. Not that I really consider coopers megaswill, but they do make a hell of a lot of beer. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boot Straps Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 There used to be an Aussie web based show (you tube or something like that) on wine. A couple of guys trying out different wines from around the place. It was a pretty light hearted take on wine tasting, something along those lines looking at micro/craft brewries from around Australia would be pretty cool as well. Swill TV??

The Captain!! Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Think I’ve heard of that somewhere. Think this might be another google sponsored moment. Think the cats over in NZ aligned with grainfather are doing something similar. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 New direction for fast homebrew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermoor Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I remember from a while ago there was a beer show on SBS I think. A brewer would go around a visit home brewers, there would be a competition between two and the winner of that would have that beer brewed in her brewery. I remember one where a bloke got his yeast from a piece of wood he found in the park. He only used wild yeasts to ferment his beer. He didn't win.

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not surprised. I did a two stubbie batch of Sierra Nevada pale ale clone with wild yeast I caught in my laundry once. There's a reason it was once The wort was leftover from the batch, the main portion was fermented with US-05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yeast from the laundry probably came from your undies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I only decided to try it once I saw a sample of wort start fermenting by itself and a small white layer on the bottom of the container. Wasn't really deliberate catching the yeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wood dude was pretty funny. I think unfortunately in the end it was only a commercial factor that got that Mexican beer to win due to the Latino population in that state sales in that community would sky rocket. Not surprising though. I actually enjoyed that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I’m pretty sure he referred to this log as his magic park log. And that some of his beers are good, others could be better but they taste unique ha ha ha ha That Cat made me giggle. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristinaS1 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I'd like to see them try to recreate historical brews, like Egyptian beer, Viking beer, or English beer before they used hops, or making brown malt from scratch, the way it used to be made, or some of the old Shut up about Barclay Perkins recipes, or an original IPA recipe. I am sure modern brews taste much better, but it is interesting to see where we came from. Cheers, Christina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
