Another question I have is what type of beers are you guys brewing? Do the "knock off" ones like the VB clone kits work? 

@monsoons101 , if you like the VB or pub style beers then check out my recipe on this thread here.  A very good mate of mine would not drink anything else but VB out of a glass bottle (he would give away, or toss away any cans of VB he was given, never drank them) but he did like this brew I did for him.

I can post up the all grain version for you if you are interested.  Give it a go and share with your mates to see what they think.  Temperature control and a weeks cold crash is the way to go with this beer.  Suggest Diamond Lager yeast first up and second to that W-34/70.  Pitch it low and ferment slow in the yeasts range and learn to do a D-Rest.  All this does wonders for beer brweing of lagers.

Cheers - AL

Hey @monsoons101  if you like a VB then give Boozers recipe above a go. It’s a great beer. Pride of Ringwood hops is the signature hop for most Aussie lagers like vb. 
I’m not sure what level you’re at with your brewing but I would encourage you to give it a go and shoot through any questions you have on to this forum. The good people here will look after you if you need help.

I've been planning (for way too long - it's hard to dedicate the FV to it  ) a brew that hopefully will appeal to guys who like whitefish beers, just to see if I can.

Can I suggest half a can of Mexican Cerveza, can yeast and no additions. 

Name it " North Queensland Sex on the Beach" (f..king near water).

Should go down a treat.
