Thanks, Packed and entry done. Now to find something else to drink .

I've only just got to this today. And for the first time in a long time I have something worth entering. Rather annoyed with myself. I'm hopping that I can drop off at Dave's on Tuesday Morning , as he is closed tomorrow and Monday. Is this still possible ? The alternative is I'll drink my...

Been thinking about doing this for some time, but making it permanent. It's beautiful work .. How stable is the temp ? Did you shave the inside edge of the slats so they didn't have a gap when placed on a curve ?

That's like what, $100 worth of hops into one beer. Better be a seriously nice beer!

thanks everyone. Was thinking a APA or a bright ale, light and social. I have the yeast WL002. So that that bit's done. Sound like for the response it's all possible. I would have liked to have served an english Ale, a Best Bitter, but to be honest the fresh wort kit's are not so great on that...

(The countdown clock is 9 days.) I have a major milestone birthday on the weekend after next and have nothing in bottle or keg to serve anyone. As an avid home brewer, and all my friends know I am , I feel I have let them down. It's just been too busy this year to think about brewing. So I...

oh the young ones. That is how coke was sold in the 80's They where called Crowd Pleaser Bottles.

I made mine from a kitchen company (Wholesale Kitchens) so the bench height is 850mm from memory. I've been able to find a Williams commercial fridge (free) all stainless that fits the hole but not the kegs. http://www.williamsref.com.au/Products.asp?SectionId=24956 It blew up just before...

I've brewed the same reciepe (ESB) for about 5 years. A few batches each year. I've yet to get it the same each time. The focus is on fine tuning the process. I find the process variation has the greatest impact on flavour. after all this time I've yet to nail it. But i'm getting closer!

2 caps of unsented (sensitive) Napisan in the fermenter fill to overflowing and leave it for a week or 2. Rinse well and sterilise with a no rinse and your ready to go.

Very nice, can i assume the space is for a key fridge. I had all sorts of problems finding a keg fridge to fit into the new kitchen. What did you end up using ? BOG

Was the judging completed today? BOG

What was the name of his stuff at Bunnings? For the price it looks fine. Could you put casters on it to move it around? BOG

Just found out the NSW comp has been brought forward a month this year. My not ready ESB may be still ok in 4weeks time. Every cloud etc etc BOG

I'm really anoyed with myself. Ive tried my ESB for the first time tonight. It could do with another week or two in the bottle. But as it stands I'm rather pleased with the result. I knew I wouldn't make it but it was so close. I got a HC (40 points) at last years comp for the ESB. This years...
