My oldest boy is Hunter so I called mine Hunter's Call

Cheers for the recipe. If I don't have a pot can I just dry hop for the same effect? Or will it not be the same?

Thanks Citizen. Is there much to wiring them up? or am I better off shelling out an extra 20 bucks for one i can plug into? Dont feel like booting myself with mains power hahah

Hey guys CK here. I happened to pick up a fridge for a dozen stubbies for the shed but its a 3/4 and the 1/4 freezer doesnt work. I figured i would use it to temp control the fermenting conditioning of my beers. A bloke i was talking to the other day said to get a temp control box and a heat...

Hey Nibbo, Lived in Colac for about 2 years, Have you only just opened the place up? If so whereabouts? Ill definately call in next time im down that way, still go down from time to time. CK

That sound yummy!c :kooi: Figured i'd just try to make what im really enjoying at the moment :P

I'm about 30 k's west of geelong. That would be best. I have friends and family in Ballarat may be possible. Melbourne is a bit of a stretch. I have a brew centre in Geelong im not sure what he carries maybe some pellets, I heard one of the brewers at work say that there is a supply place out at...

Hey guys and gals, CK here. Got a coopers brew kit for christmas and am ready to bottle the lager that came with it. Excited for a first tasting regardless if its horse piss or not. Thinking about my second go already, want to keep it pretty simple for a while yet but at the moment i am...
