mate that is epic. super jealous!!! Thanks for the reply but we've got some commercial sized (not commercial brewed) kegs coming and have already hired a "bar". Truly wicked set up though. thanks again. Ces

Hey guys, So I have a quick search on here and a fairly good google but i cant find anyone who hires jockey boxes in the capacity that i need. I need it for Saturday the 5th of September and would prefer one with 3 taps. I have found a company on the central coast that carries these but so far...

Hey guys, I've got two 23L batches that i'm blending before kegging and wondered if it was ok to use a non-food safe plastic container for the blending vessel? As its only going to be in there for a few minutes i thought it would be ok but would like some advice from the experts first...

Hey guys, Going to put down my first cider from whole apples tonight and i get home with all my apples and realise I dont have any yeast nutrient left. Also, have only one packet of yeast for fermenting the cider out. I do have the yeast slurry from a ginger beer that I produced and wondered...

Thanks for the advice guys. I was hoping to serve it from a keg on boxing day but I'll find something else. I'll just leave it for now and see what happens. cheers, Ces.

Hey guys, So I'm looking for some more focused advice now... 4 days since pitching and fermentation seems to have stalled. Started off well but the airlock bubbling slowed right down and now appears to have stopped. Took a gravity reading this arvo and has only come down 3 points to 1052...

Hey guys, So I put down my first ginger beer yesterday and have a few questions about the fermentation rate. Before I ask, let me state, I know... dont worry, it'll be fine. I'm not too worried about what will come out, it will alcoholic ginger something. Which I will probably drink. I'm just...

Sorry for any confusion guys... This thread has never been an official Australian Hotel Beerfest (there you go, NealK) homebrew comp thread. I did make mention of this in the opening post but perhaps should've been clearer. I started the thread as I knew it was something that some AHB members...

Much more than I or anyone should...

Thanks mate. Currently doing my best to pull it apart. Would've ordered the non-return valve straight up but followed heaps of yank videos that didn't mention it once. Then when I saw it on the craftbrewer site when looking for other stuff I thought I would wait a few weeks while I enjoyed my...

Hey guys, So... not stoked with myself. I'm very new to kegging. Two kegs carbed up at this point and my inexperience was obvious in what I just did. Thought I had read a lot about setting up a kegging system but didn't come across the idea of a non-return valve until ater I had all the other...

Judging and winners announcement tomorrow. Good luck to those who entered. The guys were very happy with the response they received this and will be looking to expand the competition next year. Bonus for me... while I wont be judging, I will have the opportunity to taste the beers that were...

If you would like me to be specific.... if i can help it, not a drop of Tooheys New will ever pass my lips again. I concede that most would agree that there isn't much difference between most of the Aussie megaswill lagers (e.g. Tooheys New and VB), its just that for some reason I dont like Lion...

Well I'll throw my opinion in... though I'm well aware they are like arseholes Whilst living in NYC for a few years I would have a couple of magic hat #9 pints a week during the warm seasons and enjoyed them very much. Also, my missus loves Yum Cha (which I'm a bit so so about) but when we go...

G'day mate, welcome to the forum. Great resource and good chat. If you get the bug bad (like most of us), you'll find you're going to end up ordering a lot of stuff online. I live in Sydney and find it very difficult to find everything i need for almost anything brew related at any LHBS. Get...
