    What's On The Table

    The recipe is from Ruhlman and Polcyn's book, called Saucisson Sec, but made with wild pork. Garlic , pepper and a bit of chilli is pretty much all the spices.

    Decent Beer In Brisbane City Centre

    Thanks for the kind offer, Nick. Sounds like a day I could adapt to :icon_drunk: Global miners are not very flexible when it comes to these things, so its those dates or wait till September to fill my boots in the big smoke. With the info already posted, I'm sure I can find a bolthole that...

    Decent Beer In Brisbane City Centre

    I'm being sent south to be educated by my employer, and will be in the city centre around Albert St from the 12-15th March and will be looking for decent watering hole. Being from the deep north and not familiar with the ways of a city drinker, :unsure: has anyone got any suggestions that are...

    Turning Stuff Ups Into Great Beer

    Stones fixes many things, Kaiser, many things indeed. My early efforts ( read 18 yo) were revolting, but as apprentice wages didn't allow much room to manouver, any batch that was rough out of the fermenter got the 1.5L of Stones treatment. I wish we could have bought the shit by the gallon...

    Brewing In The Far North Qld Heat

    Whats nighttime temps at your place bud? Its been fairly constant 24 arround here. I reckon it will drive you mad trying to keep the temp even halfway constant. You don't need much of a fridge, as long as it goes. Should be able to pick up a roughie for next to f all, and a controller won't set...

    Thanks for the reply gents. I've used 1084 before with success, but due to our location, buying liquid yeasts is a risky proposition , at best. I have a 50/50 strike rate so far of the ice brick pack arriving late via express post, (= hot), thus complely rooting the contents. Since my OP, a...
