We have the 'white label' or 'Australia Lager' in a few of our local venues and I quite like it. Don't knock it 'til you have tried it. Nice to be able to go out and have a decent choice other than the standard mega swill.

Notting Hill Hotel, corner Ferntree Gully Rd and Forster Rd, Notting Hill (Mount Waverley/Clayton area). Good pub.

There is a newish microbrewery in Chaweng, Koh Samui. Keen to check it out when I'm there in June. It's located near Bar Ice.

Exactly how I do it, works a treat every time

Awesome place, awesome food and awesome beers of course. Can't recommend highly enough.

I've got a cheeky peak ishana IPA in the fermenter now. Can't wait to try this one at 7%.

Picked mine up at local BWS today. We printed the box packaging at my work about a month ago so have been keeping my eye out for them. Thought these glasses were the bees knees of drinking vessels, feel a bit lightweight to me. Can't see it lasting long before it's broken. At least the IPA is...

Why would you need a second source of co2? Just split the line or use a dual outlet regulator.

Nah not me, I chuck out anything not of use or importance. Can't stand junk lying around, I'm a bit OCD on this one.

Heating works pretty good even in a Vic winter, although not used much coz the potbelly gets a fair workout. Cooling struggles a bit on +35c days due to lack of insulation (still on the 'to do' list). That said, even on a scorcher with a/c on and doors shut it's reasonably comfortable - plus...

Tilt, what you can't quite see in the pics is a corner of the shed has been built in as a separate room to house tools, lawn mower, brewing gear, etc all nicely hidden out of view. Now as for the Fosters sign jaypes, it's a corflute chalkboard (yes eBay) used to mark off how many beers I've...

Love my frosted Peroni glass for style (but not capacity), and love my Little Creatures pint glass for capacity. Cheers!

Unassuming 8m x 7m colourbond shed up in backyard, but inside is my mancave. Couple of couches, potbelly heater, reverse cycle a/c, 46in LCD + 5.1 surround, additional 22in LCD on swivel mount for outdoor viewing, beer fridge and Liebherr kegerator (modded with twin font, perlick taps and font...
