Sounds like a plan ... see you next Wednesday night after a hard day at the conference ... and it's only a short walk back to my digs on North Terrace! ghhb

I'm in Adelaide for a conference next week, Monday to Saturday and as I'll be on my own I'm looking for good places to drink good beer. Any suggestions? ghhb

I also have a mate with insulin dependent diabetes (type 2) who used to come over on a Friday night. However his blood sugar readings were always up on Saturday morning so he's had to stop coming (cos' he can't resist drinking if he did come). So I'd like to hear from anyone who's successfully...

Still thinking about these Full Wort Kits! What about entering one in a comp? Is that cheating? ghhb

Couldn't agree more ... but when my 'work' consumes so much of my time that I also have run low on stock and had to buy a couple of 6 packs of craft beer from First Choice for the same money as it takes to make a keg, it seems I've completely missed full wort kits as an alternative. But there's...

I had Paul, a fellow brewer visit over Easter from Brisbane and he brought with him a keg of beer made from a BrewCraft 15l Full Work Kit. No disrespect to my mate who is a kit brewer but when he said he was bringing it I was not expecting much. We'll ... to my surprise ... it was really good...
