Moving interstate and need to sell more of my bottles. Looking for just $10/dozen. Located in the western suburbs of Brisbane.

Sounds good to me. How many would you be interested in. I have these posted a few places, so would want to keep however many aside for you if you want.

I am in Bellbowrie. Not sure when we are moving just yet, but probably before Xmas some time, just starting to clear out hte house now.

Sorry, I've added it to the post, but cannot figure out to amend the title of the post. I am located in Brisbane - Western Suburbs. Cheers.

I have about 240 bottles and 20 wire cages that hold a dozen each. I am asking for $15 per dozen with the wire cage. All in good condition. Only selling as we are moving to interstate and not worth moving them. Located in Western Suburbs of Brisbane. Cheers!

Sounds good. As far as bulk ageing goes, do you think that if I leave it go for awhile, it will still have enough yeast activity to carb up for the sparkling stuff?

I've made a couple of meads in the past but they take so damn long that I still consider myself a bit of a newb, so I want to make sure this all sounds good. Plus, I'm going to have a crack a carbonating half of it to make a sparkling mead, which I've never done before. 1.5 kg honey water to...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll work on bottle scrubbing and refrigerate the beers for awhile before and see if that makes a difference. I try to do a real thorough cleaning of my bottles every couple of batches, but I might incorporate a napisan soak and see if any of this makes a...

I've had it happen with beers made with Ringwood and S-04. Bottles are generally cooled in the fridge so I assume about 4-6 degress, though I'm sure i've had some in the 10-12 degree range as well. I carbonate by bulk priming and bottle conditioning. Dextrose amount for priming is from...

I've had a common problem lately with a number of my batches of beer. Before I open the bottle (750 ml glass), everything looks good and the beer is nice and clear. I'll pour a glass and everything is good. However, in the remaining beer in the bottle, all the yeast comes up off the bottom...

If you're near the western suburbs at all, I'm 99% sure I've seen it at Coles in Bellbowrie.

No worries, Rde. I always like to see where topics end up. I bottled today and had a taste and it is slightly watery, but I think it will turn out nice in the end. I'll be ordering up the ingredients for another go. dr K: Can you suggest something that Ringwood might be a bit more...

I brewed up a 13 litre BIAB batch of Dr. Smurto's Landlord using Wyeast 1187 - Ringwood and I there are a couple of fine points I'm not sure about: 1. Diacetyl rest - I read somewhere that someone couldn't get their hands on any Ringwood so someone suggested using S-04 and a couple of...

Is a higher pressure than standard reg necessary for something like that?

Here's a video of a guy's experiment with dry yeast rehydration and oxygenation: It's a nice little experiment, note however that the music used in the clip is awful. TL;DR version: rehydrating slightly decreased lag time, oxygen injection slightly increased it, but no real difference was...
