    keg meter

    Keep an eye out for the Aldi Luggage scales on special. Best $10.00 empty keg early warning system. Good for 40kg in 10 gram increments from memory. Keg check takes 10 seconds. With lots (and lots) of practice; you'll get really good at feeling for that last perfect pint. Harry.

    In support of homeopathy

    Placebo/nocebo all the way. My wife used to make tinctures many years ago and based on her beliefs at the time; my kids all displayed marvellous recoveries when 'too sick to whatever' with 2 drops of Bach flower remedy applied under the tongue (except that one time compound fracture thingy)...

    Castle Hill and NSW State Homebrewing Competition 2014

    Looks like the new drop off point for Newcastle (as an alternative to MHB) is the Country Brewer, East Maitland Store. http://countrybrewer.com.au Steve (Digga) the Manager has agreed to step up to the plate. Nice bit of social engineering Les.

    Marks Home Brew confirmed to stay open then sold

    I spent some time with Mark yesterday between truck loads and met the 'new guy'. The arrangement looks to be a winner for all concerned, Mark included. BrewBuilder front end, same killer crush from the same killer mill, locally based and Fastway freight (cheap). The new guy is a good bloke, a...

    Most useful/annoying - The brewing process

    Most Useful... $22 'Gasmate' wireless remote digital BBQ thermometer with timer and LED torch from Bunnings. No more waiting around to reach mash in/decoction/mash out/chill/pitch temps and no more boil overs while my back is turned! Priceless. Not bad for the BBQ either. That and the 30 Amp...

    ANHC Breaks Its Chains in 2014...

    Better get some more Rennies for Les then.

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    All Good Les. Happy to help. Your dedication is to be admired. What Rennies can't fix is probably going to be a cardiac arrest anyway, right? Harry.

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Good show blokes. Thanks to all involved. Now I know what a Doctor of Divinity looks like. I'm having dreams about Wig & Pen, Centenary...Venom...Armpit. I still don't know how my beer went. All good though. I'll drink the rest of the keg while I wait. Has anyone seen Les? Harry

    Wanted: a freezer for a keezer build .... SEQ (BNE)

    I have a 165 litre (like a Tuckerbox) Westinghouse keezer build slowly taking shape atm. 60 bucks on Gumtree. With a 200mm collar the westy will fit 5 corny's comfortably; no compressor hump. I've never had 5 kegs full at the same time in my life. But it's good to know that if it ever happens...

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Hi all Is there an event schedule for the Nationals? I realise that the judging is Nov 1 & 2 at the Canberra Club and the club night is on Saturday night, or is that the event schedule? Planning to have a look around Canberra during the week around the comp. A visit to Wig and Pen looks to be...

    Plastic cubes

    Plasdene Glass-Pak are now in Rutherford. Just down the road from you. Worthwhile setting an account up if you have an ABN for wholesale rates. plasdene.com.au mmmmmm...HDPE. Harry.

    Stopping brewing and selling up

    Hey Bloke I probably drive past your house a couple of times a week on my way 'up the Valley' for work. I don't need any gear but happy to have a yarn. PM me if you're up for a social call. Harry Like you I look nothing like my avatar. Ok, a little bit.
