Hi All, just saw this on Grays - http://www.graysonline.com/lot/0007-180276...-and-keg-fridge

If you're going to patent it yourself and make it, don't submit it. There are plenty of people who have ideas, but not the resources to make them (but would still be happy to see them made). Awesome paint skills :) The prizes are: - Weekly prize of $500 cash - the best idea of the week as...

Hi Guys, (shameless plug) Make it so beer is always cold without the aid of a refrigerator or ice. - http://bit.ly/a0kAFq I worked on this competition, thought you might want to have a look/play. There are not enough beer-related ideas on there yet :) www.makeitso.org.au

Where is everyone? I'm in for Sydney..

Hey all, the paypal link is up for Darlo on the 9th of February. I didn't hear about it anywhere else, just checked today. Don't want any AHBers missing out :) Paypal link is in the sidebar - http://thelocaltaphouse.blogspot.com/

Filled in the form last night, bringing along an IPA :) Would be good to bring more that 1, but 'tasting' 25 different brews (assuming everyone brings something) will likely be enough of a challenge :)

I bought two four packs of the new Mad Abbot beers - one of the dubbel, one of the tripel - at Bitter and Twisted. It cost me $50 for 8 beers. $6.25 per 330ml bottle. I'm happy to pay up for quality, and I love the beers from the Little Brewing Co. You won't see me lining up for a case (of the...

Haven't decided on how to get it in yet, probably get the block and tackle out :) Kegerator is an awesome idea. Then I can re purpose it as well when I'm not fermenting. Thanks for the tip - was it one of these ones? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Kegerator-Beer-Keg-...=item3a54ad1224

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a chest freezer. I'm in Sydney. Space beside the compressor hump must be at least 420mm*420mm*650 - to fit one of these in it - http://www.mooreequipment.com.au/products_...FTOKEN=39000187 Happy to pay what it is worth :)

Haha is it a joke? Good find :)

Glad there was such a good response - Dad and I are booked in for Darlo as well. Looking forward to it. I'm planning to bring 2 longnecks of IPA, 2 of ESB, and 2 of a young APA if it is ready.

Thanks for all the tips guys, can't wait :) And I realise how lucky I am. Even got the three months off work :D

Wow, thanks for all the quick responses - lots of good tips here. :beer: I will go to a few of the touristy places, but I'd prefer to find places that are off the beaten track. An exception to this is Oktoberfest, which I will be in Munich for :chug: Cities I'm staying in: London Dublin...

On Sunday, I'm flying to Europe for a few months of traveling. I'm looking for recommendations on the best beer stuff to see/do. Any favourite pubs/breweries? I have a few things lined up already, I'll keep them to myself until I hear everyone's recommendations though :)

Yeah it's still pretty young, so hopefully that's it. I think for the batch that is fermenting now we'll give bulk priming a go as well, it is a bit of a pain doing it for each bottle. Butters, that is so weird that regular sugar weighs more. I would have thought there was more air in a...
