A.B, i might be able to help with transport as I'm working out of Hume for the about another 5 weeks. Been there since Feb but its winding up soon so if all is well and the delivery comes before i finish up i will be happy to bring your order down for you. Also staying at Narrabundah during the...

Went to the new Rocks Brewing Co brewery in Sydney yesterday and had an amazing coffee beer. It wasn't just subtle hints of coffee like normal beers with coffee flavour but it was like more coffee than beer! It had a brilliant creamy head that went perfectly with it. You couldn't drink much of...

I agree Josh, I am a member and save big bucks throughout the year on their drinks. Maybe i stated it wrong and just wrote dribble but i was trying to say that blokes like you and I are willing to pay the money, but to the average guy out here drinking Tooheys or VB, do you think they will be...

Yep, thats what i thought.

Care to clarify?

Problem Bum? And Tiprya, at least you can get decent beer nearly anywhere in the city, as i said, I would pay it, but it aint gonna work out here charging that much, so things will never change.

But say you weren't a member, and you had to pay the $8.00 in Penrith but can pay $6 for one in the city? Why the big difference and as i said, thats not enticing the common beer drinker to have something new, wich is more the point i was getting at. Hey, i was paying $10 for a bottle of Corona...

Neither mate, it was a schooner, i think 420ml? If it was a pint, that would be closer to the mark. And Liam, $2.00 is too much for XXXX Gold!!

Hey all, just wanted to let you know of my experience with the new Hop Thief. One of my locals is Panthers club at Penrith and out the front have their own bar named the Squires bar, with about four or five of their beers on tap, which in Penrith is a treat and as close to boutique as you can...

Im the same way Surly, I've done countless BIAB brews over the years but never really used different base malts until now. Thought id give a smash a go for a few beers, next one i will do is a Vienna, just to get the taste of a different malt, not mixing it and seeing what it can do on its own...

Thanks Syl, sounds good to me. D80, cheers as i was going to use that for my next brew. Maris Otter is already cracked for todays brew, with some Galaxy and liquid 1056. Most SMASH recipes are either Maris Otter or some other base malt, can't recall ever reading a Golden Promise smash so there...

Great timing, just jumped on here for some ideas for pretty much the same thing. I have some Golden Promise and Marris Otter that i want to pretty much do a SMASH with so i can get the taste of them and make a pretty easy beer to drink for the visitors in the meantime. When you say go to about...

Yeah mate, thats my plan now. Thanks.

No Rowy, only about 1000kms away in western Sydney. Will have to fix my status up, been on here a while but had to change my name and details a long while back for some reason i can't remember. Florian, thanks anyway but i made up my mind to wait till the morning, so i just finished putting my...

Never tried the bry97, will look it up, cheers. And Kev, i am tempted to give it a go to see how it pans out but after a long brew day i don't want to just chance it, as its not too far to go to the local brewshop. And i now remember that i used my last safale in my last brew, it was a black...
