    Intertap G1 v G2

    Can anyone tell me how long the Intertaps Generation 2 have been out? I have just purchased 4 intertaps a month ago and just found out I have been supplied the old model. Not happy. Only found out as I have bought the accessory connectors which dont fit the old taps.

    Coopers new malting,

    I was basing my comment about diastatic power on this quote from the Coopers Malting Manager..."“Schooner was superseded because the export markets required high levels of enzymes and Schooner had low levels so it wasn’t meeting the requirements but now the craft industry has grown they are...

    Coopers new malting,

    Does anyone have any info on how these malts go? I am interested in the schooner malt as it says it has a lower attenuation, which I'm assuming is due to lower diastatic power. Would like to know what the general consensus is out there?

    Australian Amateur Brewing Championship

    Just wondering if anyone had received their medals for placing in the AABC Comp? I got an email that said they would be posted out late Jan, but as yet, I have not received anything. Just wondering if everyone else is in the same boat or mine may have been lost in the post?

    A massive thanks to Stu, Judges, Stewards and others from Castle Hill Comp for running things so smoothly. Very quick posting of results as well, thanks heaps. Entered 6 beers and the three I was less hopeful about ended up placing when the others did not, go figure. That Broken Hill water might...

    First go at using hops how much do i use?

    Yeah I use Chux wipes that my wife sewed into a bag with some draw cord through it. I get a few uses out of them before I check them out. Amarillo is akin to stone fruit and is the hops used in Golden Ale, thats why I asked the question. Quite a few brewers (myself included) started off in home...

    First go at using hops how much do i use?

    What do you want from the hops? If you want that fresh hops smell, that you get when you open the bag of hops, in your beer, then dry hopping is the way to go. Having not brewed extract for a few years now, it seems like the ingredients you listed will make an ale that is already bitter enough...

    Stainless steel pots

    My 100L just arrived on Monday (12th), ordered it on 6th, not bad. Bottom and sides relatively thin (think the whole parcel weight was about 6kg) but for my required use (HLT) it will be great. Good to replace the first Ally pot I purchased from craftbrewer back in about 2007. Cheers
