G'day Wobbly, Better late than never in replying I guess. Screwtop was right I was last seen near Ningaloo WA, trying to get a brew down but have been off air since. I found brewing in 38 degree heat (in Karratha) with my cool box running at 30 produced a drinkable beer but not for everyday...

HI Guys, Well let this be a lesson to ya, after sampling Batz's brews and camping next to Ross' bar for two months any brew is going to taste ordinary at best!! So why am I caning myself for the last four brews done on the road???? Well the first 2 were Ross' hot wort kits one of which decided...

Hi Guys sorry I haven't been on air but the internet was a bit hard to acquire from the beach at Ningaloo. Now in Karratha for a couple of months to fill up the tanks (fuel and money). Where are you when I need you Batz?? Any contacts for a good job and hb supplies here in town? Will post a...

And we have a flying boat. Behind schedule again but now we're off. Screwtop and Tidalpete were in awe when they saw it and the bus.

The task at hand :unsure:

Certainly did have one for you with Ross last night HK - one too many by all accounts. Have a good time on your travels mate. cheers nm :beer:

Batz this may be the last time we are able to camp by the waters edge for $15/week and if you have been to the reef you would know how brilliant that is. The WA planning minister wants to resume the coast all along the reef and let the corporates put in accomodation complexes all along and...

Cheers Sloth, It will be hard tearing myself away from Ross's Bar but the beach and boating have a slightly stronger pull. Ross had to struggle along without my help with the brewing this morning as the boat still wasn't ready when we got there for it. He was sparging the second one when I got...

A looonnngg way to go but I can get my hands on a couple of hundred tonnes of wheat and barley now if the daughter marries a maltster ------

Recently 720 Breakfast presenter, Eoin Cameron, read out a story that Frank from Viveash had sent to him. We had many listeners wanting to hear it again! So here goes. Calling in Sick We've all had trouble with our animals, but I don't think anyone can top this one. Calling in sick to...

Well we are still here in Brissy's miserable wet weather, there are doubts arrising we will be able to leave when ready due to soggy ground, Just as well Ross's bar is close. Still waiting on the boat to be ready - Friday they said but I'm not holding my breath with so many delays so far...

Good on you Batz!! I need a holiday - the brain is going to mush - need to get outside the box more. not exactly what I was after but a bloody good alternative. I was thinking wine cask bladder type but you may have saved me a lot of anxt. cheers

Has anyone come accross or know where to get a reuseable bladder say 20-30 liter that could be used as a cube. I believe bulk wine comes in 20 liter bladders some restaurants use but haven't been able to source any. It needs to have a screw on lid and a dispensing tap (tap optional). As I'm in...

Will post pics of the trailer and boat when I get it here and build the boat ramp on the trailer.

Sorry for the delay guys, I couldn't convince Ross to post the pics so have made myself an album in the gallery. The first photo is of 2 of the 4 house batteries and the switchboard - 12, 24 and 240 volts available, next 3 are the mobile temp controlled brew box, then the BBQ and beer fridge...
