Veloria is the same as the buloke, but roasted a few EBC darker. Both are ale malts, the Veloria is just a fraction darker and maltier I currently have the buloke in stock, and am using it in my brewery, as the Veloria is not available at the moment

I have a mill mate, and it's a free service

For any canberra brewers chasing a bag of Voyager Veloria or Buloke pale, I have 5 bags of Buloke, and 2 of Veloria in stock Cheers Steve

ah fair enough i figured id do a search first, before starting a new thread in leiu of another thread, has anyone had a go at malting?

Has anyone used this stuff for yeast starters? its cheap as chips at big w at the moment, cause they are going out of HB stuff. i usually use LDME, but its bloody expensive, and the LHBS near me is always out of it, and the other LHBS in canberra is way down south

I have a large old tooths keg thats been sitting down the side of the shed for ages, and i was wondering if i could use it for a kettle. its about 70 or 80 litres in size, but i wasnt sure of what it was made of, ie. stainless, aluminium or galvanised. it already has a tap in it, (albeit, a...
