Sounds more like haematomacrosis to me I'd get a medico check it out.

Hi All, It seems that some of our commercial breweries are really as silly as we thought: http://www.shootersandfishers.org.au/blog/...r-beer-now.aspx

Somethings to keep in mind when using oxygen and "an oxy gauge lying about". I do a bit of gas blending here and there and it scares me some of the gear that I have seen people use for O2. Oxygen is refered to as the "princess of gases" as if you treat it right it can do wonderful things for...

Flaming typical. Over the past couple of weeks I have had a Celtic Red Ale in the pot, using Safale S-04. Being winter, it struggled along at 16deg C and finally finished. So I proceeded to put a Double Choc Stout (with extra Choc grain) and as the previous brew struggled to get over 16deg I...

Hi All Due to one thing and another I have a brew which is finished and still in the fermenter (or is that fermentor?). I don't have access to CO2 until Wednesday or Thursday (it is now Sunday). I know what I am going to do BUT here is the question which sprung to mind. Which is Better and...

Spidey, Although Dave's is a great shop, Mark at Asquith Homebrew (Pacific Hwy Asquith) also stocks a heap of Brewers Selection. Might save an hour or so (to and from Newie) as you would probably drive straight past Asquith! Rabz

Just don't do what I did with the 5 Malt Amber.... I stuck the wort in the fermenter, topped it up with some water, checked the OG and Temp then pitched the yeast. All sounds good, except being the dill I am I topped it to 23 litres, not ~18. At least I now have a reasonable light beer on...
