    'Beer Machine'?

    Yeah beer god, just doesn't seem right. Does it turn out ok? Well I've been sampling the brew every day for about 3 days, and honestly it isn't bad. In fact, I like the beer machine. In saying that though, by no stretch of the imagination Is it worth $100+. It definitely won't replace my AG...

    'Beer Machine'?

    Fresh Hops- Hobart Region?

    Hi everyone, first off let me say i love the site. ive always been curious about fresh (or dried??) hops in brewing (as opposed to pellets), and have enjoyed the few beers i have sampled that use them. im from NQ, but this time of year i normally find myself in Hobart to spend christmas with...
