Butane, octane, Ethanol, LPG, chains, dicks, tits, ass, girls, school and even OH&S! I just want to keep my beer cold.....but cheers for the ideas and entertainment.

Cheers Jake the tub of cold water sounds good...next time! and Hendo i could of bought a NEW fridge with the money i spent running the A/C unsuccessfully trying to cool my beer. Only prob. is no space for a second fridge. I could always just look at the forecast and avoid the adelaide heat wave...

the best beer ive made so far was bottled after 41 days. It took a while to brew but i was also busy for a week or 2.

Air temp. was 20 by night 35˚c + by day and the brew temp. 25-26 for 5 days. So not looking to hopeful but might bottle it, can always give it away!

Ive got a fat yak style ale kit on the brew. I used the yeast with it (us05). due to the HOT weather my brews been around 25-26˚c for 5 days. Is it possible its going to be any good? and what can go wrong with high temp? sg started at 1046 has stoped at sg1014. for a few days.

Cheers guys, dont think i drink it, at least not till the beer runs out. might just dust it down and keep the labels looking nice for a few more years. maybe a 50 yr. anniversary sale?!

Sorry not a beer topic but still alcohol related. Ive got 2 bottles of 1972 Wynns Romalo vintage champagne (got it from an old uncles cellar about 15 yrs ago) and dont know much about it. Is it any good? shound i drink it? keep it? mix it a brew??!! even sell it on ebay?

Im drinking a Cascade mahogany chocolate porter as i type, one of my first brews. 9 weeks in the bottle and getting better. It was brewed with 500g coopers enhancer #1 and the kit yeast at about 18˚c. i bottled it at FG.1018 after 26 days (very slow brew) .Defiantly no sour taste, but not as...

Big Nath Cheers some much needed advice. I know NO bubbles in the airlock can be miss leading but i always figured bubbles were a sure sign of action and only test SG regularly for 3 days after the bubbles stop. Brew was Cascade pale 1.7kg, coopers #2 enhancer 1kg, hops tea bag 12g??, SG has...

Grumpys? great beer an pizza on a sunny sunday but no home brew kits or ideas SORRY.

All i need is the alcohol content of a bottle of red, the warmth of a bottle of port and the taste of beer in a home brew. Is that to much to ask?

Cheers guys for all the ideas. Cant wait to drink a few. Just hope i can brew them up as easy as it sounds. If my cascase pale is anything to go by ill be waiting a while. its at 1012, constant 18-19˚c and bubbling nicely. ITS BEEN 28 DAYS! last brew was bottled after 27 days.

I love drinking guinness, coopers vintage or extra stout and as of today some dark German beer i cant rember the name of (it came in 1lt steins at 7.2%) :drinks: . But all these beers cost way to much to drink when i have to buy my own! What i want to know is how can i make beer like this with...

My other brews start bubbling through the airlock and smell like beer within a day the cascade porter didnt. 4 weeks (27 days to be exact) did seem like a long time. My cascade pale brewing at the moment around 18˚C is at 17 days and counting s.g. is at 1022 so has a while to go. I dont know is...

Brewed a Cascades Chocolate Mahogany Porter about 8 weeks ago (first brew in a long time). Added 500g coopers enhancer #1 and 12g finishing hops. The kit yeast didnt take so added a larger Yeast a few days later. Took 48hrs to get going Brewed around 18-20˚c S.G started at 1046 and bottled it...
