Just dry hopped our initial batch of Topaz Single Hop IPA today - had a look at AHB tonight and felt compelled to reply. It was bittered with 2010 pellets, and dry hopped with 2011 flowers. Hops came out of the Rostrevor garden on Wednesday, apparently Topaz is one of the last varieties to...

We are currently looking for front of house staff for our bar/cellar door/restaurant in Yarra Glen. Experience in a professional, fast paced setting essential, with the opportunity for a full time role for the right person. Please PM me, and I'll get back to you quickly...

Well spotted! Our current ESB is pure Galaxy, but we do tweak quite a bit - Citra, NS and other things.
We are about 2-3 weeks away from releasing ESB in a bottle. The first bottled batch will also be all galaxy.
Just a question JBowers, when do you plan to add the hops? I think that all...
I still proudly wear a dry hopped nappy, and sadly no longer refer to myself as a young brewer. And I know that Kai is up to his ears in nappies - Kai, give me a call and drop past for a beer when time allows.
Dean, hope you're well. How's Canadia?

Interestingly, I bought one last week to bottle a couple of hundred champagne bottles of our Abbey Dubbel. The John Guest fitting idea looks to be a winner - so easy to sanitise. If done properly, there shouldn't be significant pressure loss during filling as long as the vessel that you are...
