Mine are in the ground and have shot up already, Thanks

Cascade & chinook for me please.

I had all these ingredients handy except the yeast. Popped out and got some today and did a mix up tonight. Not far from what I usually like to throw in. Normally I use S05 and like a bit of dark malt in as well for meatiness, otherwise this looks like the regular Friday cook up. I know I'm...

Was that burwood Kmart?

Got my root while the mrs was out of town today. Thanks

If you have a Baggie of each one still I'll take them, or whatever is still up for grabs. Let me know and I'll get you the ca$h, Cheers.

Update on the cherub, I cleared it through the week with gelatin and kegged on Friday, a little shake rattle and roll and my god, what a tasty treat on tap. I'll definitely reproduce this one again. Very proud of this being my first beer. The only problem I have had is not kicking off another...

Got the cherub in the fridge now to drop the yeast. The fruitiness had come back a bit, 3 days it has read 1010 so I'm going in. Very fkn excited about kegging this, next is a pure blonde kit for swmbo who lacks the taste for good beer, the brigalow batch tripped and fell down the sink. Oops. I...

I did the dry hopping last night. Goddamn it smells good today. I can't imagine this being no good. I need another keg or two. I'll build a keezer next free weekend, the ol 2 keg kelvinator doesn't have room for beer and cider flowing and conditioning at once. The brigalow has mellowed a little...

I got the chubby cherub bubbling away happily now in the fv. This is my first beer go and it smells bloody good, can't stop sniffing the airlock. Look forward to having this one kegged up for xmas. If it lasts that long. Hoping to leave it alone that long to age up. On the flipside, I kegged a...

Had a Barossa far apple cider on tap yesterday, Not real good. It was a bit sweet and dull. Also had a mountain goat two step cider from the bottle, much better. Medium dry and not too sweet. Reminded me a lot like dirty granny. It had a pretty high dose of carbing tho, may have added to the...

Just moved to Melbourne from Brissie for the great weather, There is a great selection of local ciders in offer here and I have been on a sampling frenzy since arriving. Outside of my own kegs two that have stood out for me are the Two brothers brewery Gypsy Pear cider. I'm not usually a pear...

Just moved from Brissie to melbourne this week and priority one, After unpacking the winter clothes, was carbing the keg and getting another batch on the bubble. Off I went to a nearby aldi, and shit me! They do it all for you here! Feented, back sweetened, carbed and bottled. Aldi cider means a...

Looks like its coming to melbourne. I guess I can still fill it and leave it outside to stay cold.
