Aw Shucks Guys... but really yesterday was one of those days that remind you why you do what you do... We were blessed with the presence of those wonderful scallywags from Gympie including sir screwtop, who bought their good humour and sense of fun. It is always good to have fellow brewers and...

Give them a call they are really nice to deal with... I have always found them very helpfull I hope this helps regards Stephen

Great to see ya Neil I hope that over time we can make Pudgy's a place where people who love a brew feel free to bring their brew and enjoy each others company...power to us mad men who insist on brewing!

through Craftbrewer or in larger numbers through Plasdene.

we serve our Dobsons Old Trout ESB trough a Beer engine but keep the keg in a kegerator at between 8-9 degrees we give the customer the choice of ordering theirs with or without the sparkler attached most go for the sparkler but some purists prefer without either way it is delicious. the rest of...

As you guys know we really love seeing fellow brewers. and having a few with friends. you are welcome any time whether we are open or not, drop in for a pint.

over the weekend we had a number of home brewers visit Pudgy McDucks for an ale thanks Dave, Dan and Neil, especially Dan who showcased four excellent brews which were well received by myself and the others at the bar...Hopefully we can encourage Dan to be a guest brewer over the next few...

I think that the glass you are using may be nucleated...this is where the glass is chemically treated in manufacture to have microscopic pits etched into the glass and cause the CO2 to cascade up the sides. every new pint glass has minituare holes in it in order to bounce or circulate gas in...

Well guys read it and weep...but my missus managed an all grain brew by herself last week ...and I must say it smells sweet!

Guys can only add a positive review of the kegerator Ross supplies, it does the job is virtually foolproof and is quality kit. also you have the assurance that if there is a problem, Ross will take care of it....also last and by no accounts least, he supports us brewers and the very forum we are...

So Ross, to have my final say on your thread topic, its not the machinery that makes the beer, it's the man. Neither the commercial or amateur brewer has an absolute advantage over the other as generally speaking, they don't make the same product. Their markets are different - totally different...

interesting idea I can see that they would probably be a cheap way to achieve line resistance...worth a try at that price.

I have 12 of the micro-matic stainless steel behind tap flow restrictors, Ross sells these, see here http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=4253 They are the ducks guts and are able to be adjusted at the tap and during a pour. I highly recommend also as they are very easy to clean...

As some one in the process of setting up a micro the one subject which is a minefield for the un initiated is "EXCISE". as it has to be factored into every equation from design of brewery and subsequent bond areas, to budgeting margins and returns. The process of applying for an excise licence...

I have just bought 10 of these micro-matic flow controllers, to go with perlick perl creamer taps which I have also ordered, The idea being that I can deal with any balance issues at the tap and not in the cellar, all our beers are cask conditioned and we have, six different carb levels, spread...
