Probably left my run a bit late, but are these still available tavas?

I've applied to my work for a larger house allocation due to her being up the duff so hopefully I get one with enough room to have a corner in the laundry or something. Mind you the temps have dropped to the high teens here this week so hopefully they stay down there for a while and I can have...

I'll have a look around for some. We live in a mining town so surely I'll be able to find some at the tip or at the minesite tip. Lots of wasteage in these places so I'm sure something will pop up. I plan on getting an old fridge and thermostat controller at some stage but saving for a new car...

Yeah its already bottled. I'll keep that in mind though. How much gelatin do you throw in? And living in Leinster, getting the temp down is near on impossible. Fermenter is too big to get it in my fridge, the best I've found so far is to just wrap it in a wet towel and put a fan on it. But with...

Made this one. Really happy with my early taste test. Very hoppy profile. A bit of a slip (actually quite a large slip) while pouring into the fermenter through the sieve means it wasn't filtered very well so its a very soupy looking beer. Going to leave it sit for a bit longer and hopefully it...

Ok, cheers guys. I was going to just go a 46L mix just to keep in line with a general coopers can brew. Have purchased 90g of each hop style from the Craftbrewer sponsor so will see if I can create something with what I have coming. Even if it doesn't come off as fat yak I'll be happy with the...

Just discovered the site sponsors have exactly what I need so ignore the flowers/pellets question

I'm looking at doing a very rough Fat Yak style beer, not hoping for an exact clone so as not to disappoint myself. I've come up with a basic recipe, and as I live in the middle of nowhere, I have to keep it pretty simple because I can't just duck down the shop and grab whatever I need. Anyway...

Will have a look. Can do basic wiring

Yeah I'm keeping an eye out for an old fridge and a thermostat to try and keep things under control. Last brew I did, even with a wet towel and a fan, sat about 32 degrees for the entire process and was ready to bottle in 4 or 5 days!

Hi all, Discovered yesterday that I've been a member here for a while so I decided I should start to join in the conversation and learn a few things. I live in Leinster in the Goldfields of WA and mainly brew whatever is available at the supermarket in town(usually just Coopers lager or draught...
