    Carlton Lime Fusion Copy?

    I'd go along with the light flavoured beer base. I'd also strongly suggest adding it, at least initially, in the bottle when drinking. At least that way you can experiment without destroying an entire batch. Furthermore, you may find that once you've been brewing for a bit your tastes will...

    Cooper's Clear

    Just another piece of marketing crap. Here's a short article saying what most of us have already believed: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/myth-o...1801094691.html And I also suspect that due to the lack of flavour they get drunk at a faster rate as well.

    Cooper's Clear

    Coopers Sparkling is still just about my favourite beer. Just due to the "consequences" I don't drink it too often (or too many). My normal standby is their Pale Ale. Only 4.5% and a nice strong flavour. I find the Mild to be a Milder version of the Pale Ale and drink it heaps in summer...

    Any Sydney Brew Shops That Stock Liquid Yeast ?

    He will order it in, but personally I find I'm not normally that organised :(. From memory they normally have stock at the main branch at Girraween, although nothing like the variation you can get online.

    Compensator Faucets

    Guys, is anyone able to help with this? I know there were a fair few of these purchased a few years ago. I'm sure some of them are still being used. And if they're not, I suppose why not (i.e. are they crap and I shouldn't purchase). Thanks, tony

    Compensator Faucets

    I know this is an old topic but hopefully some of the people who bought these can give me some info. I'm looking at getting some of these. Mother-in-law is in Ireland for 6 weeks so hoping to get them sent to her. I'm hoping to be able to use one of them with a standard beer gun using 8mm...

    Biab Recipe - Hefeweizen & Mid Strength

    Thanks guys! Exactly what I was after. Will have to get the rest of the bits (from memory I only need the bag assuming nothing was lost in moving house). Of course also need the ingredients. What's recommended for buying the malts etc? I've bought gear from (from memory) Ross in Qld - I'm...

    Biab Recipe - Hefeweizen & Mid Strength

    After getting half the stuff for a BIAB 16 months ago I'm finally going to extract the digit and make a batch. I'm looking for a recipe for a Hefeweizen. I'm also looking for a recipe for a mid-strength (say 3.5%) light summer lawn-mower beer. Probably something along the lines of a Corona...

    Where Do I Get Good Beer Glasses?

    From the ebay thread there's a couple of options available: Beer steins x 24 Frosted beer glasses x 24 Both look pretty good to me. If it wouldn't be grounds for divorce I'd get a box of each.

    Glass Door Fridge For Fermentation

    What's the difference between being in a glass door fridge and just out in the "open" as those of us who don't ferment in a fridge have? In my fermenter the walls are opaque plastic so I really can't see any direct sunlight (or fluro light) hitting the actual beer. Personally I'd say go for...

    Keg Carbonation Pressure / Dispensing Pressure

    That's a good article and well worth referring to many times if you decide to balance your system. As a guide on my system I mentioned above, I have around 5m of 4mm (inside diameter) beer line. This serves perfectly at around 100kpa. It's a real pain to get onto the connections, but as...

    Hi Jye, Thanks for that. Good work on Andales part putting a full breakdown of the gun on their site. tony

    Beer Gun Leaking

    I've noticed over time my fridge was getting a huge amount of mold. Finally tracked it to the 1 inch of beer on the base :(. After investigating it seems my gun is leaking. In one night it will leak about a pint of beer (I know it's a pint cause I now put the gun in a pint glass!). I'm...

    Keg Carbonation Pressure / Dispensing Pressure

    There's a couple of different ways of doing this. Both depend on the temperature of your fridge and (obviously) how fizzy you want your beer. The reason for the difference based on temperature is that the lower the temperature the more co2 the beer will absorb (this actually explains why when...
