Thanks for all the kind words guys. Not planning on shuffling off the mortal coil and still love a good beer! Just don't have the impetus to make it myself these days. :) It's a great hobby that has forged a lot of great, lifelong relationships and who knows I may even bob up again one day...

Reply sent. ;) Warren -

Give me a day or so guys... If there's no firm offers I'll consider splitting the rig. Just let me figure out some prices. Hey Ferg I used to be a Westgate member many years ago. Stopped going around 2003. Kirem... Sounds like our situations are similar. I like a beer but prefer a bit of...

Hehe played a lot of Shane whilst brewing. B) Warren -

Hey lads... thanks for all the concern etc. Just don't drink anywhere near as much as I used to so it's hard to justify making it myself anymore. Still love a beer but I guess it's easy to just buy something nice from a good bottlo these days. :) Thanks Manticle I'll keep your offer in mind...

Hey forum You are probably all relieved of the quiet because I've not been around of late. :D Anyway I've hit that point where after 15 years the hobby doesn't cut it for me anymore and I'm getting out of the game. Basically my whole kit is up for sale (there is no pump though). I'd prefer...

Smurto... good to hear you're still finding the recipe productive. :) Bribie... yer two shades too short. :D Was close on the weekend. Got 4 shades happening but it was porter. I shall graduate back to the stout. Melbourne's shitty weather demands it ATM. Warren -

Not sure where you got that info Ross... Mind you I have no objection to Rice in my own beers and quite enjoy it. Budvar is brewed in the Czech Republic and is not to be confused with a British-brewed American rice beer with a similar name. The Czech beer is a far superior product and a perfect...

They obviously don't call him ragman for nothing... Must be that time of the month. B) Warren -

Geez T.D. next thing you'll be telling us you're a forum sponsor.... Noooooo! :D Warren -

Sometimes you just gotta go back to basics to reset your mind... Who's Best & Nevermind :beerbang: Warren -

Looks nice Rooky !! You should have added keywords "bogan" or "boobs" or "goat" and I would have picked it quicker. :D Warren -

Yah Q. It's still the old trouper... Even when rook's not blowing it up :lol: Robust little strain. Leave it in the fridge for 7 months and it fires up overnight ! I'll put aside a bottle of the regular and rocket fuel for you if you wish. Warren -
