Is there a restriction for pro brewers who still homebrew on the side?

AS these are no separate categories for specialty IPAs (Black/Belgian/Red etc) Im assuming they need to be submitted just as American IPA? THis also means i cant enter both my Red IPA nad my Regular IPA?

Sadly I think our cool room setup does not lend itself to being used in this way as much as we wanted to, We actually cant use 50 L kegs anyway as bottle shops don't have licencing for them. Most who are using kegs this size are doing so illegally and we are going to try and stay above board as...

Hey Guys and Gals, I work at a craft beer bottleo in Crows Nest, Sydney and we are looking into getting a growler fill station. We are going to use the Keg king kegerators with the growler fill attachment as our setup. I wanted some opinions on what kit we need to purchase. The first question...

OH and im assuming cold crashing is recommended seeming i will have good temp control?

And the fact that Dad has electrical training and can do the wiring in his sleep (really handy, built his own power multi adapter in the 70s before you could get them cheap, only died a few years back). Yeah i was hoping the ferment would be exothermic enough to keep the temp stable. I'm using...

Will get a heat lamp for my next ale then. From a pet shop? Any advice on getting the probe/lamp cables into the fridge while keeping the seal ok? also what is better; the probe taped to the fermenter or into a small container of water? The fermenter would be a bit warmer right, as fermentation...

Related question, how recommended is having a heat source? Im a bit broke right now so would love to avoid buying a heat belt etc.

Haha yeah previously i had only seen setups with it bypassing the thermostat internally. Now i feel like a muppet. looks like i have some wiring to do. Do you have a recommendation for a case for it?

Hey Guys, I'm looking to brew a lager soon and i would love to use my fridge sitting in the garage to keep it nice and cool. I would put in a thermostat controller to get to to be 12 degrees nice and accurate but sadly this will be my main kitchen fridge when i move out (was the main fridge in...

Yeah, made sure of that. is a little 10L keg style from bunnings http://www.bunnings.com.au/esky-10l-high-vis-keg_p3240513

Ahh, cheers. This is my second ever brew haha, jump into the deep end. Going to use the esky+bag method as seen here: http://byo.com/stories/item/507-countertop-partial-mashing

I believe the 22.2 is the temperature of the grains, used to calculate the strike temperature.

I ordered an easy syphon from Daves Home Brew, should be delivered by next tuesday... meh a bit longer in the fermenter will do it some good anyway :p Cheers Guys, Now onto planning my next brew as seen Here http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/76951-first-attempt-at-a-partial/

My housemate has a tin of the Coopers European Larger that we want to use up. I was thinking i could use it in a partial mash recipe so i came up with this in an APA style: From Brewsmith 2.2: Recipe: Partial Stan TYPE: Partial Mash Style: American-Style Pale Ale ---RECIPE...

I guess I shall buy a new one. My LHBS sadly doesn't sell them. And it seems bunnings is not the place to go. Any ideas.... Or alternatives?

was going to put ca. 150g of dextrose in water (boiled for a bit) into a second fermenter i bought, gently stir, and then use the bottling wand on the sap of that one. saves me priming individually. I guess at room them it shouldnt leech that bad and it not like im soaking it in it. How do...
