I'd like to join the chorus of brewers thanking the organisers of this year's comp. It's a difficult task at the best of times, but rewarding when the beers are good. Congratulations to all entrants and place getters. All help to drive the standards of craft brewing higher. It's a bit sad to...

The SABSOSA comp has been run and won. The day went smoothly. Many thanks to all the judges and to those behind the scenes. The results trophy winners are listed here. Full results will be posted later on the SABSOSA web site. Well done to all who entered and good luck to Nationals qualifiers...

Any WA entries received will be judged with the SA entries, but won't receive awards or trophies. If they score highly we will let you know and maybe a decision can be made in WA as to whether or not it can qualify for the Nationals by comparing scores with similar WA judged beers. Is this fair...

Just a quick bump to remind SA brewers that time is running out to get your entries ready for this year's comp. Last date for entries is 31st Aug. They can be dropped off at Grumpy's at Handorf or Brew Maker at Holden Hill. Entry forms are also available at these stores. Thanks for your...

What about $19? and no shipping.

At $17.50 I'll take it off your hands. I'm in Adelaide, so can arrange to pick up.

I have used a step drill for converting 2 kegs, taps and sight glasses and then passed it on to a friend to do their's. It is still sharp and no lubricant was used. $20 from Home Hardware.

Whoops!!!! The presentation date should read 17/9/06. Thanks for picking that up Vlad. At least I didn't make any spelling mistakes.

Just a quick reminder that all entries need to be at one of the pick up points by 25/8/06. GRUMPIES is one of the pick up points, so you can drop off your entries and then pick up some more stuff to keep the beer supply flowing. Other entry drop off points are listed on the web site along with...

Just a quick reminder about the BBC Club night. Are any SA beer lovers going along? If so I'm sure they would appreciate your support and the little bit of notice left to confirm numbers and get membership stuff ready

doglet, Try putting a long bar thro the keg handles to supply a bit of leverage while working the spanner on the post in the other direction to undo the stubborn *******. Mmmmm, WD 40 flavoured beer. Could be on to something there!

doglet, First are the posts leaking? If no leave them and circulate plenty of sanitiser thro the keg. If yes,you could try laying the keg on its side and pouring a kettle full of hot water over the post, being careful where the water is ending up, (not on your foot or crutch), giving the post a...

Those of you in Adelaide with a taste for Belgian beer may be interested in this info about a club starting up at the Belgian Beer Cafe. Dear Future Beer Club Member, It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the Belgian Beer Caf Oostende - Beer Club for 2006/2007. The Beer Club...

I have just begun to use a stirrer, not for stuck ferments, but for making starters and was wondering, 1. How long to keep the stirrer going? 2. Is it ok to add more cooled wort to the already stirred starter and stir again to step it up without risking oxidation? If you're stirring the wort in...

Thanks guys. I'll connect that way and see what happens. The diagram helps a lot. With the warmer weather coming up it wil be great to have some reliable temp. control, especially for those summer pilsners! I will report in about the progress. Cheers, poiter.

I heard the Dixell temp controller mentioned. I have an XR10C and want to use it as a plug and play unit so it can be swapped from fridge to fridge. I have it connected to 240v supply and have put the probe in the fridge. The digital read out works. I attached a 3 pin plug to the side of the...
