Nice, grew up there. Still has a special place in my heart. All the best for the move

Awesome response guys! Really appreciate the input. We are currently planning exactly where to go and i love a good pop in to exciting places that were recommended. Just looking at accommodation now as to where exactly we should go. Yewwww cheers. Might go pour an ale and look over some of these...

Hi all, I have finally booked a trip to tasmania in May. I am looking for some places to go and see and enjoy. Please share with me your favourite place, beverage and why. Id love to crawl through and pop into these places and try and share what is suggested. Cheers

Yeah i know. Thanks though. I was just seeing as im happy for anything at the moment and doesnt hurt to ask. Ill keep my eye on here and ask around further. I missed last years as i only just bought my place and didnt get a chance. Soon. Soon.

Hi all, just thought id bump this thread as i am still looking. I may have some when my local brewry is ready, but i am heading south in may to tasmania via melbourne. Just seeing if anyone knows of places or people there that will have any varietys at that time. Cheers

Haha fair enough. I do it all but all grain for the moment. Extract and partials/specials. Im thinking a good dry hop for this one. Maybe even getting a keg ball. Dry hopping some then. But i think the dry will be a very late addition to my FV.

Hey man, Hope the brew goes well for you. I havent tried this one but something similar is on the coopers website but they trow in a few hops. http://store.coopers.com.au/recipes/index/view/id/54/

Hi all, as the title suggests im looking at some direction and a chat about a citra based beer. It is an expensive hop ATM but one id love to try. I scored a 100g bag and looking at doing a brew with it. Any suggestions as to style. Or maybe suggest a commercial one, one thats available here in...

So i finally kegged the brew, carbed and had a taste today. It has a nice taste, getting a bit more of the wheat than i would like and its quite dry at the end. May drop the hop boil time back and dry hop a little more to get more aromas. But i think if this sits for about a month it'll be much...

I love this idea and have never thought of it with beer. I do it with scotch. Get a nice bottle and stash it away for a date that the father sees suit. But a few brews. Man this has opened my mind. I think a stout is the go, i haven't brewed one yet. Might be the go this week.

Im not much or a barley wine guy yet. Havent tried it to be honest.

Wow, this has definitely opened up a bag of worms. I have yet to do a stout of sorts. I love the idea.

Hey Krausen, Thanks for the link, have you found the balance quite good in this? Have you done anything different? I am looking at putting this one down soon, and add berries when i rack to secondary. Thanks again! Fendercaster

After a few swirls and days i thought id check the levels again. No change. Still at 1016. After doing calcs wanting a mid strength i did my OG 1042 (5.5%) - 1016 (2%) which puts it in an ABV of 3.5% which was roughly what i aiming for, (4%) is ideal. Is that it for this brew? The sample is...

Will do. This may seem like a silly question but usually when i test or move the fermenter , due to air pulling, im kegging it that day. is it a silly question to ask is that ok for the beer as long as i replace the airlock? Especially agitation due to the swirling action?

Im very interested in 2 or 3 x 4lt and a set of tap/gas top. Very interested.

Hi all and Adrian, Didnt have much time the last 2 days so this morning 23rd, i checked the Gravity, 1016. Est was 1011. Should i put in a little sugar anyone or DME to help or let it be for the week? Cheers

Hey all, While my beers are currently fermenting away im looking at doing a batch for my soon to be first niece. My sis and best mate are having their first baby, a girl, and im looking at putting down a beer. More specifically one that is pink toned and sessionable. Although im thinking...
