Not this year unfortunately. Our olive harvest was way down on previous years (in common with a lot of other olive growers), and the quantity of oil we pressed is not sufficient to enable us to sell with gay abandon (lovely lady she is :D ) AND retain adequate stocks for our regular customers...

Just read a bit more about these workshops. They're $70/$80, and the ticket price for one of them "includes a set of four Spiegelau glasses valued at $69.95", also with each booking there's a complimentary admission to the main Hampton Festival the following day (Sunday 21st) :super: Could be a...

If you're withing driving distance of Toowoomba/Hampton/Cooby Dam on that weekend (20th/21st May), here's something you might be interested in - Beer Workshops hosted by Matt Kirkegaard: Go to http://www.hamptonfestival.com and click on "Food and Art Workshops". Weather up here is gorgeous at...

Thanks for posting those photos of brews - it stops me from staring at that previous disturbing image! :P

I prefer N87's...

Food for thought , this one. My heat exchanger consists of 9 metres of copper tube, and my transfer "wand" over the lip of the kettle and reaching down to the bottom (to avoid splashing and aeration) is also about 700mm of copper tube. So could you discern a difference in taste if I were to...

Or the poms favourite - The Red Lion. Or maybe Whale Oil Beef Hooked Inn :P

The Hopster's Arms

Malt'n'Barley Brews

I have no idea what's being proposed (can't access the link), but it couldn't be worse than Talkbull's "full of froth but no substance" brew, or Billy's "promises everything, but falls flat when tested" counter-offer!

Yes, providing the two outlets are on different circuits. Sparky could verify. In my case, being in the bush and having a three-phase power supply to my brew-shed, I have my HLT powered from one phase, and 2200w heat-exchanger element powered from another phase. Interesting thing to do if you...

Interestingly, it seems 230v has not been adopted Australia-wide. But whether the relevant standard states 230v or 240v, it really doesn't make any practical difference to what your power point delivers. I believe the allowable standard in states where 230v has been adopted, is +10%, -6%, which...

Power point probably rated at 10amps max as well.

I would like to extend a huge "thank you" to the kind and generous attendee at the 2016 swap at our place, who presented me with an Aventinus Eisbock -- and I cannot remember who it was! I didn't *think* I was in an alcoholically-induced haze by then, but who knows? Anyway - what a "beer"! At...

Just updated with my swappie. Mashed in and boiled up in the shed yesterday, currently chilling (in this weather? :huh: ) in a cube, and will be fed to the yeast once the FV's free. No funk, no sour, not overdosed on hops, won't contain Brettamyces, or lentils, or berries from the Amazon or...

This shows the guts of the grain mill covered by the end board, which contains the cooling fan. The end board immediately beneath the "fan" board has a circular opening covered by a speaker grille, which lets the air in, and keeps rodents out. It's a hefty 12vdc power supply which...

As in the more you drink the better she sounds...

5.7% Herbs and spices were vanilla pods, star anise, cinnamon stick and coriander seed, and hops were Brooklyn. I formulated it on the basis that the herbs/spices shouldn't dominate, but the beer should still allow the flavours to come through. Balanced, I guess is the term for it! Overall...
