Wonder how that $826k went with thier dumping of a few hundy thouso litres due to a brewhouse infection ... Cents per litre on raw materials is real easy, try and do one for you services .... that aint so easy to figure out a kw/l when you have a retail and producition facility.

May know a bit about this, focus 110% on your cellar door. Most small independant bottle stores are a bit slow on paying the bills ... its all about cash flow ...

No barrel aging? Prefer those ones ...

Yes, there is no right answer. The beer discussed won a World Beer Cup medal in the English Summer Ale category just to confuse issues. We have made a few 100% wheat beers for ourselves and a contract (one included wasabi), and I'd also say there are quite a few brewers chasing a similar light...

I read thru, and seemed that much of the discussion was about a light Pale Ale that simply uses what was a new hop in dry hop. Unlike a beer like Barons (forgive me for mentioning them) Wattle Seed Ale ... or a take on a different theme ... Vienna Imperial Lager ... with belgo ale and lager...

and thier beer is tasty as well ...

Go to Batch Brewing in Sydney, totally tops pallet bar

Yep sorry, on average we have about 2100l in the whirlpool, but follow the same principles at home. Also one year made about 30000l of wort packs for another business and followed the same principles.

Whirlpool for 10, sit for 5, then run off in 45. For the high alpha Aussie hops, they fry off really quick. Hence why we dry hop alot and hold right back on the bittering. I am also lucky that with the colandria it helps to manage the boil, remember hops help to reduce boil overs.

Hi - I got that. More so my point is that you can get a heap of utilisation, perhaps more with the difference in cooling times. This is good stuff to look at, particularly as it relates directly to the brewers here

Actually less, 10 mins WP, 5 min rest and out you go. Takes 45 mins thru heat ex. We don't muck around as the next batch has to go in ...

Sorry, i get 80% of the BU's from the whirlpool. I'll do more testing in a few weeks, but i know from practice; * Pale ale with 3 grams a litre of whirlpool gives 50% of total BU from whirlpool (mix of mid - low alpha hops) * IPA with 5 gms a litre whirlpool gives 50% of total BU (using a mix...

The usual software programs used to pretty much ignore the BU's gained from the whirlpool step, so the no-chill isomerisation rates would be out of the picture. i know what i usually get for the whirlpool step thru testing with a photospectrometer via a pentance absorbance test, it can be up to...

Hi Mate There is a fairly active forum for the IBU's which will get you added onto. The IBU's are not the traditional meet every month sort of group, but you will see how it rolls quickly enough. Scotty

Doc may do some work in the brewery on the wort production side, but most do not give this option and the site does all the work. Ie. you order the beer, pay your bill, get your stock. Last year I contracted over 250,000l across 4 sites (have brewed in 8-9 over time), know this gig backwards as...

Phoney Ignore the above (sorry fella's, you are not right here). If you are seeking access to a Contract Brewed Beer you will need a NSW Wholesale Licence, this allows you to buy from and sell to another Licence Holder. If you are going this route, you order the beer and all raw material /...

May have had tanks, but not sure they ever fired it up ... i'll check with Keith @ Potters ...

I'll check with Chris McNamara, no news yet. Typically the outcome of the review comes out about June, for consideration over the following 6 months. The vessel size is Federal Government, not State, so not connected. The Dept of Finance is the body to make any changes there, and as of yet the...

Never let the truth get in the way of a mediocre story. One of the original investors/directors was a Hunter wine fella, they tried with no sucess to put in a brewery at that site, so went into a site at Cameron Park just off the highway towards Newie. Would have been there for about 4-5 years...

Speaking to one of the fellas today they are not listing 2 more hops, one starting with M ...
