Running your own business, and one based on cash (as a venue is) is damm hard. If you are the brewer and salesman and accountant it is even harder. You...

    Making the jump from home brewing to brewing for a living

    Greg - um no. Same rules apply at the state Level across NSW. A council can put conditions which impact the state license. O'Henry forgets to mention he not only turned up with a hangover on day 1, and did not learn from that, and kept turning up. Per his example, lots of volunteers but few...

    Milling Rice To Add To Mash

    As above, no need to mill. just gelatinise it first (ie cook it). If you can get rice flakes they are usually steamed and rolled and therefore the job is done. Scotty

    Rocks Brewing Build ...

    I'll side step the issues that SHFA have had around other tenants, but there is no room for any brewing and at 40+ kegs a week that is still a reasonable sized bit of kit. Growler fills will be in place as well as packaged sales. Looking forward to taking home growlers personally! ;p

Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority told us from the get-go that we would never be able to put the brewery in The Rocks. Happy for us to have the pub and beers named after the area, but...

    IPA Hopping Tips

    I'm lucky I can test BU's, the pickup from whirlpool no matter the brewery (HB or Pro) is at minimum 30%. Adding all the mid-additions without knocking back the initial hopping will see over-bittering. One beer I make is bittered from the first hops at 5 BU, the whirlpool hops add 20 Bu's ...
