    2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

    Its seems I spoke to soon about being happy that I got the beer in the bottle safely.........AARRRGGGHH! Got home from a week away and have just gone to box them up. One of the (BTW brand new) bottles must have had a fault in it near the bottom, resulted in a pin hole size chunk of glass coming...

    2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

    Got my Schwarzbier into bottles yesterday, very relieved as any beer I plan on sharing often ends up with some problem along the way. Looking at the bottles and what's on the list it's going to take me a while to get through them all!

    What are you Brewing 2016?

    I have also been mucking around with different IPA recipes trying to find the sweet spot. While I realise many of the older style IPA's are considered caramel malt heavy I kinda 'grew up' on that style and have a soft spot for them. I really think the two extremes of the style (older crystal...

    Whats In The Glass

    Benchmarking my homebrewed #thepourreport Single Tap IPA (with modified hopping, basically a freezer clean out) with one of Australia's best commercial examples @batchbrewingcompany West Coast IPA. Mine has a whole bunch of new world hop character as apposed to the lovely classic pine/grapefruit...

    Nothing like 1L of slurry to get things cranking 18hrs in, even at 10degC. Happy yeast!

    Cocoa Nibs - Chocolate Vanilla Porter

    They are stocked at the Essential Ingredient. Roselle and Alexandria, from memory you're on the Nth Beaches so not super close unfortunately? The ones I got I used plain, they were already a brown colour and smelt like chocolate. I soaked them in vodka for a week and threw the whole lot in...

    What are you Brewing 2016?

    Seeing that it looks like we now have year-round summer here on the mid-nth coast of NSW I thought I might brew a nice Helles! Super simple recipe, more focused on getting the ferment right. Using pure O2 for the first time thanks to Balcony Brewer. Using a mix of pale malt and Pils to get the...

    2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

    Thanks, I that would be great! I am at Wauchope so Taree is just down the road. Hold fire though as I might have a source locally that will save you dragging bottles up from Sydney. Will PM you if my other source doesn't work out. Either way I am in for the swap, post with name to come

    2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

    Is this swap glass only? Would love to opt in (so many VIP's of AHB on the list!) but would have to drink two cases of Coopers longies between now and May as I mainly keg/PET....."sorry wifey, boys at AHB want glass crown seals so I better drink 4 long necks of Coopers red ASAP"

    Cancer in a family member

    As a biochemist, an ex-pharma dev scientist, a science teacher and a human being I wish your Dad all the best Manticle. I hope that medicine can make a happy ending for your old man.

    Where can I buy the Heady Topper?

    You could always try making it? Plenty of clone recipes on US sites? I got some of the yeast from yeastbay last year but am yet to try brewing it

    Knurling on a Mashmaster Mini Mill

    I had some issues with crush in the last few brews and this thread made me paranoid. My main issue was grain jumping over the rollers and a slow feed. Had a play yesterday with gap size and drill speed. Ended up widening the gap and speeding the drill up. I had previously made the gap thinner...
