Hey guys, this thread leads me to ask a question I've been wondering about. I'm considering picking up some kegs. Ill be using a pluto gun that lives inside the fridge. If your pouring a beer or two most nights, do you have to flush out the lines when your done or does the beer just sit inside...

yep. buckleys have been making beer up there for a long time. off the shelf in a random shop ive had some truely dreadful beer from them, but ive had just as many decent bottles and the brewery visit i made was very friendly and the beer from the bar brilliant. perhaps they have some handeling...

If you want an adventure, catch a train on the lillydale line to lillydale. then get the bus that heads to healesville. jump off the bus at coldstream and have a few at coldstream brewery. get back on the bus and head to healsville. have a few at white rabbit and bukleys. head to yarra glen and...

here in melbourne i was digging over my compost heap that had been over run by self seeded tomatoes and pumpkins. i was surprised to find a few scraps of ginger from the kitchen have grown into fully fledged plants. they've had no care, little light as the heap was in a wooden box and nothing...

i think your right ross. having read a bit, i don't think trying to make vinegar from it would be any good. Im certainly not keen to be trying my hand at sour beers, I can barely make a normal one. :-) I took the recipe in good faith, I've no doubt it was my methods and ignorance that killed it...

raven: ill see if i can get a pic for you unrealous: i did make a starter, but it was only about a pint. true i didnt do much to aerate the wort before pitching. Tropical brews: acetobacter...hmmmm so i could make this into vinegar? Ross: Damm! i did know that but stupidly forgot until you...

Hi all, just thought id share for no particular reason. A few weeks ago I made the brew below, Thanks to argon for the recipe. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...mp;#entry696753 All went well with the brew, untill i realised that i couldnt find an airlock for the fermenter. I have...

jeebus. thats cheaper than a shuttle bus to byron bay!

let me know any other northern Ireland discoveries wakkatoo. we're heading over late April to early June, we'll be staying in Downpatrick outside Belfast.

if your near belfast, take a look at hilden brewery. its in an old farmhouse. as i recall, very nice beer and decent food. its been nearly three years since i was last there. http://www.hildenbrewery.co.uk/

ive seen these very pots at wantirna, they are quite thin and have no thick base. but they are cheap.

home chutney maker who sidled up to the conversation hoping to make friends shuffles feet, stares at the ground and wanders away.... :)

brewers den is on dorset road in the middle of boronia. same side as the police station. next to the fishing shop.

would be keen to hear how these perform if anyone actually gets one.

that brilliant browndog. as so many have stated here before, the inginuity and engineering skill here is amazing. the effort and skill that some people will put into their brew gear. but the flip side of make do with whats to hand is often inspiring. then there is the flip-flip side: that...

looks less impressive than many of the breweries owned by members here!

if your in the eastern suburbs of melbourne, head to the wantirna trash n treasure market on a sunday morning. there is a bee keeper there who sells a range of honeys in all sorts of sizes up to small buckets. hes very friendly and gives tastings. prices seem pretty reasonable. i make a special...

ive seen, but not used, an arrangement that has a double holed bung. in one hole goes a racking cane or pick up tube of your choice, into the other goes a filter. you blow into the filter to presurelze the demijon. similar to spillsmostofits idea i supose. i cant recall they filter type, but it...

Im keen to give this one a go. Any comments on how it turned out? Cheers.

thanks for that argon, ill give it a try. When do i add the sugar? at the end of the boil? and is it plain white sugar or is it better to use brown? cheers.
