a bit painful to watch but still worth it for a good laugh at the contestants. It was weird to see Justin and JP in a ad for a Ford dealership, but ads for medical marijuana are a bit of a culture shock for me.

The guys at crown cellars are great, very knowledgeable and friendly. They regularly get in new stuff. But most importantly they understand proper beer handling and have good stock rotation so you know your not buying some thing that has sat on a warm shelf for the past year.

Thanks for the headsup kenlock I have just set recorder to grab each episode, sound like it worth a watch.

Mango goes very nicely with wheat beers. You could also just make an wheat beer that you will enjoy and your wife can mix in some mango juice, just like a raddler. I have done this a few times as my wife likes fruit beers but they don't do much for me. Let us know how you go.

I had a bottle on CBES last night and I thought that it was not living up to my memories. I just put it down to a bad/old bottle but after reading this post I am not sure.

Maybe some of us Tasmanians should get together and start organizing our own comps, maybe start a Tasmanian brewing club? Edit: Seems like people are already keen to get something started. did the Idea of a Launceston based club go anywhere? http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...=51754&st=0

Based on my own experiences I would say 1.010 is a normal finishing gravity for S-04. I have just kegged a English Brown Ale that started fermentation on the 25th of march using S-04, my starting gravity was 1.055 and it finished at 1.014 which is only just off my target using the recipe in...

I Have never been into the shop but whenever I order online or over the phone all the staff at G&G have been a pleasure to deal with. On the few occasions when they have been out of stock on a item I ordered, their advice on an alternative item was very polite and helpful. I would definitely...

I got a Bigland Vacuum Sealer off ebay last year for around $50 and have had no problems with it. Had a quick look on ebay this looks like the new model. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-2011-Vacuum-Foo...#ht_4208wt_1139 best of luck with your hops. I cant wait until my plant are giving yields like...

Thanks for the info, I will definitely check out the New Sydney and Coolwine while I'm down there, Might do a Cascade Brewery tour too. Cheers,

Wizard Smith's is a great beer but from talking to the guys at Boags it sounds like it's pretty unlikely that they will be sending it to the mainland any time soon.

Is Coolwine still the best place to buy good beer in Hobart? I'm heading down south next week and I am hoping to pick up a few beers that I cant get in the north. any other place I should try?

Thanks BribieG, I didn't think there were any native hops in Australia but I was curious what was meant by "wild hop" and what variety was used. The more I read up on these early hop variety's grown and used in colonial Australia the more interested I become. I will defiantly be looking into...

I was reading that Pride of Ringwood was bred using pride of Kent and a wild Tasmanian hop. I also remember that Boag's made reference to a Tasmanian hop used in their Honey Porter called Van Diemen. these are probably not the same variety by could be related? Does any one know anything about...

I am pretty sure that they use Imported EKG, the previous master Brewer that came up with the beer was a Englishman and apparently he was after the particular profile of EKG. Probably on of the reasons its so expensive. But worth it IMO.

I have been thinking about making my own cheeses ever since I saw Mathew Evans do it on the gourmet farmer on SBS, but reading this tread and seeing the pics has settled it and I have ordered the Blue/Camembert/Cheddar kit from Cheeselinks. Thanks for the great thread guys. Can't wait to get...

I'm definitely keen for a tassie get together or brewday, Would be great to get some sort of club together to compare brews.

Fantastic, I was wanting to start entering comps to get some feedback, Now I know how. Thanks.

I have been pestering the local bottleshops trying to get a case but they are all telling me the Tasmanian alocation has been delayed and decreased. After reading this tread I'm wondering if it's worth the efort. I'll keep trying though as I have missed out on past seasonals. Any one in tas...
