Nice one Earl ☺ Now I'm fed & watered here's a bit more... let's see how many verses we can pull together. Twas the day before case swap & all through the bar, not a brewer was stirring not even Lord Goomba, Beer glasses and barmats were laid out with care, Kegs gleaming and shiny; their lines...

Twas the day before case swap & all through the bar, not a brewer was stirring not even Lord Goomba, Beer glasses and barmats were laid out with care, Kegs gleaming and shiny; their lines clean and bare, Then a noise did arise from under a table, And a figure tried standing as best it was...

Any hop growers attending? I want to pump a more experienced gardener than myself for hints and tips on growing hops in SE QLD... :ph34r:

Just put down today via BIAB. A favorite recipe that I am forever tinkering with... Otterman IPA v.3.0 Batch size: 23lt Est OG: 1.052 Est FG: 1.013 Est IBUs: 42.1 Est. ABV: 5.1% (after bottling) 86% Bairds Soft Red Wheat Malt (Torrified Wheat Malt) 6% Bairds...

I have a wedding down in Melbourne the Friday night before the swap for a friend of SWMBO, but I manage to convince her that I would become insufferable if I had to miss another case swap so we'll be flying back into Brisvegas around lunchtime Saturday. Whew, that was a near thing :ph34r: I'm...

Holy Crap Dans, that looks amazing - you've got me looking into an aquaponics system now. It's something I've always been interested in but growing fast and abundant hops has sold me on it now :D THIS isn't you is it? The system looks quite similar.... are you using a bell siphon?

That it will!

Room for one more gents? I'll not be swapping but am dead keen to catch up with everyone again since I missed the last one. Though I might avoid using your oven to cook the snacks this time Winkle since it only has one heat setting - volcanic. I'll probably bring along a bunch of my latest...

I use both fairly regularly; us-05 for American (and most of my Australian) style beers and s-04 for my British ales. My past experiences have shown that s-04 can tend to 'stick' just before finishing so I like to make a big starter or pitch onto the yeast cake of my last s-04 brew. Both...

I've made two ESBs before using EKG both times with no complaints but recently tried a single hop ESB using Challenger after reading an article on Fullers London Pride, a British ale I've been enjoying a lot lately. From now on I think Challenger will be replacing EKG as my goto British...

Well done Coopers, for their own version of the Pacificale. A similar style to the Stone and Wood Pacific ale from the looks of it, a great ROTM either way. Though in my of Kit and Bits days I used to do something quite similar but using a Coopers Lager or Pilsner can in place of the Pale ale...

I can't 'Like' this enough, love your Hefes dude. Though change of hops and a cube addition? It'll be interesting to see if how that change comes through.

OMG, Doctor Who season 9, episode 11! It's full of little Easter eggs and that's one hell of a bird! "The hybrid; half Darlik and half Timelord..."

Welcome Redman, It's always nice to know there's another brother-in-brewing out here in the Brisbane area, even if you don't get as much time brewing as you might like. You're right about the wort kits being the most time efficient if not the most price efficient (plus you miss out on the joy...

Another double brew week and since I'll be away over Christmas (and consequently not brewing) I figured; why not put down a couple of Lagers now so they can do their thing while I'm away? Vienna Lager OG: 1.052 Est. FG: 1.013 IBUs: 24.9 ABV: 5.1% 95% Weyermann Vienna...

I've just done a run of German beers, weisses & a kolsch namely plus a cider for the missus to enjoy over the holidays. For me there's a modified vienna/centennial SMASH and an easy drinking IPA to enjoy over Christmas. Tried but true recipes for me as we approach the silly season...

National Homebrew goes above and beyond once again! Gather around kiddies and let Uncle Meno tell you a tale... So I placed my regular order online this Monday just past; grains, yeast, hops, new brewtoys - you know the drill and not long after ordering I get a telephone call. It's Martin from...

I pitched onto a yeast cake of Wyeast 3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen which may or may not have been a bit rash (it blew out the airlock on day 3 :blink: ). As for the watermelon; I added about 3.5 liters of puree I made myself at home by chopping up watermelon and blitzing it with a stick blender...

I just knocked off work and I think this might be the hottest muggiest night yet this summer. A perfect time to try my first glass of my new Watermelon Weiss. She's still a bit young but very refreshing. The watermelon is very present but not over-powering. A hit of clove on the back of the...

Happy Birthday Liam, I'll be raising a pint to you today at the Sail & Anchor Pub... and maybe at the Little Creatures Brewery... and maybe at the Dutch Trading Co. All for your birthday, you understand :ph34r:
