First off, welcome to the forums and brewing! I was in your shoes not all that long ago and basically just wanted to make Tooheys Extra Dry but about twice the strength. But since joining the forums and a homebrew club, my tastes and brewing has changed for the definate better! The best advice...

Thats the type Bonj! With the plastic seats and all!!!! The floor boards on the ceiling are there so when your drunk and can't get back up, your not all that disorientated! I reckon it'd look good done up as an old style English pub, clean up the floor boards and the panelling around the walls...

And one of those retro table top arcade machines... Always wanted one of those!

Just wondering what the size is of the elbows on CB or whichever false bottoms are?? Are they 1/2" or 3/8 i?? My mash tun is all welded up and just need the size of the elbow so I can get the internal fitting to suit. Cheers, Andrew

Good score mate... Just wish I had some luck like that now!

Everything is there mate... Except the gas bottle

Here you go guys, I'll be sending a stripper up on my behalf... I think she's a real beauty :wub:

Nah, I think its got to do with mapping out peoples hydro setups! :D Was a mechanic for 9 or so years, left it all behind at the end of last year to go to uni and study Biotechnology. Got sick of working the hours, up to my elbows in grease and dust all day, to get paid peanuts at the end of...

It may not have come from the hops, it was the only time i left the whole thing, hops and all in there. So I put it down to getting an extremely harsh bitterness from doing so. I might have to give it a go again one day and see if there is any difference from what I can remember from last time

In the wort

Your going to get some in there... But your not going to add all the hops that the recipe calls for to the fermenter once boiled... As I have done in the past and it tasted like horse ****

The easiest way is to put it in hop bags and remove at the end of the boil. You don't really want the hops that you've boiled up in the fermenter. When I first started brewing I did just that and basically put it all down the sink (the overall effect was an extremely harsh beer). Dry hopping...

As bum said... I don't think they'd give away all the recipe, but it'd give everyone a bit of an idea on what to aim for. On Can You Brew It they reckon alot of the brewers are pretty open about they're recipes as well. Just trying to perfect it (or get it as close as humanly possible) would be...

@Ivesy: Yeah they still have Coopers on tap... They pissed Bluetongue Lager off to put it on though! They couldn't have picked one of the other beers i.e. VB!!! <_< I suppose, you win some, you lose some

Alot of the American microbreweries put a fair bit of information on their websites as well... I think Rogue does which will help me too cause I want to do a Mocha Porter clone once the AG is all setup

I'm back there first thing on Monday morning. It'll be time to hit the library up for a few hours of research! Thanks heaps!
