Hi there, Hugh took a pic with me in it. Was a great course, really enjoyed talking about brewing for 5 days. PM on the way. cheers Patrick.

Not much to add. A pic of the panel, by request, and a pic of the lads at LC. Thanks for a great week boys, good brewing luck to all.

Hi all, Some pictures from today.

Enthusiasm. Oh, reading and writing and drinking help :-)

Well it costs $1500 and takes a week and you can find most of the information in books etc yourself but this will probably take a lot longer and in the process you may waste time and money following dodgy advice or buying crappy books or going up dead ends. I've been brewing for about 8 years...

Very well. These past two days we've been parked behind desks going through lectures on malting, mashing, hops, boiling, cooling, aeration and other things. Quite a few from the east and quite a few from breweries including one from Swan. Bloody long day though, I mean it's like uni but without...

The only way to tell if you're ready to rack is by looking at the final gravity. If it's stabilised then go ahead. You don't want fermentation to have completely stopped as you want some carbonation to happen when you put it into a sealed container, that's your secondary fermentation. With a...

They look like these ones. I've made an enquiry but I guess Alex would already have an idea?

Agree. This is my weapon of choice for Belgians and their US derivatives. It doesn't seem to throw the strong esters that the other Wyeast Belgians do.

See QLDKev's comment above.

Looks very interesting. How do we buy online?

2. Taking a bit of a liberty with the constitution there. What about the first part part, "It being necessary" etc? Anyway most of us, particularly the police, are fairly happy with not having a heavily armed general population. 3. The only state sponsored racism here is towards the Aborigines...

No, this Father Jack: http://www.freewebs.com/caloundraover35sfc...0Dave%20Pen.jpg

Straw that broke the camel's back? After a week? Who is this guy, the Incredible Hulk? Father Jack???? Insane in the membrane ...

Oh yeah. If you walked into emergency then you would be treated without incurring any cost or being required to be a member of a health fund. Dental can be free but you can also pay for private. Same goes for vision. Only the federal govt. can levy an income tax. It's a progressive scale...

I dunno, what's the profile. Is it big and hoppy?

As a postscript to this discussion, the IBS here in Perth is about to start taking legitimate shipments of the Sierra Nevada range. They have a fully fledged import arrangement with the brewery that stipulates conditions for the shipping of the beer over and above the standard. So I asked them...

No one's telling them what to charge. I was just gobsmacked by a $600 carton of beer.

I don't know what the biggest selling beer in Belgium is, it may well be Stella however the beer range there is enormous. There are hundreds of pubs, some big and some small, that sell a large range of styles but I never saw one that wasn't doing a brisk trade. You can tell from the way the...
