Thanks folks. Much appreciated. Brewman is a fantastic LHBS and I'll hit him up about it. Cheers.

Hi all, my father in law owns his own CO2 bottle but it is past its compliance date and needs to be re-tested / approved for him to be able to get it refilled. The LHBS that he purchased it from is no longer in business. Can anyone provide advice as to where this can be done in either the...

Hi Grok My home brewing hobby has actually led me to open a microbrewery with some mates in Newcastle. One of our most popular and certainly unique beers is our Lilly Pilly (Riberry) sour. It started out with the same thought process as you. Tasting the riberry fruit from the Bunnings Lilly...

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. Great name, great music and great videos. These blokes are killing it. Be sure to watch the film clip trilogy in order: Mr Prism, Tally-Ho and Pukebox. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Tally-Ho (Official Video) - YouTube

Nice! I hadn't heard of these blokes. I'll make sure to check them out more. Cool that they're kiwis. (Not that I am). I really highly rate "Infest The Rats' Nest" from "King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard" from a couple of years ago. So good and strangely prescient by basically predicting the...

I'd be interested too (price pending) if you end up doing a group buy.

I also use those 20L Bunnings jerry cans as fermenters due to the shape of my fermentation chamber (bar fridge). My concern with using a spray ball to clean them would be that there's no way a spray ball could effectively reach and clean inside the handle cavity. I fill them up with sodium perc...

Could your dip tube be blocked with hops? I have certainly had that happen to me before. I rectified the issue by connecting my gas line to a liquid out disconnect and then blasting CO2 back through the liquid out dip tube to clear the blockage. It worked but not for too long because quite...

I’ve got a NEIPA recipe that I continue to replicate (because it’s fantastic) and that’s one of the batches that I’ve canned. In my experience, the NEIPA is the most susceptible of my brews to oxidation and I did have one go south after some lax keg transfer technique. So far I haven’t had any...

Just a bit of feedback from me regarding my experience with the cannular so far. - I’ve had more success so far with naturally carbonating in the can as opposed to filling with cold, carbonated beer from the keg. This is all down to my process and equipment. I am using the Kegland beer gun...

I bought a 3 roller mill from Kegland and I don't like it. Firstly a disclaimer, I am not bagging Kegland because I don't believe that their particular mill is worse than others of the same design. I just don't like the design of the mill. These are the issues I encountered: I found the crack...

Sounds great. Count me in. Cheers.

Ah yes, sorry about that. Didn't see it hiding in there amongst the images. Under consideration. Cheers.

Have you got a price in mind?

I also second the recommendations for Shambles. It was fantastic too. Not a brewpub, but an actual microbrewery with good food as well.

I would recommend The Winston in North Hobart (I think it's the one that jlm is referring to above). It's a pub that has a good selection of craft beer on tap and the pub also brews its own beer which is also on tap. The food is pretty good too if you're into the in-vogue American fare. Think...

Thanks Muscovy. Cascade rhizome arrived yesterday. I'll get it in the ground today and get busy waiting! Cheers.

I'll take a Cascade if you have any left (wishful thinking). Cheers.

Have you tried ianh's spreadsheet? http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/29655-kit-and-extract-beer-spreadsheet/

OK, fair enough. So it seems that when you add steeped spec grains to a brew (if you don't add them to the mash) you're really only getting colour, flavour and mouthfeel but not really increasing fermentables. Cheers Nick. (also you get a gold medal for response time!)
