Sorry about the hop flower Trent, must eat your greens though. However...that beer was for the NSW Xmas case swap beer not the HAG one ;) I know the AIPA I put in the HAG swap was dark but I was aiming for something a little less then jet black :lol: Cheers

Don't get me wrong if you can get one for $190 its a good buy. But if it is going to go up close to $300 I wouldn't bother. This is the Crown urn and it does everything I need. Tap was easily replaced also.

I reckon the best bet is just go buy one from a chef type place. I bought a 40ltr Crown urn new for $235. I guess it depends if you want to wait and possibly save $20.

Yeah sorry about the carbonation on mine Steve. Might be a good idea to put this one in the fridge folks. Cheers

I ended up with a AHA membership, BYO renewal and a bottle of Chivas Regal Royal Salute Sapphire scotch so quite happy. I tried to give the gf a Wii but somehow she picked up on my ruse <_< Cheers

Congrats Keith you deserve it! Was sad to see Luke go but Potters are lucky to pick up another great brewer to fill the spot. Really great news! I'm there if there is a recovery session on new years Mark. Cheers

Watch how you handle these glasses they are REALLY fragile. I got one a few weeks back and it lasted about 2 hours... Washing it for its first use and snapped in my hands and I wasn't being ruff with it. I was lucky enough to get another one though so all is good.

1. Les/ Weizguy - Aventinus weizenbock-style ale aka Teninch Double D (Dunkelweizen Doppelbock). 7.7% alc. Bottled with reserved wort on 8/12 (so give it a little time in the fridge - maybe up to 6 months for a strong beer like this) 2. Offline - APA Bottled 11/12 3. goatherder - Imperial...

ooooohhhhh you are one of the harsh (read - honest) ones I was hoping didn't get a flower! :lol: No no Trent give me your most honest feedback, not that I would think you wouldn't ;)

Well glad to hear other then the flowers it was ok. Ok well I change my comments from drink at xmas to drink NOW. It did CC for a good 3 weeks. Thanks for your helpful words Tony, and for being kind. I couldn't find my bottling wand (I am glad I only bottle 1 to 2 times a year) and had to...

Ok....I'm sorry about the possible hop flower or 2...Quite embarrassed to see some hop flowers in there..... I was REALLY short on volume and obviously made the most of what I had left. :mellow: I am truely sorry Tony (and all who possibly get another flower!). Glad you liked the beer and I...

And here I was thinking I bought down the Hunters finest! :o :P

Can all the Newcastle/Hunter people wanting me to take their beers down on Saturday make sure they are at Marks HB by 4pm tomorrow. I know there are a couple in there already but not sure if they all are yet. Cheers

I think there might be about 5 who need to get them down. Thanks for the offer but doesn't really make it any easier as people would need to go down to pick them up anyway. I think if the rest can get them to Marks we will sort something out. Cheers

For the rest of the Newcastle/Hunter brewers needing a way to get your beers down for the swap can drop them off at Marks Home Brew and we will sort out a way to get them there. DROP OFF POINTS Direct to flops ---------------- floppinab Barramundi Stuster Steve Crozdog Redbearrrrd Oblomov...

I thought I might have been able to get a lend of the ute I took all the Newcastle beers down in for last years swap but looks like I can't... How many more Newcastle people need their beers taken down? Any others then Keith and Trent have transport options? Cheers

I made one 2 weeks ago. Used 3 oysters in a 25ltr batch, Keith said Potters used 6 in a 600ltr batch and it was to many...Why I then used 3 in 25ltrs i don't know (something to do with a drunken conversation with Les I think)... I tried it the other day out of primary and it is quite minerally...

Due to time restraints I'm going to put in a Foreign Extra Stout I originally brewed for the HAG case in here as its ready to bottle and I think the HAG case closes later so it gives me more time. 1. SJW - (1a-Bo Pils) (1b-Bav Lager) (1c-English Bitter) (1-d Duvel Clone) 2. Stuster - English...
