Way to go Doc. Great to see people like yourself/Batz/JM/GMK/Big D etc etc helping out us noobs. We don't know how... we don't know when... but we'll repay the favour one day...

A quick question - when you steep the grain, how much water do you steep it in? somewhere between 2 & 4 Litres? Do you know how close this is to the original? Cheers.

Well, I am stoked to report it worked a treat! The beer is perfectly gassed (force-carbonation method) and has a real crisp, authentic taste. A little light on body and head retention, but probably due to only using dextrose without any malt. What I thought was going to be a dud worthy of...

Bwahahahaha!!! Excellent story lurker!! My wife came out and asked me what I was laughing about. "You wouldn't understand" :lol: :lol:

Sorry to hear about it Johnno. Poor service sucks regardless what it is your buying. If you don't want to go in there, write them a letter. Address it to the owner/manager and let them know how unhappy you are. Needless to say, avoid that store. Tell everyone you know about how poor the service...

About a year ago I made a home brew with my old man and the father in law. They affectionately named it "2 pa's ale". Well, after sampling it after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks it was a shocker. I was going through the shed (where I keep them) and decided to give one another shot. Put her in the...

My missus doesn't drink beer alot, but she doesn't really care too much about it either. She is inclined to get her back up if I make a mess or take over the kitchen when she is using it. She has poured me beers and has even bought me home a few imported specials. She came home with a 6 pack of...

Dammit... I want some too. Stupid bloody Christmas. We are moving to Brisbane so I won't be able to pick any up for at least 4-6 weeks... /me wishes he could get some more kegs. :P

heheh... love your work. Really though, are you not interestedin making some cider for her though? I wonder how it does turn out. How many fermenters does that make for you now?

Good question Johnno. Do you just have to check the seals (and replace if necessary) or are there pressure tests that need to be done?

Was shopping in Coles the other day and; after hearing Johnno enquiring about the CCB I thought I'd whack it in the fermenter for a test run. Money was short and so was time but I managed to sneak this into the shopping trolley. I got it home and got to work meticulously cleaning my fermenter...

My Clearing Cube is a 25 litre food grade plastic cube from K-Mart. I think it cost under $20 bucks. Money well spent I reckon.

Why would we pay $110 from you when you can pick up a reconditioned keg from a HBS for under or around the $100 mark?

What about something like this from BBQ's Galore? Just leave the plate off.. http://www.barbecuesgalore.com.au/products...=1&PriceRange=1

Thanks JaonY! Thats excellent!

JasonY - that is EXACTLY what I was looking for. One question though. When you say you use a piece of foil with the edges turned up so as not to disturb the grain bed, what do you mean? How do you position this? Do you attach it to the sparge water hose or just sit it on the grain bed and let it...

I suppose so. I do really want to know how this AG stuff works anyway. Actually, I would _LOVE_ to participate in someone elses brew day (in the Sydney area) hint hint :)

Okay, so I've done a few K+K's nad have recently obtained 2 kegs. Getting the esky for the mash/luater tun is easy part. I would really like to have a go at an AG brew, so please bear with me as I ask more dumb questions. I've read through the relevant chapters on http://www.howtobrew.com and...

Was in Ballina last weekend and got into the JS Amber Ale. Great drop IMHO. Does anyone have any recipes to try and emulate this? I would absolutely love to make this beer. Cheers, Matt.
