Well, I am a k&k man. I am still tring to find a beer I can make well. Seems to me that I got far too caught up in trying to run before I learnt to walk. I grabbed nice kits, added malts, dextrose, honey and hops without really understanding the flavours and overtones these were going to put...

Just read the PayPal site.. So looks like your safe as houses.

I too have bought stuff using paypal. There is no cost to using it from what I can recall. Actually, I bought a few things in Australian dollars, used a currency conversion website and paid in $USD. But no PAYPAL charges and no problems. If you need to convert rrencies, use This site as a good...

surely someone has a suggestion?

Okay guys. Heres my latest. Made a brew with the Tooheys Special Draught. Specifics: 500gm llme 1kg "TCB Ultra Brew" 250gm Honey 12g Goldings 30 mins 12g POR Dry hopped O.G 1.062 F.G 1.018 So, It fermented for 5 days, (2 consecutive readings of 1.018) and then transferred to the clearing cube...

We used to make our own bread, but don't really have the time anymore. We have a herb/vege patch (we both love fresh basil, corriander, thyme and chillis with tomato's, cucumber, silver beet and pak-choi) I think the biggest reason I brew my own beer is that satisfaction you get when you make...

A pom sent me this yesterday titled "You didn't expect us to be gracious about it did you?"

Because you brew in your laundry? :lol:

"...You get up every mornin' From your alarm clock's warnin'....."

Mine is "Volcanic Rock Brewery" being that my nickname is Volcano. Not sure how appropriate comparing beer to basalt is, but it sounds good anyway. As far as logos, never really got into designing one. Might have a play around later.

talk about what? B)

Well just got off the phone to Tooheys and sure enough you guys are correct. They are tracked (of course) and any discrepencies, they charge the establishment large sums to replace them. Also, and interesting fact, if you are found to be in possession of a keg without consent from Tooheys, the...

Well if thats the case I might just return it. Ignorance is not an excuse. Thanks for the heads up guys.

Funny you should bring up 50lt kegs... Saturday night after the rugby a few mates and I walked to a pub to get some more grog to drown our sorrows. We walked past the keg bay (empties) and I made a comment like "man, I'd love to get one of those to do some home brewing in.." One of the guys...

I shopuld also mention that I don't have any bottles, I use kegs. But let me see if I get this correctly now. If I wanted to use the "yeast cake", I take about 1/3 of a cup or so, and put it in the plastic bottle as a replacement to the liquid yeast. From there, I follow the instructions to...

I'm not quite sure what you mean here? Are you saying use this sediment instead of the liquid yeast? I have a brew that is fermenting as we speak, and will be putting it in a C/C in about a week, so I will have all the sediment/cake at the bottom of that available to me.

Hey all, My name is Matt, and I live in Lalor Park in NSW. I am 28 years old and have a (very patient) wife I love very much, two dogs and a mortgage. I am a java programmer working for a company that creates medical software for triage entry and Operating Theatres/Emergency Department...

Is This Page a good example of how to create and use yeast starters? (The girraween store is actually my local HBS)

Howdy all, So I am starting to get more and more adventurous as to what I am prepared to try and the next item on my [s]hit list is yeast starters. After reading on various forums and so forth it is apparent that the strain of yeast you use has as much to do with the outcome and flavour of the...

Well, I doubt highly if muscle will turn to (or more accurately, be replaced by) fat in 2 weeks. I know i was rather inactive over the two weeks, but not _THAT_bad.
