I know it is a long shot but if there is any specialty grain going I would be in on it. I have plenty of base malt at the moment. cheers johnno

Brewing a stout right now. Also will be making a wheatie tomorrow or Sunday. cheers johnno

G'day all. The reason for the 160 gm of Roasted malt and 40 gm roasted barley is because i only had 160gm of the roasted malt. Yep warren I should have used more of that roasted barley. Just realised it is not too dark when i mashed in. I've been blundering around the house doing odd jobs and...

Awesome. Top bargain for the buyer. cheers johnno

A very good hop IMHO. If you like cascade this is a good one to try. It is not a sub for cascade but has somewhat similar characteristics. Special qualities of it's own,(makes you sleep) like all varieties. Used it in a lot of APA's when I first started AG a few years ago. Also did not use...

Anyone know anywhere in Melbourne city I can get a stir bar? cheers johnno

Took this pic last week sometime. It is an APA. Don't know if it is my best lace but looks pretty good. Small size nonic. cheers johnno

Well, I ended up fermenting this and was bottled last week. Brother in law came around yesterday and I used him as a guinea pig. He had 7 pints in 3 hours and was still alive today. Have tasted it and it seems ok. Still do noy want to store for too long though. cheers johnno

If you are not sure you should not chance it. Try and find a friendly brewer in your area that does know how to wire one up. I would rather pay a sparky than take a chance with the electricity. cheers johnno

The only flowers I have used are fresh POR from my homegrown. Have to say they are very smooth. Wish I could grow all varieties. :) And what is all the fuss about POR? Grow some at home and you will love them.

OK. Rockin Coach Blattodea Ale it is then. :D cheers johnno

Was brewing yesterday and after adding the sparge water I picked up the utensil I use as a mash paddle to stir the mash and a cockroach went into the mash with it. Bastard died pretty quick but I had to fish around to find it. Have not named the brew yet. I'm sure it was GL who ran one through...

There is also the Oz good beer guide directory from the links page. http://www.goasdoue.com/agbd/ cheers johnno

Long term storage is bad in the hot weather. The trick is to drink them as quickly as possible. One thing I do like about bottling in the heat is that the bottles carb up within a few days. A batch is lucky to last 2 days here after being bottled anyway. cheers johnno

wtf is that? Looks like yarra water. cheers johnno

Just had a look. Brewed 22 x 23 litre batches. I had to stop in August as I could not get any more help. cheers johnno
