1) What inspired you to start home-brewing? Why do you continue to home-brew? Mates bought me a kegerator and I had to put beer in it and couldn't afford 50 litre kegs. Enjoy it, can make more interesting beers than I can buy at a resonable price. 2) How did you go about finding the equipment...

Lucky it was sanitised! It was a cider, name is now 'Mash Paddle Cider'.

It was missing for 2 weeks....

Try Brenton at Winen Warehouse, Lobethal. He can get them in, he previously quoted me $310 back in July. I am going to get one but I just haven't got around to it. In fact, I can't believe it has been 7 months since I got that quote. www.winenwarehouse.com.au

I smashed mine the other day too. Must be an SA thing. I bought a new one.

I can't believe I didn't know about this place. I stayed in St Kilda for 1 night a couple of weeks ago, went looking for a decent beer house and couldn't find one. Now I know better.

Been there a couple of times, friendly people. I have bought beers both times. They are happy to chat about the ingredients and process. I believe they have got a beer on tap at the Wheatsheaf, and also at the Greenock pub. It is a welcome pallette cleanser after a few wineries. I can also...

Let us know how you go...I work pretty close to there too and was going to try them myself.

Someone told me to try Christies Outdoors at Hampstead Gardens. Apparently they weigh before and after and only charge for what they put in. Pretty close to you in Hillcrest too. If you need a new bottle, Stratco have them for $40 filled. I just bought 2 of them.

I've got a beer in a keg all carbonated and ready to go...it hasn't turned out the greatest but is OK. I have found that adding some lime juice cordial makes it pretty drinkable as a Radler style. I was thinking of putting about a half a bottle of lime juice cordial straight into the keg...

I've got a beer in a key all carbonated and ready to go...it hasn't turned out the greatest but is OK. I have found that adding some lime juice cordial makes it pretty drinkable as a Radler style. I was thinking of putting about a half a bottle of cordial straight into the keg. Should be OK re...

I purchased 2 pounds (cascade and amarillo) a month or so ago. Took about 2 weeks to get here. Ended up costing me about $6.70 per 100 grams. Have since spoken to them about the best amount to order to reduce shipping costs and the answer was to buy 6 pounds. Postage costs for 2 pounds was...

Thanks so far, it's a Heineken Clone, extract with grains, from BYO 150 Clones. 19l batch 0.91kg 2-row pilsner malt 0.39kg Light DME 1.13kg Light LME 0.65kg brewers corn syrup etc..

Hi, recipe wants me to add corn syrup. Do I replace this with Dextrose or Malrodextrin or other. Do I need to adjust amount as well?

My debut year....27 batches = 621 litres. Might get one more in just after Xmas.

I was thinking about this the other week. So I did 2 Extract Dr Smurtos Golden Ales in succession, 1 is with filtered water, the other with tap water. It is my first DSGA and the second one is in secondary now. I will let you know if I can tell any difference once I have tried them both.

I think I've got some flowers you beauty...

Gee Josh, you sound just like me. Last time I was in the Barossa I had a nice Bock at Seppeltsfield and I bought a dozen long necks of Victorville Ale at Greenock. Cheers.

Thanks for the replies on my "height" problem. I reckon I might try the adjustable trellis. Thanks for that APD. Is it OK if the trailing bine sits on the ground? The BYO article suggests that it would be OK. I might put a few nails into the sleepers and hang it in loops or something. I also...

Thanks M^B. I might have to do that. Only problem is it is the neighbours driveway the other side of the fence and that corner is close to the street (we live on a corner block). Not sure what the neighbours might think I'm growing. Not to worry. Also, they are all different varieties so I...
