hi guys, I've put some stuff on ebay, ending today: Bar fridge with fermenter: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140811603906?ss...9#ht_500wt_1415 Bottle tree and bottle sanitiser: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140811595788?ss...9#ht_528wt_1401 Bottle capper...

My first attempt at multi-step mashing regime after reading Zwickel's article; http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/blog...hp?showentry=15 10% Munich II 90% Ale Malt 25 IBU @60 min Northern Brewer 10 IBU @60 min Saaz Or to be more precise, the last couple of times I've tried making lagers...

hi guys, I wanted to do a starch conversion test today for the first time. Sharing it here in case there are others who haven't tried it either. I use Iodophor no-rinse sanitiser so doing the starch conversion test with that after reading about it...

Guess what I am doing tomorrow: A year ago I got some advice from ThirstyBoy and tried brewing a lager. Horrible failure, tasted of bananas and unclear as fruit juice. Sound advice, bad brewer :) Couple of weeks ago I gathered enough courage to try this "lager brewing thing" again...

You don't know what to ask for this Christmas? The wife keeps nagging and you don't have any meaningful suggestions other than "Good Kids" and "No More Guy Sebastian CDs"? Let me introduce the BeerBelly! A pouch you wear under your shirt, making it look like you have a beer belly. You fill...

Hi, My (far) prettier half asked what I wanted for Christmas. After a bit of back and forth I remember someone on here saying something about the BeerMasons club. So I said that, just to want something other than good kids this year. I got an email at work today, saying "your order is shipped...

hi all going to Vanuatu next week, are there any nice local beers to try? Any advice on where to find a decent beer, any special tourist thing to do etc will also be appreciated. (by me, my prettier half may not agree to the pub part ;) ) thanks Bjorn

Every now and then I get the odd email from someone in Africa wanting to share with me a part of X trillion dollars if I could only send them my bank details :D Last week I got one from "DHL Express Postage desk" where someone had sent me a bankier check for 400 million dollars or something...

Hi, does this FG sounds right? I brewed a mild a while ago that was only 2,2% before bottle conditioning. I really liked the taste of it but it was a bit on the thin side even for a light beer :D This time I changed up little bit to up OG to 1.038. Still a light beer but hopefully not so...

http://pinchgutbrewing.com.au/ My apologies if this has been covered already, haven't done a search for it ;) I heard that Gerard left Paddy's Brewery some time ago. Does he now run the Pinchgut brewery? Has anyone tasted the beers? sounds like a taste trip is in order! Bjorn

Finally got around to brew a beer again, first time since... April maybe? anyway, wanted to brew something and get back into it. Got a new fridge after moving (thanks Canon1ball !) and a new fermenter to fit the smaller fridge. My trusty old Coopers fermenter was a bit too wide so a new one...

I've put my 60 Litre fermenter on ebay, no room in my smaller fridge :) http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...T#ht_500wt_1156

I am moving and need to get rid of my fermenting fridge. It's a "normal kitchen size" fridge with freezer. I had to take out all the shelves from the door to fit my 60 litres fermenter but now at least both a standard size or a bigger 60 litre fermenter fit. Pickup from Brighton-le-sands by...

Hi all, did a search for Timothy Taylor's Dark Mild but got no hits so thought I'd ask in a thread here: Have anyone tried the Timothy Taylor's Dark Mild? http://www.timothytaylor.co.uk/OurProducts_DarkMild.aspx I've got a Mild in the fermenter at the moment and wouldn;t mind doing another...

filtered my rice lager yesterday and thought I'd share a picture of the "before" and "after". I usually bottle clear beer, but this rice lager was horribly unclear, like pineapple juice or something. After racking to cube I lagered it for just over a month. Cold enough that after filtering...

hi all, I really enjoy the Stone & Wood Draught, now renamed to Pacific Ale after what I understand. Brendan of the NBBC is the expert cloner and he makes a cracker clone of this one, fresh and hoppy and an awesome beer. I got some tips from him about the hopping regime and incorporated that...

Hi, been reading with interest about top cropping yeasts and how this is better than bottling what's left in the primary after racking to secondary. that if top-cropping it's all "A team" and no trub/dead yeast. I have a rice lager fermenting in the fridge at 10 degrees, it's been in there for...

Hi, just opened the first test bottle of my latest attempt at a full-bodied mid-strength beer. It's only been 12 days in the bottle, but so far it is looking good! The recipe was very simple: Volume 35 litres OG: 1.034 FG: 1.010 Pilsner malt 49% 3.00 kg Munich malt 28% 1.73 kg...

You guys seem to be getting more carbonation from these drops than I do. I didn't want to hijack this thread since my question is a little different http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...mp;#entry735386 so started a new one: I usually use carbonation drops, either coopers from BigW...

Hi all, bought a ESB Australian Draught kit today, when stopping by Dave's Homebrew. I came with S-04 english ale yeast. I see it gets great reviews at the hb kit reviews I did a bit of a search on here but didn't find a lot of comments on it. Is there anyone on here who has tried it and...
