Where in Sydney? Could be keen on some hops. Cheers, merry xmas

Brilliant thanks

Any chance there's still some of these left? I've been away from the brewing for a long time but keen to get back into it! Cheers

I don't use them, but I think the soda stream gas is pretty expensive for what you get - when I was looking into getting a soda stream unit, with the cost of the gas it worked out just as cheap to buy cola from the supermarket - they only gas up something like 30 to 50 litres of water before...

Got can of goo #3 going at the moment, so not at all advanced yet - a trip to the brew shop would be the best idea right now to get the right idea of what stuff to pick up to start doing some better brews.

Wouldn't that mean having to drink XXXX?

A follow up on this: Put the brew down on the 27th of July and today have bottled it. Ended up putting a coupel fo chilli's in, an extra couple of hundred grams of sliced ginger, and put in 1kg of dextrose and 1kg or raw sugar. Initially temps were not too warm - around 15 degrees. After a...

Thanks guys, will try to leave as much as I can untouched for summer drinking.

Hi all, first post here, have been reading for a little while now though. Firstly, I did do a search, but didn't find much of any use. So as the title puts it, how do I increase the alcohol percentage of a brew? I started to get into home brewing about 3 years ago, put down my first brew...
