I gotta be honest, the price of beer here was the main thing that got me into brewing when I moved over from the UK. I don't think I would've ever got off my arse and learned how to do it myself when there was Landlord for two pound fifty a pint at my local. So that's a plus, and I also do some...

Has anyone seen a bottle of this Aldi 18yr old single malt in the wild? http://www.executivestyle.com.au/aldi-selling-australias-cheapest-18yearold-single-malt-scotch-at-70-gp3lbu

I add the late hops to the cube, which seems roughly equivalent to a 10-15min addition. If I'm doing an IPA or something I'll add hops at flameout as well, and chuck the filled cube in the rainwater butt. Doing this I reckon makes the cube hops more like 5-10min additions. I haven't tried...

Alright **** it, put me down for a sack of pearl too.

72c seems a little high to me for a 60min rest? It'll probably be fine though, it'll definitely have plenty of body.

Well here it is.. the big one.. the BIG discounted grain TF its a few months after best before date as already indicated.. Thomas Fawcett Floor Malted Pearl A floor-malted barley malt from a single barley variety (Pearl), and produced by a centuries-old, family-owned maltster. Fawcett's...

So I tried this when I was down at the moondog brewery last night. The previous jukebox hero was ok I thought, but this one really blew me away. Then the bar chick Renee told me they used 30g/L of hops in this. 30g/L!!!! At the moment it's only available on tap at the brewery, but it's well...

Picked up a dozen of these from the Abbotsford Aldi today. Going down nicely so far!

Yup I'm in Abbotsford, I've only got MO at the moment but you're welcome to 3kg of it. I'll PM you my number.

Ok so I bought a new cube from Kmart to replace the old willow one I'm using as a secondary fermenter, and it's not very good. The plastic feels flimsy, and getting the lid to seal when the cube is full of hot wort is an ordeal. I had a look online and it doesn't look like Rays sells the willow...

My favourite that I make regularly is a rye pale ale with citra and mosiac, you can't go wrong with rye and citra really. I've got an English IPA with target and styrian G that's drinking really well now too.

The ALDI in Abbotsford has 500ml dimpled beer mugs $3 for 2 at the moment.

Yeah I'm not sure whether to be surprised that she found a surgeon who'd do that to her or surprised that she found 50 who wouldn't.

Oh cool, I'm studying at Monash at the moment. I'm postgrad, so I don't make it down that often, but anyhow I've liked your FB page. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

Yup if you google "overnight mashing" there's quite a few people who seem to think it's a good idea. Never tried it myself tho.

This would be such a good thing for microbrewers, it'd be amazing.
