3 Cigweld gas regulators from Andale Beveridge systems. I have no idea how much these are worth, so make a reasonable offer. Based in Melbourne western suburbs 3027. Have not been used for a few years now, so I would recommend having them serviced.

I am selling the gear I started All Grain brewing with. The kit is a Esky converted with copper piping for use as a mash tun. A 40cm boil pot, A commercial burner and a home made copper cooling coil. Much loved and much used. But a Grainfather for my birthday means I can now pass this on. Based...

I have just made vienna lager with the Wyeast Munich 2308. I built a 2.3L starter and pitched but kept some aside for a fast ferment sample. The FF sample is now done and I have a pretty decent looking yeast cake in the jar and was wondering if there is any reason why I can't fridge this and use...

Two weeks ago I double brewed and no chilled a Kolsch. I also did a steam ale which i fermented for two weeks. The no chill was sitting in the shed which has been around 18-22. At the end of the mash I think I added geletin, I don't know why I added pre ferment, but think I must have added it...

So my daughter is having her 11 yo birthday party this weekend. Tonight she wanted to check that everything was ok in the party dress and shoe department. Suddenly, Drama-Rama, pre-teen trauma. The shoes do not fit. Looks like her feet grew from last weekend. So my wife says, "you need some...

I am sure this youtube has done the rounds here. But re-visiting again today had me enjoying is once again, so I thought I post the link for those that haven't seen it or would like to be reminded of those sessions in pubs where your fine tastes have changed the way you drink.

Found a old PC at work and pulled the fan and hard drive. Next step the box and switch.

That will stop the kids reaching for the top shelf in the shed.

I finally got round to checking my hydrometer today after just assuming it was accurate. If I am correct, then it looks like this reading of water at 20c is between 1.003 and 1.004 If I am reading that right, then factoring that .004 difference will help me when trying to work out my failure...

Been thinking about making a Belgian Pale Ale and popped into my local bottle shop. Picked up a bottle of La Trappe Isid'or and the owner gave me a free glass to drink out if. He told me that this was the 'only' way to drink this beer. Took it home and let it warm up a bit, about 10-12c and...

An interesting article on priming your stomach with dried yeast to somewhat counter the effects of the beer you are about to drink. I laughed at this, I can imagine sitting there popping another teaspoon of US-05 down before ordering the extra pint.

Going to invest in my first 25kg bag of pale ale grain for a base malt from Full Pint. But was also interested in getting some Munich in. If anyone in the west of Melbourne is keen to split a bag 25kg 3 ways of Weyermann Munich T1 I will add it to my Pale order. 1 x 9kg @ $2.20 /kg 2 x 8kg @...

Having run out quite a lot of AG in my chilly bin ( currently in NZ for hols) I tried my first boil in a bag. It was kind of a disaster due to my inability to work out where I should be measuring temperature from. So my question is; where is the best place to take a temp measure from? I have a...

Over in NZ at the moment and had dinner with friends. The discussion came round to home few and my friend gave me a challenge. To make a clone of his fav beer, John Smiths Extra Smooth. He gave me a couple of cans, with the nitrogen widget as homework. I dutifully began the experiment. Chilled...

Now that I have a brew fridge and fishtank pump I am keen to try my hand at brewing a German Lager style. Being a Pale Ale drinker I am usually brewing with the Safele S23 and so don't have much experience with the German style yeasts. I was looking for feedback on these two yeasts please...

Hi y'all. Bit of a lurker here, but I wanted to post to discuss hefeweizen brewing. I have never been a big German beer fan. Couple of months back I visited the Black Forest and Bavaria and my appreciation for a freshly made HefeWeizen went up many notches. I knew as soon as I had time, I wanted...

I have been building up my homebrew equipment. It seems to me that when ever I add something new to solve a brew issue I create a new one. So I bought a freezer and a temp control. Yeah, now I can brew all summer long. I am about to start my first AG, its an APA. Problem is I have a Scottish...
