Hi All, me and the missus are moving out of our place to go travelling for a while and putting our stuff into storage, so I need to get rid of a bunch of stuff thats not worth holding onto. So the following stuff needs a home: around 100 pop-top stubbies, various brands, all cleaned and...

Tonight I'm planning on putting down a tin of the Malt Shovel Oatmeal stout, but would like to give it a little extra body and head. I thought about adding a bit of either maltodextrin or lactose (I have a bit of both lying around). Which will likely give the best result and how much would be...

I'm about to lay down my second batch of ESB Bavarian Lager (the 3kg tin) and was wondering if there are any simple tweaks that I can give it to enhance it a little. The last one came out fantastic, but was perhaps just a little on the light side. I made it up to 22.5L as per the recipe and...

Put down a can of ESB Bavarian this arvo, but had a bit of a mishap. Whilst topping up the carboy and eyeing the temperature it was looking a bit on the low side so I cucked in a bit of hot water out of my kettle. Unfortunately I chucked in a bit more than I intended and the temperature of the...

I'm just getting started with brewing, and have what I assume is the usual dillemma of not having enough bottles (apart from the first lot of PET bottles that come with the Coopers brewing kit). However my local pub can supply me with as many used stubbies as I need. I like the idea of using...
