Thanks for the heads up. I don't know how many times I've driven past and saw their logo with interest but never actually looked up what the place was. Seeing as they're only open at limited times I might drop in on my way home today and check it out.

I went to the one at North Strathfield the other day and picked up a Cantillon Grand Cru. I only dropped in briefly but from memory they had about 3 or 4 other Cantillon beers. Cheers

Hey schooey, my march pump is not in use until further notice if you'd like to borrow it. Let me know and I can have it to you tomorrow afternoon. cheers edit: Off'y tipped me, let me know if that doesn't work out and mines available.

Sat down to watch the cricket this afternoon and finally got a chance to get into some of the swap beers. First off I had Trent's AIPA: Pours a muddy amber colour with a nice off white head that lasted the entire glass, perfect carbonation. Has a really nice fresh citrus/piney/floral aroma...

Unfortunately the berliner picked up an infection (not the good type I wanted) and won't be in the swap.... I am updating my beer to a doppelbock. 1. n00ch - Doppelbock - Bottled 12/12/08 well aged but bottled today so leave to carb up - 9.1%ABV - Wyeast VSS Hella Bock. 2. Schooey - Schwarzbier...

I've had a chat to Mark and he would like it after 2:30 but not a terribly late one. So how do we think about being there around 2:30 - 3?

Ok so seeing as the swap day is only 2 days away what time is good for everyone attending? I'm thinking it'd be good to sort a a best general time so we don't have people waiting around for extended periods of time unnecessarily. Is a time after MHB's business hours say 2pm ok with all? edit -...

I'd really love to come and help out where possible but unfortunately have the entire weekend booked to do so much needed work I can't get out of... Its a real shame as they've always been great days in the past. I might have to see if I have something worth while in bottles to enter and might...

I said to myself I would put a tried and tested beer in this time but stuff it. My offering will be a Berliner Weisse. 1. n00ch - Berliner Weisse 2. Schooey - Schwarzbier 3. Tony - Bugger it, i will have something ready! Red Ale kind of thing or a Coffee Porter. 4. Leeboy - Imperial Porter 5...

I saw this the other week at warners and bought a 4 pack. I thought it was OK but nothing sensational. The only other Kolsch from Cologne I have had is the Reissdorf Kolsch and from memory I prefer that to the Sunner. They seemed to have gotten a heap of new beers in at warners. I also had a...

+1 It's quite hard to add to Trent and also Schooey's comments but I know for one us Newcastle brewers would be up **** creek without Marks Home Brew. I know the majority of my AG brew equipment has been bought from or made by Mark over the years. I also have no idea on his prices as I don't...

Yes reeeeeeeeally not impressed. Glad I didn't double decoct it like I was thinking of doing... I probably would have ended it there and then if I had! I've got a 2 litre starter of 3068 sitting ready for it as well. Oh well looks like it'll be take 2 next weekend after I go out and buy some...

Well it seems I'm a Sunday morning masher but not so much a sunday boiler.... Just mashed a weizen and on transferring the second runnings to the kettle I left it for a few minutes and came back to find the transfer hose had come off the kettle tap..... 55 litres of weizen all over the shed...

Hi Ryan, I can't see any reason why you can't jump aboard. Add your name to the list and you're in. Sorry I should have posted Marks shop details previously. It can be found at 18 Maitland Rd Islington NSW 2296. Cheers

Howdy fellow HAG brewers, Well looks like all the other case swaps have started but nothing on the HAG front as yet. So here it is the official HAG Xmas case swap for 2008! Rules are as usual and fingers crossed we will have 28 brewers submitting 28 of the finest beers. Mark has generously...

Nah mate haven't yet. Planned to yesterday but I've been told I have 50 other things to tile, paint and fix around the house more important then brewing :( Grain is there cracked and ready so fingers crossed it goes down tomorrow and when its done Ill be bottling a few and Ill swing some your...

Looks like we are both brewing out of "Brew Classic European Beers at Home" WWWH I'm putting down their Schneider Weisse clone over the long weekend some time in tune with this warm weather: Batch Size: 45.00 L Ingredients: ------------ Amount Item...

Well finally got around to starting the case beers. First off was onescooter's Schwarzbier. Pours a very dark brown colour with a large persistent off white head. Lovely toffee aroma with some background roast, it might be because its a bit cold or that my nose it's too great at the moment but...

I haven't tried any of the swap beers yet but have just fridged a few to try tonight. I did try the smoked pale again after the swap last weekend and being a sucker for smoked beers I enjoyed it. I like the citrus hop aromas and flavours and once the smoke has died down a bit the underlying...

I've been thinking about doing this for some time so I'm keen to get in on it also. Oh and Tony have you tried the health food shop in Pender Place in Maitland? Cheers
