    Got The Sack From Work By Visiting Aussie Home Brewer Forum

    That sux big time. I spend most of my lunchtimes on one forum or another. So long as any website is not offensive or chews up significant bandwidth, I reallly cant understand why discussion forums would be blocked. Employee moral goes a long way. If AHB were blocked at my work, I'd kick up a...

    That's some pretty imressive electronics. My limits are single sided, thru mount components. I'm maxed out trying to program PICAXE micro's. Good job.

    Sourcing Brew Gear On Hard Rubbish Day Is Theft?

    Exactly what I was going to say. Growing up in Melbourne, seem typical of Victorian police. I don't think much of the commity has respect for police in this day and age. You certainly can't rely on them to the right thing! I was traveling in traffic at the speed limit (90) last week and soon...

    Sourcing Brew Gear On Hard Rubbish Day Is Theft?

    I assume it's because the council effectively profits from teh pick up. They take all the recycable material and sell it themselves for scrap. I see guys with trucks / trailers picking up all the steel around the traps. I assume they then take it to the scrap yard for considereable profit...

    Broo Premium Lager - New In The Bottlo

    It's a shame that their trying to market the product as a premium lager style beer, when really the bottle lable design and the beer itself are in fact rather bland. I'm all for supporting small Aussie companies trying to make a beer product that stands out above the rest. Especially someone...

    To Tig Or To Mig?

    Definately don't buy a gasless mig. They're cheap for a reason. Gasless wire is expensive compared to solid wire and the weld quality is sub standard to what is acheived using sheilded welding methods. I've used my gasless mig to build stuff in mild steel where I didn't mind about the...

    Well Done Shawn From Murray's

    Murray's is for sure an awesome brewery. Working just down the road it's great to head up at lunch time for a quick tap sample and a growler top up of Nirvana and Whale Ale. Spartacus was pretty good, I heard that they only brew enough for a couple of kegs and it sold out in a weekend. I'm...

    Tap , Cap And Go.

    Murray's brewery sells tap beer in growlers this way. It's just up the road from work. I've brought a few growlers and take them in every now and then for a fill up of my choice. More common I get the Nirvana Pale ale and the Punch N' Judy or Whale Ale. Murrays' say that it's good for 7...

    Cluster Hop Seeds In My Beer

    Fair go GB, I'm an engineer, and I weld. :P Back on topic, I didn't think the female hop flowers had seeds? I planted a cluster hop rhizome this year too, currently growing into a jungle. Wonder if I'll get seeds in the flowers too?

    Byo Magazine - Has This Month's Arrived? Thread

    I subscribed this time last year. When I checked my credit card statement I think the transaction was just over $47 AU. I re-subscribed at the beginning of October and the transaction on my credit card statement this time was closer to $47AU. I think that's pretty good value. The magazine...

    Ghetto Alcopops

    The wash itself smells and tastes horible. You will have fusil oils and higher alcohols which carbon filtration won't remove. Ofcourse distillation is not permitted. However, a 20% wash that's been thru a reflux apparatus and had the "heads" and 'tails" removed is sweet smelling and...

    How Do People Dispose Of Cleaning Fluids?

    James Spencer of www.basicbrewingradio.com once interviewed the head guy at Five Star Chemicals the maker of StarSan. He indicated that Starsan which has lost it's effectiveness (gone cloudy, and/or Ph greater than 4) is actualy a good garden fertilizer (in moderation). He said that a customer...
