My new job has me out of Perth quite often. Unfortunately for the last 3 months I have been away on the second monday of the month. And I'm flying to Darwin on Sunday. Oh well, maybe next month.......

Hi. Can anyone in the Bayswater (WA) area please help us out? Our hop order didn't turn up so we need some bittering hops today for a double size brew. It's a wheat beer so anything will be OK. 50g should be more than enough. Thanks Ben

Bag & Tag! I think I got all of the AG packs. Did anyone get a shot of the extract packs? Cheers Ben

This is my first try at lemonade. I was inspired by Guest Lurker's recipe on his web page. I am hoping it will ferment to about 1.012 - not too dry, not too sweet. GL used Champagne yeast, which would probably be too dry for my taste. I intend to keg my half but my dad will bottle his. The...

From what I have read, the Curacao orange was derived from the Seville, but other sources suggest the Valencia.. I expect the flavour to be different, but I don't think I will be able to get Curacao here. It should still make an interesting brew. I'll check out Limes.

Heya. Anyone know of a source of Seville or Bitter Oranges? I noticed my dad's lemon and mandarin trees were totally overloaded with fruit. It got me thinking that any bitter orange orchards or backyard Seville orange trees might be in the same state. I want to dry some peel. BTW me & dad...

I emailed Kirin and they sent me this spec sheet for the Pilsner Malt. They were very keen to help out. Cheers Ben

Yes, I struggle to see what they were trying to achieve with this test. Still, I like their other comparisons. When there is so much sh!t on the market, they give you a starting point and some useful advice on how to approach things. They are all about the consumer, not the connoiseur.

More: Do women like different beers from men? It seems not. Our two female experts told us they considered and tasted the beers in the same way as the men, and their scores didnt stand out as different. As well, our lay panel was 50% female and statistically their overall scores were no...

VB and New did not win the taste test. They were ranked higher than many more expensive brews. Here are the recommendations from the test on the Choice website: These are the beers the experts gave the highest marks to. They’re a mix of two lagers, a pilsner, two ales and a stout, and they...

I'd buy 50kg of Kirin Malt and brew 281L of beer that is full strength and soooo much better than Visitors Beer! Or maybe 450L of mid strength :chug:

At 48.9 c/l it costs me about $9 to fill my own. :ph34r: Someone is making a shirtload of money filling these things.

This is my first post in this thread, but I will definitely take a hose and postage if available. I was given a reg very similar to that but with an outlet pressure guage. Thanks Ben

Does anyone have the spec sheet for the Kirin LAGER malt from a couple of buys ago? I need the TSN, but I can work that out from the total nitrogen and the soluable Nitrogen percentages. Thanks Ben

I will take 2kg - or more if it helps the buy. Thanks Ben

I made two brews with this on Saturday. One was a wheat beer and the other a pale ale. The pale had >95% Kirin and it stuck like a *******. I had to add rice hulls and underlet some really hot water to get it to flow. Even the second runnings were slow. Funny thing is, the wheat with just...
