Sorry about the delay pensioner no time now I do not work Tooheys, Cascade, Coopers and a whole lot of re branded Supermarket types

Hmm! Just add water and stir. Sorry could not help it. Why add anything. made correctly they compare with the best. I always ferment with Dextrose. I have added Malt, steeped grains and added corn syrup at odd times and have come to the conclusion that the kit has been formulated by brewing...

I have used plent of Coles kits plus Woolies and Franklins. Currently have Coles lager in my Tad bottles. I have a draught to ferment next. I have tried many different makes but if you stick to a proven method the results are great. Beer does not achieve its best untill at least 3 months but...

In winter I dangle a fish tank heater in the brew. I have done so for 30 winters. I think it helps stir the brew and as it sits below the C02 blanket it stays hygenic. Makes for a fast ferment. Helps me get it in the secondary for settling prior to filling the Tad bottles now. Never had a...

I have been using kits for over 20 years. In fact since they first appeared in the supermarket shelves. I have the simplest method that always gives me great beer. I fill a saucepan with 2 litres of water and place the kit can, label removed and washed into the saucepan to warm up. Whilst the...

Checkout Finewhip 36 boxes for $199 = $5.50/box I am working on an expanding pouch for the TAD, Party Pig style. If this works it will go over well. May need a slightly different inlet tube however. Here is another idea:- Drill a empty soda cartridge at the bottom and solder in a Schroda valve...

I have now completed two Cider brews each using just a supermarket 2 litre juice non preservative. I used a Aussie invention OZtops I think made in the US as EZ tops. Simple, Poured juice into a 2 litre Pete Coke bottle less 1/2 cup for head space added a sprinkle of yeast added a 40psi top and...

I believe the beer a person enjoys can only be appreciated by them. I like a Bitter and strong malty flavoured beers aged or not whereas a friend of mine swears by the Carona style which tastes wish washy to me. He does not like my preference. All beer IMHO should have some aging. I use the 1 2...

I have had beer in bottles for up to 14 months. Darker beers seem to age better. Like others have noticed the bitterness does reduce with age and all beers do tend to become more mellow much as a wine does with age. I think about 3 months is about optimum. My scale of drinkability is from 3...

I am new to this forum and hoping to find other TAD users. I considered using a full keg system but have gone for the mini keg route. Mind you it has cost about the same as setting up a full keg system. I have 12 x 6 litre Bottles and 3 dispensing heads. I have used the system on a Coopers...
