Hey, Does anyone have any ideas for regularly hiring a keg for an office space in melbourne? We've got the fridge, all dispensing gear and an empty keg sitting in the fridge. Just need the liquid gold in the keg. All the places I'm finding on google are going to cost more than buying slabs...

I'm planning on making a double batch of hefeweizen soon and was thinking of ways I can make them a little different from each other. The batches will be the same until run off into two separate cubes. So that leaves me with 15min (cube) and dry hop additions to play with. I plan to keep batch 1...

derp. Double post. Please ignore and delete.

I'm looking to make a stienbier (stone beer) for my 50th AG and was wondering where I could find the rocks to do it. I need some igneous rocks to do it and figure that granite is probably the most commonly used. They need to be about fist sized and I need about 10 of them. Btw, anyone...

Hi guys, I've been wanting to brew a good ESB for a while now and am never really satisfied with how the beers I've attempted turn out. What I would like is earthy and slight malty/caramel taste from the malt without being too sweet, but with a good balance. What I get i: a grainy bitter almost...

Will sell for a case of craft beer : ) Pickup Northcote Melbourne, this weekend! I don't have the dimensions, but I will go around to the house and get them if there is some interest. Also welcome to meet me there to check it out yourself, I can arrange to meet there this weekend. Pics

Hey guys, I'm selling two kegs I got from mybeershop a while ago that are now surplus to my needs. I stripped down the kegs and cleaned out bits and pieces $90 for both or $50 each. They aren't at my place so no pics atm, but can grab some for interested buyers.

Just kegged a batch, and when I went to clean the fermenter I got a really strong nail polish remover/Acetone smell coming from it. I've done a bit of research and most people are claiming the cause to be non-food safe plastic and high heat, which I doubt are the cause as it was done in a...

G'day Brewers. I'm looking to make a hop sock. I'm planning on something like this: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/albums/5/5178.picture When I went to bunnings they apparently didn't have paint strainers. I've used my old biab bag, lining that pot, which is good for utilization, however didn't...

I received a few wyeasts today and one of them is fully swollen. Should I split it now, considering I don't need to use it for a month or just leave it in its current state? I am going with the tony method of splitting, without the starter until I need it...

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting some of the 30ml sample tubes that Tony uses on the 'Splitting Wyeast Smack Pack' article. If anyone in the area is interested in 25 let me know and we can split them. I don't really need 50 of the things. Works out $15.40 each to split a pack of 50 from here...

I'm interested in putting all these recipes into beersmith, but I figure someone must have done it already? I've seen some thread on other sites but the links have been taken down by now. If someone has a collection of the recipes could they PM me and I'll give them my email. Thanks.

What beer related opportunities can I do in Queenstown New Zealand during my week stay? I'm thinking of ordering some cheap hops to where I'm staying, any ideas of some good sites/stores to order from? Any problems bringing them back into Melbourne (pellets)?

I'm pretty sure I've done everything to leave me with a low attenuation but this beer's FG is just too high. 80% GP 20% Crystal Single Infusion mash @ ~69C S-04 Yeast Fermenting at 18C OG - 1.050 SG @ 3Days - 1.024 SG @ 6Days - 1.024 I know it may take a few days and knock off a point or...

I have called around most coles, safeways and kmarts in the area and the ones that still sell the Coopers kits don't seem to sell the ginger beer. Has anyone seen one around lately in Melbourne northeast? I'm in Northcote. Thanks. This is the one I'm after...

I'm currently looking into fitting out my HLT and I've recently learned to weld and have access to a tig welder. I'm wondering what the best way to go about putting it all together are? Where can I buy threaded female steel pipe? How to cut a hole in the HLT before welding? I'm thinking a...

Hey guys, I've been brewing for a while now. Started on the stove, then larger BIAB, 2V and now 3V system. This is the current rig: I've decided I'm sick of having shit everywhere on brew day so I'm planning on building a brewing frame to store it all on. Its's going to be a 2 tier system, one...

Hi guys, I'm a bit confused about how to compare burners, regulators and how to compare the required heat for a certain boil volume. As well as gas used ect. For eg, the burner I'm looking at does 8.5 kw. The boils Im doing are around 30L. What type of regulator would I need? Would I be able to...

I made up a starter of Wyeast 1469 from half a pack I got a while ago. At the time I split the pack into two, one in a starter for then and one into a sterilised jar. I've stepped up the one from the jar, into a 500ml then 1L starter and have a good amount of yeast to pitch. However just then I...

I'm looking to build a brew frame in the near future: I've done some calculations and I'll need about 14m length give or take. I'm looking to do it on the cheap too. What materials do most people use? Alu? Steel? Square hollow sections or Angled pieces? Where would you recommend I acquire this...
