    For Sale Brisbane 3L Erlenmeyer and Stir Plate

    As we're making some changes that will involve me not being around to brew for a year or two, I'm selling off the leftovers of the brewery. For sale is my 3L Erlenmeyer flask (less than a year old) and home made stir plate. It gets a steady whirlpool going that doesn't overdo it, so I can get...

    FS: Capper Brisbane

    These are both for sale. They're not mine, I'm selling them for someone else getting out of the game due to no time. Keggle - legally acquired from my understanding, with welded ball valve tap fitted. Works pretty well from what I have seen on a brew day. $50. IMG_20171011_070318 by Lord...

    The great clean out continues. I have glass bottles to giveaway (mostly crown, some screwies) and plastic MJ bottles (about 40 odd) to giveaway. Located at Ferny Grove. PM me, first in, best dressed.

    BNE: Free: Test Tubes (new), Bottles, other stuff

    We are moving house and Mrs Goomba has kindly requested that all non-essential, non-core brewing paraphernalia be vacated from the various places in that big room that the car lives in. So I thought I'd chuck it all up here for free. It's not anything major, but you might be a brewer starting...

    Shanghai Craft (and regular) Beer

    So we hopped on a plane with a handful of children to Shanghai for 3 weeks. It wasn't a beer trip, but we kinda did some beer related stuff because we could. So I thought I'd give a quick few photos and thoughts about my (beer) time in Shanghai: Craft beer scene in Shanghai is significantly...

    Keg dispensing issue

    Okay, so my kegs aren't dispensing correctly. I've a Kk3, so it's pretty stock. In order to address this issue, I've done the following: Upped pressure from micromatic reg Tested PRV to see if kegs are pressurised (they are) Pulled apart all taps and cleaned. Tested issues with plastic tap...

    Brisbane Craft Bottle Shops - the definitive list

    I hope. Preamble - I didn't know about one until my ex-Dan Murphy's employee neighbour who rates Trolley Red Ale as the best craft beer in the universe told me that there was a craft bottle-o I didn't know of in the area. I found this disturbing, so thought I'd compile the definitive AHB list...

    Cheapest adjunct

    Given, as homebrewers, we are either cheap, were cheap (and that's why we got into this hobby), or are assumed to be cheap, I thought I'd see how cheap we can be. Rice is a great adjunct. I actually like it in some commercial varieties (Tsingtao white from Asian countries I love), and obviously...

    Wyeast 3724 vs WLP565

    Discuss. Seriously, though. I love 3724, finally brewed a Saison I was happy with. Love the dry, tart, almost lemony esters and phenoly profile of it. After trying all the dried equivalents, I've found the yeast I love. Trouble is that is a toll roaded 60km round trip to obtain some. Or...

    Free: Bottles: BNE

    I've been kegging for close to a year now, and in the mean time, some of my bottles have been fornicating and I have more bottles than I think I should have. So I'm giving some away. Most are pick axe XXXX old style crown seals and some Coopers crownies - I reckon about 60 or so. I also have...

    Keg Blending

    Not sure where to put this, so here it is. After seeing bits of mentions about keg blending in other topics, status updates and stuff like that, I thought I'd post a discussion about it. The obvious answer as to 'why' appears to be 'because I have too many half full kegs and I need to clear...

    Muddy Pints from Keg

    I've been avoiding asking this question, as I thought I'd solve it myself. I've had kegs in the past, and this hasn't been a major drama. The beers (specifically IPAs) that I am pouring from the keg are muddy/opaque. Now I'm used to a level of hop haze and opaqueness, but this is more a muddy...

    WTB: BNE : Stir bar > 1inch

    So my first stir plate can't sustain a stir in a 3L erlenmeyer flask. So looking for something bigger.

    No Chill IPA - Staggered IBU

    Finally got around to brewing my house AIPA, which is SWMBO favourite. Trouble is, as I've mentioned on other topics, I don't reckon the 'hoppiness' qualitative factor is quite there, but the bitterness seems to be higher (perceived, I know) than is typical for this recipe (which is very much...

    Mangrove Jacks M42 New World Strong Ale Yeast

    A bit of background on this, I actually intended to use the M44 in a fairly bog standard AIPA, nothing extravagant or off the charts hop wise, body wise or bitterness wise. Owing to some non-adjusted water, and a brand new urn I'm still getting used to, I ended up with woefully low efficiency...

    WTB: BNE: Cheap Crappy 3 tap font

    Thought I'd chuck this out there. I have a kegerator purchased 2nd hand and it's in pretty good nick. But the font is "chrome" and the "chrome" is pitted on the tower and rusty at the bottom. Plus it's a 2 tap font, and I want 3. Ideally I'd like to replace it with a really nice good one in...

    FS: BNE: 4 Ball Lock Kegs

    Hi guys, In the process of acquiring all the bits and pieces needed for my new kegging system, I have ended up with 4 more kegs than I will (realistically) use. I don't brew at the rate to fill 7 kegs and don't have the space to keep them either. So 4 have to go, preferably before SWMBO pops...

    M44 Mangrove Jacks

    I have grabbed a few different packs of Mangrove Jack yeast to try out. And as I get them bottled and tested, I'll write a review or some information as I find it. This is the worst review, in the sense I brewed ambient in Qld (even in winter inside, this is a problem). I have learned not to...

    WTB: BNE: Kegerator (sort of)

    This is a sort of WTB post. Not sort of because I dunno if I want to buy a kegerator - that's sorted, it's my anniversary present, SWMBO approved, fan-freaking-tastic. This is a sort of post, because I've seen these on keg king They're pretty good. Intertap, for better or worse and an all in...
