    Catch Up??

    G'day folks. Long time no see. Anyone keen for a catch up in the next couple of months? I'm happy to host, although it's a bit out of town for most of you. (Myrniong) Plenty of room for a swag though. Otherwise, a Ballarat pub might be easier for most. Most of May and June Saturdays are clear...

    Brewers Around Thirroul?

    Any brewers in the Bulli, Thirroul, Austinmer etc. area like to share a beer with a like minded soul in the next week? I'll be visiting in laws, and may need a break ;) Send me a pm if interested. Cheers

    Truckwits

    Why is it that whenever there's a death at a level crossing, people jump up and down blaming the infrastructure, and not the dickhead who drove in front of the train? And, while I'm on the box, when are truckwits going to be held responsible for the power over life and death they command, mostly...

    Hop Plants?

    Howdy gang. I've got room to grow another 2 or 3 hops, so will any of you folk have any rhizomes to share or swap this spring? Richy said he will have some P.O.R. for me, and I already have Chinook, Cluster and Cascade in the ground. I'll do some reading to find out how to divide them if anyone...

    Ride On Mowers?

    G'day all. It's time to retire the 1978 model Ariens (I know, things don't seem to last these days, do they? hehe) Recommendations? From reading a few forums, it seem that Greenfields receive the fewest complaints. I'm going out to look at a few brands this week, so any reviews would be...

    Mill Gap For Biab?

    Yeah, I know it's been posted many times, but my memory's shot. So, instead of me searching, maybe some people who can be bothered, can tell me their opinion on the best gap setting for BIAB on a MM2? Cheers. P.S. for those compulsive repliers who are thinking of saying " it's been posted...

    Choosing A Printer?

    Hi All. Does anyone know of a reasonably priced home printer, that doesn't cost the earth for replacement ink cartridges? (teenagers in da house.) Our old Epson has given up the ghost (right after I'd bought a hundred bucks worth of ink for it). We have a Dell printer that came with our...

    Jomack Urns?

    I've been reading the various threads on BIAB in an urn, and shopping around, have found that Crown & Birko are a similar price (around $240+), but a 40 litre Jomack (made in Melbourne?) is $192. Has anyone used the Jomack urns? Cheers

    Idiot Proof Recipe?

    G'day blokes. I'm just trying to psych myself up for my first full sized AG. (BIAB) Still haven't gotten around to picking up a copy of "the bible", so have been looking at the recipe database on AHB. I've got a selection of ingredients, so if any of you would like to have a look at what I...

    European Beers And Food Night

    G'day boys, As I mentioned to a few of you at Billygoat's place on Sunday, my local pub often has a beer and food tasting night. Some are better than others ( the James Squire one was a cracker!!). They are usually held on a Wednesday night, which is crook if you have to work on Thursday...

    Fender Telecaster

    G'day All. Thought I'd use the wealth of knowledge in the brewing community to see if any one is a guitar expert. My son thinks he may have been ripped off in buying a "genuine" Fender telecaster on ebay. He doesn't really want to pull off the neck to check for dates/numbers, and wonders if...

    Temp Controllers (again)

    G'day all. Yet another question about TC's, this time, about sensor placement. I just took delivery of my STC 1000, and will be installing it in my fermenting box tomorrow. I've got a small upright freezer, about the size of a decent bar fridge, which I'll be using to (hopefully) keep my...

    Hops For Dark Ale?

    I would like to have a dabble with hops, probably just a "hop tea" or dry hopping a kit of Coopers Dark Ale. Any suggestions for hops? Looking through some recipe's, perhaps Fuggles? Styrian Goldings? POR? Cheers

    Bowls And Beer

    G'day folks. I've recently started trying to teach myself lawnbowls, and could use all the help I can get! If anyone in the melbourne western suburbs/bacchus marsh/ballarat areas want to combine bowling and homebrew, let me know. Also, if anyone wants to give some online advice/ tips, feel...

    Looking For A Recipe For Coopers Pale Ale

    G'day all. I've just read a great article by Enerjex (http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/index.php?autocom=ineo&showarticle=40) on harvesting Coopers Yeast. I'm wondering if anyone has a K&K recipe for Pale Ale using said yeast? There's probably one here somewhere, so I'll keep looking...

    Removing Black Japan

    Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has some ideas for removing Black Japan stain from floorboards? I've tried sanding (gets hot, and clogs) angle grinder with sanding pad (somewhat effective, but still clogs pad, and damages floor) Metho (no good) Turps (no good) Paint stripper (works a bit...

    Editing Forum Posts?

    G'day. For some reason, I can't seem to edit my forum posts by moving the cursor. If I find a mistake, I have to backspace and delete all the text until I get back to the place, then start again. I also cant seem to delete, or move highlighted text. Does everyone have this problem, or is it just...

    Frothy Mess!

    G'day all, I've been brewing for a long time, but still haven't found a solution to the occasional brew bubbling out through the airlock, and making a hell of a mess on the bench. Not to mention the sad loss of a few glasses, and probably some of the flavour as well. It mostly seems to...

    Flat Beer

    G'day All. Ijust discovered this site, and thought I'd try it out. I've been brewing for 17 years, and have notched up 303 brews, so I thought I knew what I was doing! I'v just had a year or so off brewing, but when I recently started up again, my first couple of batches have been flat as a...
