So, I finally saved some coin and spent some time with a few fellow brewers at Ballarat's new microbrewery, Cubby Haus Brewing: http://www.cubbyhausbrewing.com.au First, I'd like to say how happy I am that Ballarat has a no-bullshit, fair dinkum microbrewery dedicated to producing a small...

So, me and Billygoat and Big Lou are keen to find an arvo in October to work our way through the newly opened Cubby Haus brewing, then on to the Mallow and Hop Temple (in whatever order). I believe we should also kick the day off at Red Duck just so someone can (try to) prove to me that they...

Gday - of course I'm here early in the week and the closest breweries are closed until Thursday - any where within coo-ee I can get a decent pint and maybe a decent feed?

Hello water gurus. If I am reading p. 427 of Palmer and Kaminski's "Water" correctly, then I need to use 9mg/l of potassium metabisulfite to treat water that has 3mg/l of chloramine in it? I've been advised by the water authority that it leaves the plant at that rate and is reduced down to...

If you are in the Ballarat region and want bulk grain then contact Russell at the Ballarat Home Brew Shop asap as he is co-ordinating a bulk buy. Orders need to be in and paid by Aug 20th and pickup on Aug 27th. He is also doing 1kg hop packs. I, for one, am interested in splits.

It's about that time of year, and rather than do it all by private message I'll put it up here in case there are other potential new Ballarat brewers who might be keen to be involved. Saturday 10th September at my place in Ballarat East. Kick off around 4pm, I'll serve some slow cooked charcoal...

Gday all: this bloke is Ballarat based, no shop front but has delivered free of charge (so far at least). No affiliation, just letting local brewers know. If you've got stories/ratings let us know. http://www.thekeggingcompany.com.au/about-us/

Drank it, liked it, was red enough. Some details here: http://craftypint.com/news/1117/Who_Brews_The_Other_Castlemaine_Beers#.Vjl0DI3c4Jc.facebook

Gday. My back and I are sick of my 6kg Keg King gas cylinder. Anyone have a 2.6kg KK cylinder they would swap with me? Cheers.

It happens at my place... PM for details.

So...hit 5 breweries across the SW of WA this last Thursday. Had a great time, sampled the lion share of the beers, but due to my own tastes and brewing-related-educational purposes I stuck mostly to sessional beers - pilsners, pale ales, alts, kolsch, with a sprinkle of darker beers and IPAS...

Gday, due to the ridiculous price of luggage, I am headed over to WA for a few weeks soon and will only take my reels (well, I'll take a few clothes probably also). The plan is to pick up some rods in Cash Converters while I'm there and leave them over there at my rello's place. Simple...

So - whole new setup, worked out the theory, but of course the practice was a bit different. Anyway - I was single vessel (keggle) BIAB for ages and very happy with the results but only marginally happy with the output/leftovers etc etc etc. Slowly, with the greatest help from Billygoat and...

...I posted in the Ballarat and Region Craftbrewers bit, but should probably post here as well. No postage - pick up/short range delivery only. **PM me for definite prices/details as I am open to a good deal/bargain - I am after a benchtop RO water system but not super desperate to sell the...

Hi all, PM me (Ballarat region pick-up/drop-off only) if interested in: 1x bottle tree. 3x 19L kegs, one corny type, the other two are the ones that Wayne at BHS in Ripon street cleaned up. 1x brand new, still in box Keg King 9L keg (will be asking for the full bulk buy price for this)...

Anyone been in to check it out? Just up from the station. I slowed down and peeked in the door from the road but haven't been in yet.

Hi all, going to a conference end of October held at UNSW in Kensington. Are there any cheap(ish) places to stay around there? Any decent pubs? Cheers. :icon_cheers:

Firstly, I know there are hundreds of these threads. I have read, and even participated in many of them. Also apologies for the length of the thread - frustration will do that to a fella. But I am now at the point where I am ready to give up the hobby altogether. This will now be the 5th...

...so the weekend before this I will be drunk in Tasmania with some other brewers, with any luck the weekend after this I'll be drunk in Melbourne with some other brewers, so I figured why not get drunk in Ballarat in the middle (irregardless of other brewers)? Old fashioned Sunday catch up...

Due to a couple of non-BAR Ballarat brewers making their presence known I thought I'd make this 'public' (after already PM'ing and confirming the date with two of the non-BAR brewers)... This Sunday I will be doing a brewday for anyone who is interested in seeing just how easy AG can be at its...
