Howdy brewers. I've got a heap of glass sample jars (roughly 100) for yeast storage that are collecting too much dust in my shed. I've also got a 13m roll of Aircon pair coil copper pipe (1/2" - 1/4") that is excess to requirement (one end has been uncapped for 8+ years so it's unsuitable for...

Hi all, I have a couple of Wyeasts that have been haunting me for a while that need to go but will offer them here before the bin. They may still be viable, they may not. 1 x 1728 Scottish Ale 16 Nov 2011 1 x 2035 American Lager 26 Jan 2012 PM me for collection details :-) Cheers!!

Interesting but no thanks... http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/05/happy-hour-this-beer-gadget-gave-me-perfect-head/

This Gizmodo Article gives a link to a great graphic. Hmmmm an A0 of this would work well on my shed wall :) Snip: Data Looks Dope’s Max Einstein made this beautiful chart that shows what the top 100 tasting beers in the world are (according to BeerAdvocate.com). You won’t find (my favourite)...

This entrepreneur didn't quite work through his legal obligations with his little backyard operation :D. Another news linky.

Hi Brewers, I came across this article from Gizmodo which was reasonably penned considering the website it came from. A good insight into hop development and a good simple overview of a small commercial brewery. Easy reading and an interesting story :-) Cheers and beers !

Hi all, Having a shed purge and some unwanted bits and pieces need to go to better homes. Feel free to grab in exchange for a bottle of your hard efforts :-) 50 - 80 Glass and Polycarb Test Tubes approx 10-20mL unused. Yeast Harvesting dreams are over for me. Approx 40 Champagne Bottles -...

Hi All, My mate is cleaning out his shed and has a single door glass front fridge to give away. His fridgy mate has a compressor ready to go but it's a project that has been 'in progress' for the past 2 years and is no closer to being resolved so it is off to the Tip on Thursday. It is possible...

Flavour of the month subject :-) Some good points made. http://www.choice.com.au/reviews-and-tests/food-and-health/food-and-drink/alcohol/craft-beer.aspx

The competition watchdog is investigating whether contracts between major beer companies and pubs are unfairly blocking smaller brewers from the market. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has sent a letter to small brewers asking if "certain conduct may be affecting...

The tech detail in what has happened is beyond me but the subject matter is certainly interesting :)

Hi all, One for the Sandgropers. I was given some dusty old Grolsch (and other euro) 500ml Swing tops as well as a couple of 1.5L jobbies as well. Free to a good home :-) Cheers Doug

Hi guys, I have a 252 litre Westinghouse Fridge (no freezer) with a hard wired digital temperature controller. With some modification it will fit 4 corny kegs (210mm diameter units). It has been running without a hitch for the past 5 years but has been put out to pasture for a fridge freezer...

I haven't seen it yet but I have found it available here and there :ph34r: Spiel for the show: Did you know that Beer was critical to the birth of civilization? That?s right Beer. Scientists and historians line up to tell the amazing, untold story of how beer helped create maths, poetry...

Chatting to a mate today who worked at a launch of Guinness Black Lager. Alas there was very little info about the product. Ratebeer linky for overseas release. Wikipedia info on same release. Ready to be underwhelmed but it might be better than the other generic offerings plastered around the...

Hi chaps, I was heading off to sunny Canberra on Sunday the 27th for a couple of weeks with work and was intending to spend some of my spare time at the Wig and Pen. Is there anywhere else worthy of a visit within the confines of public transport or a reasonable cab fare from Braddon ? I would...

Hi all, I brewed a Saison about 18 months ago which stuck like a good Saison should <_< and I split the batch and innoculated it with the dregs from a couple of Orval bottles. OG 1053 Still stuck at 1028 still after 5 months. Added Orval Dregs 13 months later 1000 :icon_cheers: Tastes...

G'day chaps, I scored an old tuckerbox chest freezer which should fit a couple of kegs in there. It's pretty old and rough but apparently works well. It's located in Bibra Lake. I'd keep it myself but I already have 3 fridges and a freezer :ph34r: . First PM gets it :-) Cheers Doug

Hi all, A bit of a long shot but it's worth asking. I purchased a medical grade thermometer a couple of years ago but have struggled to find a suitable temp probe. Does anyone have a T type thermocouple I could borrow to test and confirm it's usability ? Cheers Doug PS I would be happy to pay...
