Free fridge, very hopeful someone can pick it up this weekend (We are moving on Tuesday) I used it for fermenting and it worked fine, no proper temp control but ran on a timer for 15min every 2 hours except overnight kept the summer temps at bay. Located in Maribyrnong.

Ok so apparently I dont drink as much as I brew so I am scaling back my brewing quite a bit and will be selling a big chunk of my gear. I would like to sell it as a whole but if I have no luck after a while then I will sell it piece by piece so watch this space :) Setup includes 3 Fermentation...

My first AG is a couple of weeks away and I am seeking some advice. BIAB English bitter, below is the planned recipe. Spec malts and hops are from a beer I enjoyed, but they didnt say what the base malt was. I have Willamette as a Fuggles replacement. I dont want it massivly bitter but I felt...

Slowely picking up the bits and pieces I need to move into AG and I am just about there, so sometime in the next couple of weeks I should be looking to pickup my first lot of grain so I can get started. Looking at prices I see there is a massive discount for buying grain in 20kg+ lots. Now as...

With my switch to BIAB AG on the horizon (Im just short the burner and pot stand at this point) I have a question about splitting a batch. What I am looking to potentially do is split a full batch into 2 half batches in order to hop them differently (Trying to learn my hops and how to use them)...

Im moving into all grain in a few weeks and am planning on going with an english bitter as my first attempt. I recent had a bottle of "My wifes bitter" and I found it wasnt a bad drop so I was planning on giving it a go and then tweaking the recipe to suit my own tastes. Thankfully the bottle...

Im going to be moving into AG in the near future and need to purchse a burner. Initially Im planning on getting one of those 19l stockpots from Big W everyones talking about and doing 10L batches (Might do 2 sometimes to make a 23l batch) Ive got a handle on most of the gear I need but just...

Im heading over to the other side of the country and was hoping to take some of my home brew with me for people (and me) to drink while I am over there. However as someone pointed out the low pressure of an aircraft cargo hold may not be ideal for glass bottles. Anyone know if its safe to take...

Ok so I am looking forward to some of my future brews and I want to make a very thick malty dark ale/stout and looking for the best way to go. So far I am thinking of starting with a Morgans Iron Bark Dark Ale and using plenty of Dry dark malt, Maltodex and maybe some lactose. But Im guessing...

So my mate put a mountmellick dublin stout, 500g dex, 500g dark dme, 200g lactose. OG 42 Went to 20 in 2 days and stopped. He racked 3 days later and 24 hours later no change. Decided to bulk prime and bottle but as soon as the 170g of dextrose was stirred in it started going nuts. Frothed a...

Ok so I have been thinking of starting for a while as a couple of mates do it already. I have been reading here for a week or 2 (Great resource BTW) and finally got my first brew on yesterday. Morgans Dockside stout Safale s-04 yeast (Rehydrated, tested) 1kg Dry dark malt 200g Lactose Put 4...
