Cheers, Thanks so much for the information, Alchomist and laxation. More than I could have expected. I'd be interested in hearing from Neil. I know the families who took it over, but as the book says, they didn't operate it for long after the transfer from the original owner.

Hi all, I'm doing some research into a Brewery which operated in my home town, Balranald NSW, in the late 1800's. I have a feeling that it may be included in the book "The Breweries of Australia" by Keith M Deutsher. Does anyone here have a copy? I was wondering if someone could take a...

Did anyone work out who the Northside Brewers were?

And they tasted the beer, and it was good. Then they said, come fourth, my son. And I bloody well did. Really chuffed to snag 4th in the Strong Stout Catagory with my Russian Imperial, and equal 4th top score for the event. Too bad you don't get a prize for fourth. :blink: Congratulations...

I've forgotten to Oxygenate before (60L Batch), and I had no probs with attenuation. Sorry to turn into one of these people, but can you tell us: OG, Expected FG, Yeast, Pitch Rate and Ferment Temp.

Elastic Bands work well with the Glad Wrap.

I'm pretty sure that last point was a joke. At least I hope it was.

Yep, Higher Gravity with either a gradual top up through the boil, or a fermenter dilution. You can get 2 Cornys per brew.

Hi guys, I'm turning 40 later this year (fark, that's old). Living in Sunbury, I was thinking of organising a Train Pub Crawl to Bendigo for my Birthday. I need a bit of a hand with the Itinerary. I was thinking of making the first stop Kyneton, and dropping in to the Royal George Hotel...

Maybe, but when you consider that it was guarenteed legal, cut and fitted with a ball valve, and there was no risk of me stuffing it up, it was money well spent.

Hi guys, Since my mate and I bought Hendo's old Brew rig, we no longer have use for our old one. I call it 2 1/2 Vessel, because it is made up of two Keggles, and a small Urn to heat the sparge water. Here is a list of the equipment with full retail price: 1 x 20 L Urn (NOT a Birko, and the...

How did you end up going with this, Beerking? I'd be interested to know, as I am looking for a No Fuss way to add Nitrogen to my Stout.

Wasn't Chris Badenoch from Masterchef behind this?

Hi guys, Racking my brain here. I have been brewing Dr Smurto's Golden Ale recently, and after boiling and whirlpooling (3 vessel, single infusion), I am transfering crystal clear wort to the fermenter. The first time I brewed it on this system, the beer came out perfectly. The past two times...

I see reusing yeast as part of the "craft". It's another variable that you can play with. I wonder if all of those Professional Brewers who use US-05, and reuse it are ruining their beer?

After brewing a Stout recently, and marveling at the Coffee, Chocolate and Raisin notes that the Black Patent Malt gives off, I got to thinking. I wondered what it would be like if I used an Aldi Expressi machine to make a Black Patent Coffee. I cut the top off a used Coffee pod, ground some...

Word is that Budweiser have bought out the contract on most, if not all, Amarillo Hops. Craft Brewers in the States are either going to stockpile, or move away from Amarillo as a result. Not good news for Homebrewers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

I think I just had a little "episode" in my pants: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BREWING-EQUIPMENT-/190940685394?pt=AU_Food&hash=item2c74f3a452 Anyone got a spare $20K sitting around?

I was listening to Jamil Zainasheff on Brew Strong, and he suggested that Hop Flowers are great for the Boil, but when it comes to Dry Hopping, the amount of Lupulin in contact with the beer is less than using Pellets, and therefore prefers Pellets for Dry Hopping. Kind of removes the worry...
