I would say that Nowra is a very similar place to Taree in terms of population, industry and socioeconomic profile. We have had problems with vandalism and violence in the CBD and other areas. Stopping new competitors entering the liquor market during limited opening hours would do little to...

Wandered into my local Aldi today (alcohol section just opened a couple of weeks ago) picked up a pack of imported Heineken for $10. They also had imported Becks and Stella, as well as some knock offs. Considering my kegs are almost empty at Christmas time I am willing to give it a go at...

I will be trying it real soon, from what I have heard it stands up very well next to Weyermann. It also allows buying through another channel than the monopolistic wholesalers that control the malt in this country.

Most people like to be acknowledged when they enter a store. You could just as easily criticize someone for ignoring you. Retail would be an OK job, if only for the %&*wit customers! :P

and I was under the impression they are mostly sold here in ally cans..

So.. has anyone made any brews with this blend? I just got hold of a couple of sachets to try in some best bitters with Challenger. I'm hoping for lots of esters and marmalede :icon_drool2:

Hi I will share what has worked for me as an average punter Firstly, if I have never brewed a beer of a particular style that I want, I will have a look at some of the "famous" recipes, whether that be particular brews by a well known AGer or just clone-style recipes from the net. Sometimes...

However, not many homebrewers possess a 'quality' pH meter or would know the correct way to use one. Myself included. I'll stick to my strips thank you.

Good quality pH strips and a good eye are just as, if not more accurate than electronic gizmos Bribie

If the hops are not fully dried and not frozen they can go mouldy quickly in plastic bags.

Possibly for some of the same reasons why they might do an acid rest! It's not always about the end result...

Hi unrealous, I am excited to hear about your experiment. I decided against using this technique a long time ago as it seemed to offer little advantage and lengthen an already laborious brewday for BoPils... I will be interested to hear what you think of the result. I hope you are not triple...

Am I right in interpreting the 10 minute IPA has a single 400g addition at 10mins? How do they come up with the figure of 60 IBUs in that case?

Hi Dr Smurto, How did that one go? I think it would be too sweet even for my taste.. I am thinking of revisiting the old Weizenbock recipe real soon now that the nights have started to cool down. This is one beer style that I enjoy a bit of 'bubblegum' flavour in, it is probably the one beer...

I had a read of the application and it does sound like they will be making full mash beers. Can't wait!

Well that sounds promising Barry!

Heard about this a couple of weeks ago, but was reminded about it today: Plans for South Nowra Micro Brewery A Zierholz-style brewery+bistro would be nice, can't see it happening in South Nowra though... At worst it could be an extract B.O.P...

Just another idea, how about a steam beer? Not a bad idea for brewing in this hotter weather. Plus Northern Brewer is the signature hop of, eg. Anchor Steam It's a really good all round hop, don't be afraid to try it in most styles at a pinch
