    Ouch - that pricey really?

    To say I rarely go out anymore is probably still an understatement. Why bother? We cook better food at home, have beer that is equal to just about any available on tap, got a good TV for watching sport etc etc etc. So, when I met my wife and some of her ex-work collegues for a drink at a trendy...

    Ball valves leaking under suction?

    For GABF I had an interesting bit of feedback that made me watch my hot side very closely last time I brewed. The comment was always around "oxidation". Now, oxidation without acetaldehyde means it has to be hot side aeration. Don't start on about it does not matter for home brewers, because...

    Long drip tray - anyone tried a shower drain

    Something like this? I figure cut the drain connector off and seal it up and it should make a pretty good, long, stainless drip tray for a pretty reasonable price. Thoughts? Anyone used something along this line? Thinking we might use it for the clubs 8-tap portable bar.

    Portable Bar Build

    Geelong Craft Brewers had decided to build a bit of a portable bar, our annual break up camp was always a bit of a mess with people bringing all sorts of ice, bins etc. The club wanted to give something back to the members, so it was decided.

    Beer Competition Software - BCOE - any experience

    Found here http://brewcompetition.com/ Is any other club in Australia using it? I've installed it and had a bit of play and it appears very nice with ability to pay via pay-pal etc. Nice handling of sponsors, brewers, stewards etc etc. Problem I am finding is defining the AABC styles. I...
