Hey brewers. I haven't brewed for 12 months, so it's time to get rid of all my gear. Prefer local buyer, but could post / freight smaller items at buyers expense. Brewing: 40 litre concealed element Crown urn. In very good, used condition. Clean, but not spotless. Has original tap and still...

The boss (my employer, not the lady-boss) and I have to spend Monday night in Newcastle. We both like fishing and beer. Won't be taking fishing rods... ...so - recommend me a good bar with good beer please. nb: Accomodation is already taken care of - but I have NFI where. Not sure if we need a...

I think I've got a new strain of yeast. Little has changed in my process, but after a year and a bit of AG BIAB brewing I finally brewed a shocker! Recent changes: - stopped skimming the scum as sweet wort came to boil - made a couple of very nice beers. - might have pitched a couple of brews a...

Hi all. Bought an old, home-made camper trailer. It has a 240v socket (male) and 6 standard outlets. Bought a RCD and plugged it in and tested all sockets working. They are. Went to big green shed today, and noticed all caravan extension leads are 15 amp. Bloke there told me all powered sites...

Hey Tassie brewers. Setting up a portable keg system for camping, and use kegs @ home. Can't see myself ever doing a lot of bottles again, so I thought I'd "give a bit back" to someone, as people from this forum have been so generous to me. Approx (CBF counting them at the moment) 4 dozen...

Hey brewers. Having learned my craft from the $30 BIAB thread, I generally skim my wort as it approached the boil to get the brown foam / scum out. This is a bit of a tedious process, one of the few parts of brewday where I can't wander off and do something else. Does it matter? Do I NEED to get...

18 months ago I "discovered" craft beer. 12 months ago I began brewing . Tonight we went out for dinner. Limited beer choice, so I went a guinness (can). WTF! It tasted like... well, it hardly had any taste at all. Carbonated dark water with a slight flavour of ..... flavournesness. Then I had...

Recently gave my liver a break for a few weeks (SWMBO's idea) which was a great opportunity to restock supplies, and to give a few brews plenty of conditioning time. One of these brews was an AIPA with about 400g of crystal, and 70 IBUs. It was CC for a week or 2, the kegged, where it sat for a...

Hey brewers. I just picked up a sack of JW pils from the BB.. Not sure why I bought it. Almost missed the buy, and just ordered the first thing that came to mind... (I may have had a few sherbets by then) I also got a sack of JW trad ale malt, and I have wheat malt, caramalt and munich1 left...

Today, I learned to check my taps. Not just before transferring wort / beer to another FV / cube / jerrycan, but after moving the vessel as well. Yesterday I racked my "Little perler" to secondary and put the cube in my chesty to CC along with a jerrycan of an IPA. The tap was sound and leak...

Hey brewers. Today I picked my first home grown hops. I have 328g of delicious looking Perle hops - but have never used this variety before. I believe thay are often used in lagers and pils, but I don't intend to brew a lager, and aren't a big fan of pils (although I have just ordered a sack of...

My alternate lifestyle mate tried some of my beer and he loved it. He has an outdoor "firebath". An enamel bath cemented over a firepit, and he wants to do a brew in it! He reckons it will get to and maintain a vigorous boil. He wants to do single vessel and no chill. I'm thinking BIAB (IAB). We...

Hi brewers. Just finished a keg of my best brew yet. Original recipe was my version of an American IPA using 4.8 kg ale malt, 0.8 kg wheat malt, 400g munich1 and 400g caramunich, and hopped with: Zeus 20g @ 60 Amarillo, cascade and simcoe, 15g each @ flame out Amarillo, cascade and simcoe, 15...

Hi AHB'ers. I recently went to NSW south coast for a few weeks, and I took a couple of batches of HB with me. Both were all grain recipes, a DSGA and an AIPA. The AIPA used a similar grain bill as the DSGA, but with more grain. It was obviously hopped to a higher (70ish) IBU. Both were made...

Hi folks. Got back from hol's on Sunday morn and found my CO2 bottle empty. :( Should have it back, full, tomorrow. Couple of questions: Re. NRVs - I take it they only prevent fluid (beer) from flowing back through the gas lines and not gas? Is this correct? Secondly, when I left I had 2...

Hi all. Did a search but couldn't find relevant results, so starting a thread to ask a couple of (noobish) questions: I have a "Stuck tap". It's stuck shut (I may have forgotten to rinse it before going away on boxing day) and it's stuck onto the font, so I can't soak it to get it unstuck...

Hi all. Now that we know what hops we will be using for the Hopco challenge / Tas BrewBQ, I need a recipe, and some advice as I have not used these hops before. From what I've read, the Zythos is actually a blend of different hop varieties and is considered dual purpose. Its an American, the...
