Hi Everyone Braumeister 50L for sale in Melbourne. Comes with 3 way ball valve tap and immersion chiller. I also have the original tap. Bought second hand from a member in 2013, and I think he bought it from Grain and Grape in 2012. All up it has done probably less than 20 brews. I have two...

Hi all Does anyone have a copy of the PDF version of Nick JD's old beginner's AG tutorial? Everything went when he got booted, but it's the way I learnt AG and still a great resource for beginners I think. I thought I had it somewhere but haven't been able to find it. A mate is starting out and...

Gday I've not brewed for almost a year due to time constraints which are likely to continue for the next year or two, and now we're moving house and I want to get rid of a lot of my stuff (esp consumables) so they can be used by someone! Here is the gear: 4x 19l Ball lock cornies - $50...

Hi The missus and I are going on a central european car trip in a few weeks and we're looking to break it up a bit with a week on the coast in either Slovenia or Croatia. Does anyone have any suggestions for particular towns/locations? Ideally looking for a nice beach that's not completely...

Hi all So I have this pack of T 58 that's been sitting in the fridge for like a year, and I also want to brew something dark to bottle for the winter months. So I'm thinking belgian stout. There's not a lot of info out there, or a lot of recipes - what have people had success with and how will...

Hey Went to my favourite asian joint on the weekend and had the sichuan pork. Totally awesome, and so tender. Meat dishes at asian restaurants are always like that... when I do stirfries at home I can't come near replicating it. What's the deal? Do they add kiwi fruit to the raw meat first...

The recent thread about Octoberfest beers at Aldi make me think of the first time I had Paulaner Octoberfest. It was one of those moments in the beer journey where you think to yourself, wow, I didn't know a beer could taste like that... You love it right off the bat and discover a style unknown...

Hey all, I have a warm keg I need carbed in about 5 days. Because it's warm I can't use the Ross method, and because i need it done in 5 days I don't want to just set and forget in case it ends up undercarbed. So I've set my reg to 25 psi for the moment to give it a head start, then i'll...

Hey all, I am most likely going to brew my first english IPA next weekend. This is what I'm looking at: OG 1060ish IBU 55ish 87% Pale Ale 5% Dark Crystal 5% Medium Crystal 3% Biscuit Willamette at 60, Styrians late and dry hopped. I am tempted to go all styrians, I've never used them...

Hey obviously I'm slow on the uptake, but Bribie's banned too now??? This is getting ridiculous! Surely you take into account the positive a person has brought to the forum when deciding whether to ban them for particular offence??? I'm not sure what he and Nick did because it's obviously very...

Hello All, currently I use 2kg/1g kitchen scales for my brewing but now I'm using salts (and have a 50l system) my trusty old scales are simultaneously too small and too big. So I need a small one for salts, have been thinking this...

Hey guys, From time to time I read about member's brewery infection issues, and think 'thank god that's not me'. Except this time I think it is me. ****. I have had a lack of hop aroma in the last 5 or so brews with a slight chemical smell. Initially I thought it was the Keg King sanitiser...

Hey all, 30 or 40 AGs in now, and realised the other day I'm still yet to do a SMaSH recipe. The thought coincided with getting a sack of Best Vienna. At the moment I'm leaning towards a Vienna/Waimea SMaSH. I've done a little reading and heard nothing but glowing reviews for Vienna SMaSHs...

Hey all, I've just crushed grains for an ANZUS themed IPA I'll brew tomorrow night. Pretty excited about it, recipe is as follows: JW Pilsner 95% Caramunich II 5% OG 1060 IBU 63 Columbus @ 60 Columbus, Galaxy and Nelson @ 15 Columbus, Galaxy and Nelson @ 5 Columbus, Galaxy and Nelson Dry hop...

Hi, On the weekend I brewed a belgian pale ale with Wy 1214 - one smack pack. The OG was a bit low for style at 1045 but the plan was to use it as a 'starter beer' for an upcoming Belgian blond ale, so this was intentional, and I only brewed 9 litres. Mr Malty said I needed 3 packs due to the...

Hi all, Just came back from a trip to Europe and while in London I had several pints of an ale called Spring Sprinter by Fullers. I found it to be sensational. Light colored ale, around 4%, amazing hop aroma and taste. The Fullers website has a video where some guy explains the beer and the...

Hey all, I've recently started using napisan (unscented, homebrand) to clean my fermenters, and pvt tubing, and airlocks etc. Much easier than scrubbing and a lot better in that I don't have to worry about scratching the fermenters. I know a lot of people use it, big props to whomever's post I...

Hi guys, quick question - i want to brew a porter on the weekend but dont have any choc malt. thinking about subbing for some pale choc i have, plus some caraaroma and a pinch of roast barley. i'm looking for a fairly rich, chocolate-malty taste. do you think the pale choc combo will work, or...

Hey all, I've really been getting into LC's Roger's beer recently, and am keen to try to make a clone. Somewhere on this site I found a picture of the 'recipe' written on a blackboard (props to whoever posted it, cant find it atm). The description given by LC is as follows: Hops: cascade (tas...

Hi all, I'm interested in doing an APA (my first), and I also wanted to use the batch as a chance to use up some of the odds and ends I have floating around. So the other week I bought 80 grams of Chinook and some US-05 yeast. This is going to be a partial with dried malt extract. Apart from...
