Butane, octane, Ethanol, LPG, chains, dicks, tits, ass, girls, school and even OH&S! I just want to keep my beer cold.....but cheers for the ideas and entertainment.

Cheers Jake the tub of cold water sounds good...next time! and Hendo i could of bought a NEW fridge with the money i spent running the A/C unsuccessfully trying to cool my beer. Only prob. is no space for a second fridge. I could always just look at the forecast and avoid the adelaide heat wave...

the best beer ive made so far was bottled after 41 days. It took a while to brew but i was also busy for a week or 2.

Air temp. was 20 by night 35˚c + by day and the brew temp. 25-26 for 5 days. So not looking to hopeful but might bottle it, can always give it away!

Ive got a fat yak style ale kit on the brew. I used the yeast with it (us05). due to the HOT weather my brews been around 25-26˚c for 5 days. Is it possible its going to be any good? and what can go wrong with high temp? sg started at 1046 has stoped at sg1014. for a few days.

Cheers guys, dont think i drink it, at least not till the beer runs out. might just dust it down and keep the labels looking nice for a few more years. maybe a 50 yr. anniversary sale?!

Sorry not a beer topic but still alcohol related. Ive got 2 bottles of 1972 Wynns Romalo vintage champagne (got it from an old uncles cellar about 15 yrs ago) and dont know much about it. Is it any good? shound i drink it? keep it? mix it a brew??!! even sell it on ebay?

Im drinking a Cascade mahogany chocolate porter as i type, one of my first brews. 9 weeks in the bottle and getting better. It was brewed with 500g coopers enhancer #1 and the kit yeast at about 18˚c. i bottled it at FG.1018 after 26 days (very slow brew) .Defiantly no sour taste, but not as...

Big Nath Cheers some much needed advice. I know NO bubbles in the airlock can be miss leading but i always figured bubbles were a sure sign of action and only test SG regularly for 3 days after the bubbles stop. Brew was Cascade pale 1.7kg, coopers #2 enhancer 1kg, hops tea bag 12g??, SG has...

Grumpys? great beer an pizza on a sunny sunday but no home brew kits or ideas SORRY.

All i need is the alcohol content of a bottle of red, the warmth of a bottle of port and the taste of beer in a home brew. Is that to much to ask?

Cheers guys for all the ideas. Cant wait to drink a few. Just hope i can brew them up as easy as it sounds. If my cascase pale is anything to go by ill be waiting a while. its at 1012, constant 18-19˚c and bubbling nicely. ITS BEEN 28 DAYS! last brew was bottled after 27 days.

I love drinking guinness, coopers vintage or extra stout and as of today some dark German beer i cant rember the name of (it came in 1lt steins at 7.2%) :drinks: . But all these beers cost way to much to drink when i have to buy my own! What i want to know is how can i make beer like this with...

My other brews start bubbling through the airlock and smell like beer within a day the cascade porter didnt. 4 weeks (27 days to be exact) did seem like a long time. My cascade pale brewing at the moment around 18˚C is at 17 days and counting s.g. is at 1022 so has a while to go. I dont know is...

Brewed a Cascades Chocolate Mahogany Porter about 8 weeks ago (first brew in a long time). Added 500g coopers enhancer #1 and 12g finishing hops. The kit yeast didnt take so added a larger Yeast a few days later. Took 48hrs to get going Brewed around 18-20˚c S.G started at 1046 and bottled it...

I found a few supplies at k-mart Mt Barker and Bunnings of all places! Not to far from home (Bridgewater). Ill just have to plan better and sock up on kits and equipment when driving around for work.

Where can i get home brewing gear (second barrel, taps, caps etc.) in the adelaide hills s.a.? The only places i know have closed or turned into pizza shops! Do i need to order on line or drive down to the big smoke?

From my limited experience up to 3-4 weeks in the fermenter is ok. Ive had a few brews take their time and still come out tasting good. Get a second brew on the go to keep you busy while you waiting.

The cascade porter is on the move again. Ive warmed things up a bit 22-23˚c and given it a stir as well. SG is down 3pts to 1019 so think ill just give it some time and see what happens.

Thanks for the help, http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...showarticle=130 was a good help. Theres so much to learn!
