maybe they'd suit someone's setup? I'm happy to swap them for a couple six packs of homebrew, i'm in North Carlton VIC.

For people who like their beers hoppy, how much hops goes into an average APA recipe ? In argon's Little Fellas Pale Ale recipe, there's 180g of hops for the 23l batch. Is this a usual of amount for a 'hophead' house APA? I used to do AG but don't have the time/space anymore, so I've decided to...

I agree it is a delicious beer, my favourite on tap at the Rainbow in Fitzroy. I wonder why they decided to serve it from the hand pump at the Royston ? Isn't it an American pale ale ? (Although I suppose this shouldn't matter ?)

is 16.50 for a 6er of pilsner urquell at dan's a good deal?

not sure if this is helpful or not, but i read somewhere (charlie papazian's the complete joy of homebrewing?) that most champagne bottles take crown seals ... i've never tried, but i imagine they shouldn't be too hard to come by, you could ask at your nearest pub/hotel/reception center? or you...

that's funny, exact same experience with me, (i did the miniboil too) maybe it's just the nature of the beast, gotta drink it fresh?

hmm, i wouldn't say bandaids, but i've never smelt that in beer, i think it's like cloves, like in a hefeweizen, but disgustingly strong.

This is my first experience with 1469. My last two brews have been Landlord clones using the Wyeast Ringwood ale, which I fermented at 18 for the first three days then brought up to 21 for another few days before bottling. They came up absolute rippers. Well because of the warm weather last...

The holgate pub's actually got room's upstairs, quite nice too!

Ah that is good news. I was at the Holgate brewhouse in Woodend about 6 months ago, and they had two handpumps for their ESB and their stout, but didn't know about those other pubs?! last time I was at Transport (a year ago?), I seem to remember they just had Lion-Nathan beers?

Let us know how it turns out, my last two brew's have been dr smurto's landlord, first time with crisp MO, second time with simpson MO, (ringwood yeast both times) unfortunately the first one got drunk before the second was ready so can't do a sidebyside, they were both yummy! i've got some...

Hey Manticle, where do you get your Thomas Fawcett malts? Grain and Grape only have Bairds, Crisp and Simpsons for MO and GP malts, but I'm pretty keen to try out the TF's.

These days it seems like more local micro's are coming out with English style ESB's and i've been seeing them on tap at more and more 'ordinary' pubs, e.g. Holgate ESB at the Prince Alfred near melbourne uni, 3ravens Bronze ale at the Edinburgh castle in brunswick. Well of course they're served...

So I found something about the early history of Australian beer, a chapter in a book on google books, apparently, in the words of a visiting British brewer, 1880s Victorian beers were generally top fermented english style ales, with a 'sickly flavour and bouquet, [and] with an unpleasant bitter...

Actually I sometimes just use a sanitised jug when I couldn't be bothered syphoning, you get more trub than if you whirlpool and syphon, but i've found it to be ok if you sieve through a stocking/hopsack etc.

Just in regards to the original question, were VB, Carlton, etc always "high temperature lagers"? Or would they have used ale yeasts back in the day? Pride of Ringwood, Australian 2-row, would they have tasted like Cooper's? (or is their yeast special?) I guess I'm wondering what would an...

on the little creatures website they say that next friday there's some sort of free tasting at the brewery in freo and the little creatures pub in fizroy. has anyone been to one of these before? sounds too good to be true... (free beer?!)

I've personally noticed a big improvements in my results since doing a 3 liter 'mini boil' with late hops the next day, I find it really gave me flavour/aroma without harshness that I hadn't been able to achieve with FWH and with "cube hops" (i actually just leave the wort in the pot overnight...

hey just wanted to let people know, i was in at grain and grape last week and they said that they were expecting a shipment of wyeast 1469 west yorkshire yeast this week. last month i brewed a dr smurto landlord which was my first experience with liquid yeast, and my first experience with an...
