    How Many Posts On AHB Do You Need To Win a Brew Comp

    Been reading all the State and National brew comp threads lately and i have taken note of all the absolute brewing champs that have just a couple or thirty or a hundred posts here. Many seem to be long term members. I often wonder when reading these things, about the reasoning behind all that...

    Seal Kits for Perlicks

    I admit i haven't searched, but i have one of my 4 perlicks that chewed up an O ring not long after i got it. I've been having real trouble getting the perfect size O ring from the engineering shop and it sticks, leaks and plays up if not used for a couple of days. I don't know whether it has a...

    First Go At Roggenbeir

    I didn't know what it was this morning, but i've mashed in now. I did have the wheat addition down as rye, but only had 8.3 kgs, so had to throw 3 kgs of wheat in there. It smells fantastic. My question is about the yeast, style says it's fermented with wheat yeast, i only use dry yeasts...

    New England Brewing Co, Uralla NSW

    Took the bike for a spin and dropped in here yesterday. http://www.uralla.com/new-england-brewing-co-115.html It's a great setup in a big old shed right on the New England Highway run by two young couples with a passion for beer. They were brewing while i was there and the smell walking in...

    Fess up Time; Can't Get OG on Target

    Background is that i've been brewing allgrain for a year and a half or so. Doing 84l batches pretty often. My old mash tun i ended up setting my efficiency at 74% and hitting numbers every time within a point or so. New mash tun (esky with brass manifold built as Clive recommendation) was...

I had a search round the net and some do the cook in a saucpan for a cuple minutes and then hot smoke on the half shell, while others hotsmoke from raw. I was gunna do em on the covered gas bbq that's set up to smoke with a small chip...

    False Bottoms for 50l Kegs Under Development

    Hi all, due to a number of customer requests we will soon be releasing a very good keg conversion kit that will allow people to turn a 50l keg, or indeed any other weldable vessel, into a conical fermenter. The bit we still have to design and build is a filter disc/false bottom section. This...

    Hops In Wheat Beer

    The wheat beer thread had me tonguing for a fresh easy drinking beer on tap. I know it's a summer thing but i'm ready for a change in the lineup. I have some beautiful new season Cascade flowers from NZ and still have a fair bit of the Victorias Secret flowers. I was thinking that i'd love an...

    Market Research-Tamworth Brew Store

    Hi fellow brewers. I'm very interested in views from the people around the Tamworth area in NSW as to whether they'd use a store that was more orientated to the brewer and distiller of craft products than cordials and kits. I am very close to a descision on a new store here. I would like to...

    Baja Mango Chilli Sauce

    Stole this from the web years ago, i make it every now and then to keep at home and give for gifts. A very nice spicy, sweet sauce with enough heat to get you going but not so much it hurts. Probably one step up from hot english mustard in the heat dept. Or just around a commercial chilli...

    BBQ Pork Buns

    Been asked to post the recipes for these little home favourites so i will. I swear if i was having my condemned last meal these would be on the menu (they'd probably be the frozen shit ones though). There is three processes, first you make the Chinese BBQ Pork, then you use that and some...

    Keg Weighing System

    I'm trying to find the you tube vids i saw linked on here ages ago of what i think was a kiwi guy who installed scales in his keezer and could measure how many pinys he had left in a keg. I tried a search and came up with nothing, does anyone (most probably) have a better memory as to where it...

    Newcastle Brew Pub

    I've heard MHB mention a good pun in Newie where a guy can get lots of yummy ales, but can't find or remember the name of it. Thought i'd go for a ride and drink some beer. Also does anyone know if they have rooms and secure MC parking? edit, should have put this in the pub. Zealous mods...

    Speaker Cable

    Having the lounge room recarpeted and i am going to run new cables under the carpet while it's up. I know there are some keen stereo fans on here and thought i'd ask what to get and where to get it from. I have an ageing system consisting of a Yamaha amp, Aaron floorstanders and Bose...

    My New Boiler

    Thought i'd show off my new water heater. I do 3v manually and do 84l batches. 160 litre gas fired hot liquor tun and a 120l esky mash tun. I was using a 50l keg to heat strike and sparge water, but sometimes i'd need 70l or more for the sparge and it was a real juggling act getting hotter...
