Hi Everyone, I haven't been homebrewing in about 10 years now, and think its time to let go of my gear. I don't have photos handy, but any interest and I'll happy put some up. Alternatively, I'm based in inner west Sydney so swing by if you want to look. Brewery - asking $1k ono - at least $3k...

I bought a case of Hop Hog recently from First Choice. It had all the old green labels from last year. I've opened three from the case, all of them extremely carbonated, thin, sour and almost unpalatable. Now, I love IPA as much as anyone here, and there is definitely something wrong with this...

Not sure if selling non-brewing stuff is allowed on this forum, sorry if it aint ;) I have a set of 4 stock rims from a '93 (I think...) BMW 540i. Theyre 15" 5-studs, and I'm 99.99% sure theyre 120mm PCD with +20 offset. Pics of each rim and tyre wear are in...

Howdy. I'm making a Belgian Abbey II starter, well have been for a couple days, and it smells mildly of sulfur. My house is cold and the smack pack is ancient, so it took a couple days to grab. I have googled and found on another forum people saying they get a tiny bit of sulfur with this yeast...

Howdy, I have a Mashmaster MK I chiller available for sale that is excess to my needs Can see the original thread here. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...=10488&st=0 20 plates, female 1/2" threaded fittings on all four corners. Asking $50 plus postage. Can figure out postage on...

A recipe I want to try is mashed at 67C, has predicted OG at 1.062 and FG at 1.015. Thats about 76% attenuation I think, which is within spec for the recommended yeast (1020, 72-77% IIRC). I want to use a different yeast that is rated by wyeast as 67% - 71%. In BCS they say to mash lower or...

Howdy... Anyone know where I can get some calcium carbonate (chalk) in a hurry? I have a heap of blackboard chalk here, and I'm about to brew, and was intending on using it. After an incredibly small amount of thought, I figured it would contain some kind of binding agent which is no good. Upon...

Howdy... just kinda a shot in the dark here, but if anyone is willing to invite me to either or both of these sites, it would be much appreciated. I'm fairly experienced with private trackers and won't tarnish your rep :)

Howdy. My friend moved to Denmark recently to study, and just moved house. I just got this message/photo on facebook :\ They look a hell of a lot like hops to me. Anything else they could be?

Do you have a preference? Obviously different styles are hop or malt driven, and they can all be good, but the question is inspired by my brothers tastes. Now he is by no means a connoisseur, and he doesn't seem to like any hoppy beers. Not because theyre too bitter or whatever, its quite the...

Has anyone heard of or tried Carlton RAW. A friend of mine had a 6er arrive in the mail recently for market research. I think there's one there with my name on it. I did a search and couldn't find anyone else mention it...

Howdy. My fridge doesn't get cold enough anymore. It's a fridge on a freezer, and in the freezer at the back I can see a bunch of coils through a little gap that ice up a heap. If I take a heatgun to it and melt all the ice, it works good as new (or better) for a few weeks or months, till theyre...

Just put down a tripel, thought I'd give it a good aerating. Walked off, forgot about the stone. Came back 10min later to this

Howdy, I'm about to drop $239 on a brand spankin 3/4hp (0.55kw) 6 pole (920rpm) cap start 240V single phase motor to run my mill (millmaster) This seems like a pretty good deal, seeing as every motor dealer I've rang wants at least $500 for something similar. That's about as much as I know when...

Not sure how long this has been around for: http://www.wolframalpha.com/ its pretty cool though.

Howdy, I've started to think flameout additions are fairly pointless. Every time I do them, it smells great in the fermenter, then there's no aroma left once it's fermented. Can you just replace flameout with dry hop (post fermentation of course). Is there anything flamout does that dry hop...

Howdy, I just bought a Millmaster Mill with hopper and crank handle. I built onto the hopper and made a grain gear guard and all that jazz, works like a treat and isn't all that hard to work by hand. I crack 5-6kg of grain in 5-10mins, and get a good shoulder workout while I'm at it. I paid...

Howdy. I'm sick of chasing chest freezers on ebay that go for 10% less than retail for a 30 year old freezer. I've had 2 fridges and a chest freezer ($500 all up) die on me within a year of buying 2nd hand, so I'm thinking of forking out for newbie. Has anyone had experiences with the...

What's the most brews you've gone in a week? Looking for time spent here, not how much you plan to drink. (ie 25 k&ks in a week isnt as impressive as 10 AGs :P) I've pulled off 3 in the past 5 days (AG of course), and am thinking of doing a double (back to back) tonight... I've got no...

Howdy, I know this is pretty much a useless request on this forum, but just putting it out there. Anyone with any fridge or freezer that can can fit a fermentor inside I've been searching for a while. My local freecycle is flooded with wanted ads for these items. In fact there only seems to be...
