Confusing title? That's cos I'm a little confused. I usually buy 250g packs of crystal malt for steeping (cracked and conveniently sized and packaged) for $2.95 from my LHBS. I noticed they also sell crystal malt milled to order for $3.50/kg. Obviously substantially cheaper than what I'm...

Anyone seen/used/know anything about these new Intel boards? From what I can tell its a sort of Arduino/Raspberry Pi competitor. The ever frugal folk at over at ozbargain are onto a deal where if you sign up for the new Microsoft SDK that runs on the Galileo they'll send you the software and...

I had a few of these at the brewery a while back on tap and picked up a bottle on the weekend. A amazingly delicious hoppy amber ale. Anyone had this and have any idea on a recipe? Kit or Extract.

Wanted to Build/Buy. I would love to replace my STC-1000's with a web enabled solution where I can monitor and control thing remotely. Can someone point me in the right direction? I don't mind building it myself but don't really know where to start. Would a RaspberryPi or Arduino or...

Found a website where you swap stuff for beer (as the name suggests). Seems similar to gumtree (ie free classifieds). Looks like a good idea. Not much on there at the moment but could kick off. www.swap4beer.com.au PS. No affiliation, just thought it was a cool idea.

Hey guys. Got a GABS ticket for the Sunday session available. Had a mate pull out. $20. Can meet you out front on the day.

Does anyone know of any free online courses related to brewing? There are so many universities/institutes offering free courses these days but are there any brewing related ones?

http://accc.gov.au/media-release/accc-acts-on-beer-labelling I was following this story (and Matt Kirkegaards rants) on Australian Brews News. Good on the ACCC! Will be welcome news for small craft brewers.

As a user of iBrewMaster i was interested to check out the KickStarter project they have lauched, the BrewBox. The guy is after some serious coin to get this off the ground. Pretty sure he's dreaming...

Do any of these sound familiar: "These kegs in the laundry seem to be multiplying!", "Where is your son meant to have a bath tonight?", or maybe "Get your f@*king brewing s#!t out of the bathroom, kitchen, laundry and study!"? Then you, like me, need to build a brewhouse! I’ll preface my story...

hey guys, Charles Bamforth's book Beer Is Proof God Loves Us: Reaching for the Soul of Beer and Brewing is FREE for kindle at the moment. save 26 bucks. Don't know how long for so jump on it! I like this guy and am looking forward to reading his book. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00403MNSK Enjoy

Just bought a few tins. I heard they had free shipping but was even more excited to see the tins were $1 off as well! Enjoy

So I made an impulse buy at Bunnings....'Beer Herb' I'm not even sure what hop it is. Anyone have any ideas? Also, its very small and i notice that people are already harvesting. I would assume I will get nothing this year? I've never grown hops and only recently started using them in my brews...

My LHBS just posted on facebook that he can't get any more Amarillo hops till December. He has limited supply left and its first in best dressed. Any one else heard this?

Hey all, I've got a buck's party coming up and need to make 5-7 kegs in about 5-6 weeks. Most kegs will be fairly basic recipes (eg. CPA, Unreal Ale, etc). Question is, how fast can i make them? Normally I will ferment at the lower end of the temperature scale (18-20°C) as this apparently gives...
