Hey everyone, Selling my 50L Speidel Braumeister stainless steel hood. It's in excellent condition, having been only used 3-4 times. RRP is $310. My price: $199. Pickup from Reservoir (AH) or Preston (BH).

Hey everyone, This is driving me nuts... I've been kegging for maybe 5-years now, same setup, never had this issue before. I have a twin tap kegerator, both kegs are pouring foam. It started with one keg, I thought maybe the poppet was blocked with hob debris, it was. Took it and the dip tube...

Hey everyone, Over here in Perth right now - I've been staying in Freo for the past coupe of years, which is spoilt for choices, and I know of a few good spots in Mt. Lawley, but are there any recommendations for good craft beer bars in the Perth CBD? Just laying some groundwork for tonight...

Looks like there's some new hops coming out of the UK, which I'm pretty excited to try. One of these is Archer. Archer is a new low trellis, wilt resistant hop variety from the Charles Faram Hop Development Program. Tolerant to powdery mildew. It combines classic British aroma with a citrus...

The new Brau features the ability to store up to 10 different mash profiles and recipes... I can work out how to alter an existing recipe/profile, but does anyone know: How to delete a recipe? How to change a recipes name? How to omit/delete a step? (just set to same temp as previous step, and...

Hey everyone, Just thought I'd gauge interest - my Kegmaster kegerator Series 3 isn't quite working to the standard I'd like right now. Turns on fine, compressor runs, but it's not getting as cold as I want - hovering around 10-degrees, according to digital thermostat. So, I'm willing to part...

Hey everyone, Just thought I'd get in early and put this on everyone's radar. Tuesday 28th October @ The Terminus, North Fitzroy. I'd imagine it's a 7pm kickoff, and we'll be upstairs. Looking forward to it already.

Awesome turnout last night, lads and ladettes. Must have been about 30 or so of us. Great to see some new faces, familiar faces and some female brewers. Many nice beers were sampled, although why were so many 8%+? Lol. Looking forward to the October meeting at my favourite Melbourne pub...

Hey everyone, Got an interesting one here... I'm making a brew with some old White Labs WLP570 Golden Ale Yeast, the yeast is down to 6% viability, so I was planning on making a 1L into 2L stepped starter to ramp the numbers up to where they need to be. Made the 1L starter, on the stir plate...

I couldn't find a thread on this… Merri Mashers: June Meeting Tuesday 24th June, 7pm @ The Gertrude, Fitzroy. Anything in particular on the cards for tomorrow night, boys?

Hi guys, We're thinking about stocking extract… what are the best brands out there? What do you guys use and approve of? Is this something that is usually a pickup from the LHBS, or would you consider (or do you already) have it delivered to you? Cheers.

Anyone check out this article that was published in Melbourne's The Age a couple of days back (25th Feb 2014)? 'A Brew on the Wild Side' You can't see it but you can certainly taste it. It worries winemakers and delights a growing breed of brewers. What is it? It's a funky little wild yeast...

Hi AHB crew, I've had a few people ask me the same question in the last couple of days regarding this - so I thought I'd try to dispel this misnomer that seems to exist: White Labs yeast do NOT require a starter any more than Wyeast would require a starter. Both White Labs and Wyeast contain...

Hey everyone, Got a fridge that was given to me by another AHB member for a 6'er, up for grabs… no charge, although a bottle or two of your finest wouldn't be refused :) Please note that the freezer compartment up top is missing (how I got it), so this fridge can get super cold - so cold it...

MOD: Post edited by Lord Raja Goomba I, to place hop description above the original post (and move to the hop description sub-thread for discussion). Original post below: Has anyone tried Palisade hops (USA)? Thoughts? I was given some Palisade a year ago and thought I'd give them a go, so I...

Quick question… I usually use Joe White malt for Aussie Malt when required, simply because that's all I've ever used. One of my favourite LHBS now only seems to stock Barrett Burston Ale Malt, no Joe White equivalent… it got me thinking, I've never tried Barrett Burston…. So, if you've tried...
