Hi All Long time no speak. I'm currently in the middle of finalising our house, so it's ready to sell, and I have an old fridge in my garage that I need to get rid of. No, unfortunately it's not running, so would only be good for someone wanting a brew fridge that they will have to use the...

Hi all Popped in to see Bill at The Brewshop Peakhurst (no affiliation) to find that he is selling the business. He cited that time constraints with his business partner, and another unrelated business, means he has to give on of them up, and so the shop is up for sale. Mmmmmmmmm always wanted...

Hi all Just thought I'd share this as I haven't seen this from the brewing fraternity before. I competed in a cross country mountain bike race yesterday and received this as I crossed the line. Not realy interested in drinking it and I don't even know what type of beer it is, but it was...

Hi all I was planning on brewing a fairly high alcohol beer and so bought a Wyeast 1214 Belgian Abbey Ale smackpack to do the job. Problem is, I no longer want to do this and so am after suggestions for a well suited K&K recipe to unleash this animal on. I've got no problems with boiling...

Hi all Just about to rack some brews into keg and was wondering if anybody has tried this method and if it works. To save feeding the racking tube into the keg, and trying to get it to coil up in the bottom to reduce splashing, I was thinking, had anybody tried fitting a beer disconnect to the...

Hi all Just had to make a trip down to the Southern Highlands and thought I'd drop into the George the IV brew/pub for lunch on the way home. When I got there I found that the whole joint is roped off, with signs claiming that the pub is temporarily closed due to unforseen circumstances...

Hi all I'm thinking of dry hopping a few brews when I rack to secondary. I'll just be using hop pellets but the question is how to ensure the pellets contain no nasties. I currently only add hops when boiling my ingredients and so no fear of an infection there, but what about when they're added...

After a normal ferment of an ale I decided to rack it into a newly acquired cube and place it into my fridge (2 deg) to wait for an empty keg. It sat in the fridge for 3 weeks and I racked into the keg yesterday but the beer is oxidised to the point that it is undrinkable. :angry: I'm using the...

Hi All Read a few posts on food grade lube for fermenter O rings but what I really need to know is what would be the safest stuff to use to lube my taps, and where would I get it? I've just started taking my taps apart for cleaning and when they go back together they are hideously stiff to turn...

Hi all Just went to my local BOC gas supplier in Moorebank (Syd) ans nearly fell over at the price of the rental of a 9kg CO2 bottle. They're quoting $135.00 a year for rental and I have to set up a cash account to get a hold of one :o . I was hoping to get a bottle today (Saturday) so I can...
