Does anyone own this freezer, I was just reading the K-Mart catalogue and they have it on sale for $199 which is $300 off RRP. I'm curious to know how many 19 ltr kegs I'd fit in it. I have no idea what the dimensions are as I only just read the catalogue a minute ago and I haven't seen it in...

Anyone here participating in Movember 2008? I will be, especially seeing last year I managed to raise over $1,000 for this great cause. If you aren't taking part and would like to make a donation, my registration number is 1648551, or you can click here...

Hi Everyone, Over at my own website I am currently trying to arrange a bulk purchase of Spiegelau glassware for anyone interested and I thought some of you guys/gals might be keen also based on threads I've read on here before about glassware. If anyone is interested can you please reply here...

As the title suggests I was hoping for some feedback regarding this topic. At present once I bottle I tend to store them back in the fridge at the same temp I fermented at until ready to drink (might be 3 weeks, might be 8 weeks depending on stocks and the beer/s available) at which point I put...

I'm thinking about buying this esky (or one of his similar items) to use as a Mash Tun. The majority of my mashes are single batches although I do the odd double batch. I would also like to have a go at a Barley Wine, but my current 25 ltr Esky doesn't cut the mustard. Has anyone used this...

I was looking for some brown sugar for cooking with last night when I discovered in the back of the cupboard a can of Cascade Porter and a can of Light Malt Extract (Coopers I think). They are still in date, and rather than throw them away I thought I'd whip up a quick recipe in between AG...

Yep, in a rush today making a batch and forgot to add my 300 grams of oats to the mash. What can I do? Can I add them to the boil, or should I cover my wort and mash the oats alone? Or should I just leave them out altogether? Edit: I was trying to brew a robust porter with the following bill...

Does anyone know where I can get them from? I'd prefer Hickory if possible, but would be happy with any fruit trees (eg: peach, pear, apple etc..) instead. I've seen brickettes and stuff at Bunnings & BBQs Galore, but I'd prefer to buy bulk. I found one bloke on eBay in the US but postage was a...

I currently batch sparge and I'm thinking about ways to make my brew day more efficient and easier on my back. At present I have a 13 ltr bucket which has markings down the side at each half ltr. I use BeerSmith to calculate sparge water which typically works out around two lots of 12-15 ltr...

Next weekend I'll be brewing a Porter (23 ltr) which I'm going to split into two experimental batches once they hit secondary. Half will be a chocolate porter by adding cocoa powder and some vanilla beans to secondary, whilst the other half will have bourbon soaked oak chips added to secondary...

I currently have a fridge which is hooked up to a fridgemate and works a treat - but its only a small fridge and only fits a single 30 ltr fermenter in it after which point the fridge is full. However, I can fit two 25 ltr jerry cans (plastic food safe ones - cubes for those no-chilling)...

Im going to do my first AG at the weekend after a few practice partial runs in the last few weeks, and a friend gave me the following recipe to create a Mild (read: mid strength) English Style Ale which I've punched into Beersmith. Make up to 23ltrs. Amount Item Type % or IBU 3.00 kg Pale...

I am looking to purchase my first kettle today and I primarily do 22-23 litre batches. However on the odd occasion I do a double or 44-46 litre batches. Using BeerSmith a 44 litre batch requires a boil volume of 48.25 litres. Which as far as I can tell should fit, snuggly, in a 50 litre pot...

This is what I plan on putting down at the weekend. Overall I am trying to achieve a porter which has a pronounced coffee flavour and bouquet/aroma. To me coffee and chocolate go hand in hand which is what Im trying to get as a result. Ingredients: 1 can Chocolate Mahogany Porter (Cascade...

I am a member of Barons Brewing Sqaudron (basically their newsletter) and last night received an email about their new Lemon Myrtle Witbier they are in the process of launching. It is a no-hops beer, using Lemon Myrtle herbs in place. For a while now I've thought about doing an out there...

I've been considering getting a small water tank at home to use for homebrew. Primarily due to all the water that one uses during cleaning, but also if viable to use in the brew also instead of tap water. The latest catalogue was just delivered to me and I spoted this portable water tank for...

I am in the process of testing my used fridge out for the first time as a fermenting (primary) fridge. The fridge itself doesn't work properly and never gets colder then 7 degrees, even overnight. I'm reading and being told a large variety of conflicting information regarding temperatures and...

Hi Everyone, I've just finished writing an article on Gluten Free Beer and what options Coeliacs have who want to keep drinking. I'm now looking for more information to beef it up if possible as I'm not Gluten Intolerant myself but we've had a really increasing number of requests about Gluten...
