Howdy all, been a long, long loooong time since I've posted on here.. anyway no point getting all nostalgic :D Looking to buy a (preferrably) non-flooded, chrome dual beer font and 2 of those pub style andale florite taps to go with them. I live in Brisbane so any postage/pick up will need to...

Howdy folks, Got a mate who is installing a new bar. He's very keen to have a glycol cooled system put in (either single or double tap) on a nice brass font. Any idea what this will set him back? Any other suggestions on who to contact aside from Andale? Thanks in advance.

So, here is the mash/lauter tun that I have decided to make. It is basically a copy of Doc's I suppose, except I couldn't get any High temp PVC, so I used all copper. The esky is a 45 litre Igloo that I picked up from BBQ's galore for $50. (I did have a 30 litre esky I was going to use but this...

About a year ago I made a home brew with my old man and the father in law. They affectionately named it "2 pa's ale". Well, after sampling it after 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks it was a shocker. I was going through the shed (where I keep them) and decided to give one another shot. Put her in the...

Was shopping in Coles the other day and; after hearing Johnno enquiring about the CCB I thought I'd whack it in the fermenter for a test run. Money was short and so was time but I managed to sneak this into the shopping trolley. I got it home and got to work meticulously cleaning my fermenter...

Okay, so I've done a few K+K's nad have recently obtained 2 kegs. Getting the esky for the mash/luater tun is easy part. I would really like to have a go at an AG brew, so please bear with me as I ask more dumb questions. I've read through the relevant chapters on http://www.howtobrew.com and...

Was in Ballina last weekend and got into the JS Amber Ale. Great drop IMHO. Does anyone have any recipes to try and emulate this? I would absolutely love to make this beer. Cheers, Matt.

Okay guys. Heres my latest. Made a brew with the Tooheys Special Draught. Specifics: 500gm llme 1kg "TCB Ultra Brew" 250gm Honey 12g Goldings 30 mins 12g POR Dry hopped O.G 1.062 F.G 1.018 So, It fermented for 5 days, (2 consecutive readings of 1.018) and then transferred to the clearing cube...

Howdy all, So I am starting to get more and more adventurous as to what I am prepared to try and the next item on my [s]hit list is yeast starters. After reading on various forums and so forth it is apparent that the strain of yeast you use has as much to do with the outcome and flavour of the...

So heres the background. I am a shortish bloke (about 176/178cm) and weighed in at about 100kg. I do have a big frame, but had quite a distended gut. I decided I didn't liek the gut at 28 years of age, so got my ass into gear and started going to the gym 3 days a week doing situps and cardio...

I have been thinking.. I have a few left over bottles and my bench capper. If I wanted to go visiting with some homebrew can I pour from the keg into the bottles, crown seal them and then save them for afterwards? (Assuming they stay cold) Will they last for long or go flat like an opened...

I've got a brew thats been sitting in the CC for about a week and I wanted to keg it tonight. By the book, I'm meant to gas it at a higher pressure for 2 days and then take it back to drinking pressure. Is there any way I can speed up this process? What about this rocking method I've heard...

Well, as I owe a lot of the quality that comes through this puppy to you guys I thought I'd pass on some happy snaps of my setup. I only have a single tap installed at the moment (Hopefully soon to have at least 1 nice new andale coming provided the minister for war and finance - read: wife -...

I just put down a friend friendly (maybe) kit of Tooheys Draught with: 500gm Dextrose 500gm Maltodextrin 1kg LME 250gm honey 12g Goldings Hops (steeped for 20 mins) The kit, dextrose, maltodextrine, honey and LME were all simmered together for about 10 mins and after the hops had been steeped...

So, after spending a fair bit of time reading the posts here I have come to understand quite a few of the TLA's (pardon the pun) thrown around in here. LME = Liquid Malt extract, correct? I went to my local HBS and bought a litre of Liquid Malt (Assuming we are all talking about the same...

I put down a brew yesterday arvo with 1kg dextrose and 500gm of some malt extraxt stuff. Smelled great, and aerated it nicely with the hose. Let it settle for a while and cool down a tad, then whacked in my hydrometer. It was still kinda frothy, but more towards the edges so I put the old...

Howdy all, Lots of great threads on here, but I have a few questions if you dont mind. I used to put my home brew into bottles but I am hopeless at sterilising the bottles. I made probably 4 batches of homebrew in the past 5 years and only 1 turned out worth drinking. The rest were used to eat...
