    Why Is It....

    Why is it that you can spend days tweaking recipes, go buy specific ingredients to make beers you think you will float you boat... and then you feel stocks are dwinding so you throw down a basic as hell quaffer only to find it trumps the lot Not complaining, just observing

    Rifle Brigade In Bendigo No Longer A Brewpub?

    This weekend past had a few days with the missus up in Bendigo. Love to go touring the countryside, spent some years growing up in Gippsland so any excuse to leave the city is a good one. Anyways.. had the Rifle Brigade down as a certainty on the 'to visit' list, was staying in town and looking...

    Stuck Ferment

    Been a while since a brew has done anything like this to me, but it appears i've got a stuck fermenter.

    Back From Europe

    Back from one phenomenal trip through Europe. Only 5 weeks but that's plenty of time to tour the sights, sample some beer and blow the budget sky high. Didn't help that while I was away the hot water tank in the roof above the laundry split its seams - in case I had anything left in the bank...

    Knock Off Drinks

    Thought you guys might appreciate this one. It may have taken me a year but beer education in the office has now progressed to the point where LCPA is the beer o'clock choice. What's better than free beer? GOOD free beer :beer:

    Looks Like Ill Be A Kit Brewer For Another Year

    Between going to EU/UK early next year for a holiday & wedding shindig, saving every last dollar for a house deposit & going to Bathurst this weekend for the race, the purse has literally snapped shut and been locked away for the summer. Me thinks Ill be a rather good kit & partial brewer by...

    Safale K-97 Fermentation Temps

    All but finished fermenting a Belgian abbey (inspired) honey ale using K-97 dry yeast. I pitched around 24 degrees and temperature settled to the controller set 19.5 degrees within 12 hours. For 6 days it's sat 19.5, fermentation has been steady but gentle as expected. Last night when I was...

    Is Filtering Your Water Important

    I see pictures of peoples setups and one common item is a water filter. Im brewing kit/extracts and ive been getting some unusual results of late. It occurs to me that 75% of what im putting into my fermenter is unfiltered tap water. Melbourne water isnt bad water to drink, which by the 'good...

    Rehab Lager

    12 hours soaking sodium percarbonate, 24 hours soaking in sodium metabi, i figure my fermenter is either clean ready to go back to work after its recent spate of infections, or its catatonic. Either way its getting one last test to find out. It was going to be named tightarse lager, but in the...

    Name That Infection Game

    12 months, 24 brews, 450L of flawless beer from my number 1 fermenter, suddenly i have a problem. A few weeks back I was trying an experimental brew using yeast starters from the sediment of coopers sparkling lonknecks. Fermentation blaringly lacking, I then decided at around the 36 hr mark to...

    Cutting A Keg Around Melb

    A friend of mine has offered up a couple of old kegs he's had cluttering his garage since his youth. I dont believe I have the artillery to cut the tops off them, not cleanly at least. Anybody know where i could go around Melb to get them cut so I can use them as brew kettles?

    Its Begun, No Turning Back Now

    Was filling in for a friend working the red eye shift at the local Camberwell market, found this little gem sitting on the bitumen. $20 changed hands and now i have myself a HLT. It has begun.. (everybody cackle manically with me) my modest little brewery, doing what it does best!

    Regulators For Kegging

    I've been brewing for some time now and im seriously considering moving into kegging. The main thing stopping me is the outlay - its gonna be a few gorillas out of the budget to get the setup going, and i have to be able to justify these things to the missus. Ive already lined up taps...
