Greetings all, Have tidied up the hop yard this morning and have the following rhizomes for sale. Price is $10 per rhizome plus postage at buyer's cost (will be express post satchels to get them to you fast!). Strong preference for posting (won't be shipping to WA or Tassie). Pick ups can be...

Greetings all, Have tidied up the hop yard this morning and have the following rhizomes for sale. Price is $10 per rhizome plus postage at buyer's cost (will be express post satchels to get them to you fast!). I have some smaller rhizomes for some of the varieties and these are $5 each. I also...

I don't brew all that many overly hopped beers, but am keen to punch out a black IPA to use up some of my home grown flowers. Keen for an idiot check on the hop schedule to make sure I'm on the right path! Warrior at 60 mins for 30 IBUs Amarillo pellets at 10 mins for 15 IBUs 50g each of...

Seems like there is a growing interest in all things funky/sour beers - chatting with JB the other night and we thought it'd be a good idea to put the feelers out for a funky case swap. Standard case swap methodology, except beers entered must be intentionally soured/funked (eg, sour mash...

Spotted Chinook and Pride of Ringwood hop plants for sale at CERES Nursery (Brunswick East) this afternoon. $29.95 a pop and the plants looked really healthy (each one has at least one really good looking bine). Quite late in the season to be planting, but putting it out there for those who may...

G'day all, Just wondering whether anyone had any spare milk crates or similar (legally acquired of course) kicking around their shed that were no longer needed? After around 6 or so. Am located in the eastern burbs of Melbourne. Thanks.

Evening all, Am keen to brew a Russian Imperial Stout for next winter, but really only need 10L of RIS so thought I'd give a parti-gyle a crack. Using this table (http://morebeer.com/brewingtechniques/library/backissues/issue2.2/moshertable.html) it would seem a 1.060 brew can be split 1/3 at...

Just sampling my first lager, a pilsner with Mouteka and nelson sauvin. First time using this hop combo too - well worth trying for those who haven't before. I'm getting a strong aroma and flavour of lychees. Delicious!

Just cracked my first bottle of my first AG...bloody hell that's a tasty drop! I can see this will soon become a very slippery slope...thanks again to all of those who helped me along the way with my first AG.

Smells bloody amazing! Hit 66.1C - those strike water calculators are pretty damn spot on! Now the waiting begins...

G'day all, In prep for my first AG tomorrow, thought I'd give my OTS element (2400kw) a crack in 30L water in my 50L keggle. While what I achieved was a slow boil, the temp would not go above 97C. I've already insulated the keggle with a camping mat to help. The water in the pot was definitely...

Arvo all, Feeling a cool evening coming on, I decided to sneak a long neck of porter into the fridge to chill down a bit, not that it's really needed today in melbs. Later, while getting milk out for a cuppa, I knocked said long neck out of the fridge and onto the tiles...filling my kitchen...

G'day all, Discovered my first bottle bomb today...obviously quite worried now that the rest is about to go up in a blaze of glass and frothy beer. I've had a bit of a read and it would seem re-capping the batch could be a way to salvage the batch. Anyone had luck with this? Will it impact on...

G'day all, Am about to take the plunge for the first time with liquid yeast and have bought a pack of WY1469 - West Yorkshire Ale. Having had a quick search on the forum and google, this yeast seems to produce a pretty hefty krausen. I'm looking at a 23L batch in a 30L fermentor. My question...

G'day all, Just wondering if anyone in Melbourne had any crown seal bottles lying around that they no longer needed and were willing to pass on as I've had a recent surge in brewing and am starting to run low! Thanks in advance.
