Hi All, Not sure if anyone is interested, but if you have done a electric brewery control panel before you will appreciate the value of a good plastic box. De Youngs Salvage in O'Sullies had 2 of these (I bought one, the other is still there). $20 is what I paid for mine. Some of the components...

At Dans (in SA at least), name says it all. You need to be a member (free), and the sign says there is a limit of 3 per member per day (although my guy told me it was a misprint and I could get as many as I liked). Regular price is $22.49. I have never tried it before, but hopefully its good...

Hi All, I have a small upright freezer which I have been using for a fermentation chamber for the last couple of years. The compressor works and it makes the side of the freezer cold, but apparently not cold enough for a 40 degree day (as my Hoegaarden that fermented out in <24 hours will...

Hi All, I was lucky enough to get sent to Belgium for 3.5 weeks in December for work, and managed to score myself these bad boys... Currently sitting in my fridge as I am worried they might spoil in the hot weather! Wondering whether I should drink them now or let them age...? I also figure...

So I finally started upgrading my single batch 3v benchtop electric and gas brewrig to a double batch HERMS. I bought myself a bench, a 75L pot, and dusted off a 10L Birko and a keg with pre-welded sockets that have been in my shed for years and arranged it all together like its setup and ready...

Hi All, Not sure if this has been posted about before but someone sent me this job ad... https://au.oneshiftjobs.com/job/beer-tasters-wanted-25ph-microbrewery-retail-christmas-casual-adelaide-186615/ $25 per hour for tasting and giving feedback about Micro brewed beers. There must be a...

I have been searching for over 12 months for a cheap and simple sparge arm/hose holder for my setup, finally found what I was looking for tonight. $7 from cheap as chips!

Found this while shifting house. Apparently it's not possible to brew without a pressure cooker...

Lion has started an initiative on educating the public on nutrition information about beer. The world of beer section is interesting at least, has ingredients listed for all Lion beers: http://www.beerthebeautifultruth.com/ Nothing you probably couldn't gather elsewhere, but I managed to kill...

I know this stuff is nothing new, still infuriating... http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/australian-craft-beers-could-be-phased-out-in-local-pubs/story-fneuz92c-1227215223204

Hey all, I spent the weekend back on my family farm and picked up a whole heap of "wild peaches" as we used to call them, I love this fruit. Quite mealy flesh, reasonably sour/bitter, but with a big variation between different fruits. They are good to eat fresh, but a completely different beast...

Hey all, bought this little beauty on Gumtree yesterday. As you can (just) see from the pictures it is actually refrigerated and includes a compressor on the end there. Unfortunately the existing compressor is ancient and will never run again. Although I think it is very cool, and well worth...

Hey, Not sure if I am going to get my arse kicked for having this in the wrong forum, but thought people might be interested. South Australian Pint glasses (425mL) at Dan Murphys are around $4.70 for a half dozen (can't remember exact price but <$5). I was going to hire glassware for a party I...

Hi All, Went for a little spin to the HBS the other day and amongst other things I decided to pick up some ingredients for my Weisse that I have planned (based on Les's Schneider Weisse-style). Unfortunately the LHBS didnt have Hallertauer and I needed Fuggles for another brew, so I thought...

Hi all, My brother is setting up a bar in his back shed and he has bought a font from the UK on ebay. It looks a bit different from the ones you get here, and he is after some advice on how to hook it up. I haven't seen it in person yet (he lives a long way from me) so I cant speak for the...

Hi all, currently on a 2 year working holiday in the UK and thought I would share some holiday snaps... Is it really?!? How long have I been over here...? Yes we all know about it, but I still cant get over this! A bottle of Leffe I bought from my local SPAR On closer inspection!! A...

Hi All, I have been living in Mid-Wales for about a month now in a little village called Bow Street, near Aberystwyth. As it was a bit un-economical to drag over my brewing equipment, I am now a pub drinker searching for the UK's best pints. I am currently working in a local pub that has two...

Hey guys, Just asking a question on behalf of a mate (who is at work at the moment). He has a party tomorrow, and has dutifully been brewing up a ultra light/dry k&k for the swill lovers. He wants to keg it tonight, and would like to filter / clarify it to within an inch of its life. He is...

Hi guys, sorry for the double post, but I realsied that the other one didnt mention the state or city, and it had the initials WA in the title. Its actually Adelaide SA, Southern Suburbs, would have edited the original post but cant edit the title! Hi All, Having a Garage Sale tomorrow at 14...
