I made my first toucan brew today :) used a Thomas Coopers selection wheat beer tin 1.7 kg and a Morgans master malt wheat extract tin1.5 kg, made it up to 20 litres. Being in the mid thirties today in toowoomba I put some ice in the fermenter to get it down to 20 degrees before pitching the...

I was at my local HBS today and I noticed they had kettle fresh wort kits for sale. They are all grain brews in a variety of styles ( 200 lashes, corona, Aussie gold and so forth ) made up to 20L, pour into fermenter and add yeast. I have been toying with the idea of going all grain for a while...

So I was doing a job at this old guys place a while back and he fermented his beer in old broccoli eskies with a wet towel over the top. Then used a hand syphon to bottle his brew. Just wondering if anyone has seen or heard of anything as unusual/weird as this?
