I'm currently organizing a quarterly mead catchup in the Newcastle area, the first meet of 2018 is penciled in for March. For anyone around the Newcastle/Central Coast/Hunter area who's brewed a mead in the past and is interested in chatting all things honey, let me know and I'll send over some...

For a standard full 19L keg I use the Ross method to carb it, goes great and no issues. However I'm currently doing some experimental 4L batches (mainly mead) and carbing these up in the 19L kegs, so a lot of head space. The Ross method of 40psi doesn't work and leaves the mead over carbed...

A friend and I are looking to make up 12 small batch meads, each using the same process/yeast/temp etc, and put a different honey variety in each (to really understand what each honey variety brings to the table). To keep costs down, we're looking to make 1L batches of each, and take a few other...

I've got my wedding next year and plan on asking a few mates to help brew some beer for it. I'll pay for the grain and ideally if they can brew and ferment it, and then I'll bottle it all (as thats the sucky part of the job and I'm happy to take it on). My mates all live in close suburbs, so my...

I'm always trying to head to new breweries near me out when on a trip, what's the best Aussie site that lists all the new breweries that are popping up?

I no chill cube in one of the bunnings 20L blue jerry cans (http://www.bunnings.com.au/icon-plastics-20l-blue-water-jerry-can_p3240530), these cubes JUST fit into my small bar fermenting fridge (width is an issue due to temp controls and freezer section at the top, height is also an issue the...

Currently my process is to ferment in a 20l no chill cube, then transfer this to a bottling bucket and add the required sugar to the bucket to natural carb. I've just had my first kid so time in a big factor, I'm hoping to try bottling from the same no chill cube to save cleaning up time. My...

I Maxi-BIAB so working out my post boil gravity is important to know how much water I need to add to dilute my wort down to the correct OG.I also No Chill so currently I pour the hot wort into the cube, let it chill overnight, then top up with the required water and then add the yeast and begin...

I'm far from being a handy man, and I also like to recycle so when the time came to make an outside bar, here's what I came up with. It's very basic and simple which is what I was after, it's basically 3 pallets I got off gumtree for free and cut/nailed together. For the top I used a spare...

I've got a party coming up soon and hope to make up some mulled cider. I've made a bunch of turbo cider before, the last using some cultivated old Rosie yeast which was nice! The party is in 2 months, so I was thinking brew up 20l and rack to secondary and leave this in the fridge, then before...

Hi, I'm looking to meetup with some local brewers around Sydney's Inner West, so thought I'd write a post to see if there's any take-up! I won't add too much detail until we have a few interested, but was thinking meeting up in a few weeks time on say a Thursday night after work, we could meet...
