Fellow Mashers, I'm looking to make a deliciously strong Wee Scotch Heavy style brew, and I need your help as I'm looking for a tried & tested recipe. Things to note: - Never brewed something this strong a beer before (we are talking around the 10%+ABV mark) - I'm using a 40L urn (so BIAB...

So you lot should by now know that I've had two dodgy attempts at AG brewing here in Oz, the ones back home have been fine which made it all the more puzzling. I haven't used an urn before or brewed in a bag but I thought it would be a sinch, which it is but after a fair bit of head scratching...

Hey folks, Looking to buy a heat pad from someone or be pointed in the right direction for one. As ever I don't want to spend too much cash (local homebrew store sells them for $65) so second hand is fine by me. Cheers, Dan

http://gabsfestival.com.au/ So who is going and which session? :-D Would be good to have a Merri Gathering there. I've put through for volunteering but I'm guessing they'll all be filled now.

Any of the Merri Mashers going to this? http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/78508-good-beer-week-gala-showcase/ Sounds great and I'll be popping along to tonight's (Wednesday) session.

Right folks I final got my brew on in Oz! :D Not my first AG but first time using the BIAB method and I love it, real straight forward and doesn't require much change in practice, less things to do really. Didn't quite get the O.G. I wanted (about 0.004 off) but happy that I know the process...

Hello folks, Long story short, I ordered an urn from Nisbets and they sent me the 20L instead of the 40L, this has since been corrected and they have left me with the 20L boiler. So I could add it to my brewhouse but I'm still putting it all together so selling it instead to help fund this...

Hey folks! Organising my brewing equipment here in MELBOURNE and looking for: 2 x 20L Cubes 2-3 x 25L FV's Bonus would be a BIAB bag too but no biggy. :-) I've noticed the thread about cheap cubes/buckets but wait time seems long so checking if anyone can help me out. Cheers, Scotsman Dan

Thought it might be a good idea to kick off this thread (or it may be better individually, anyway). This thread > http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/78238-20l-cubes-5-ea-20l-13l-buckets-5-for-3-melbourne/?view=getnewpost has caught my eye and I would like a few cubes & buckets. Thing is both...

Hello folks! At our last meet Kris (RelaxedBrewer - had all the single hop concoctions) said I could have his fridge as he's upgraded. Brilliant. The problem is my options for transporting it have appeared to run dry, that's where I test the generosity of the new club. ;-) I'm waiting to...

This beer tastes good but massively over carbonated, I'm blaming it on a bad batch. Makes it almost undrinkable really. Anyone else experienced this recently?

So folks not to sound like a stuck record but I'm arriving from Beijing to Melbourne and staying with a mate. I want to get back into brewing (my experience is 6+ months AG, 3 vessel) BUT I'll be on a budget, don't want to fill her house with brewing equipment and I'm not used to the climate of...

Hello folks! Posted a wee bit on here recently but thought it best to introduce myself. From Scotland I've just spent 6 months living in Beijing and I'm heading to Melbourne (north) next week armed with a working travel visa. I have Melbournite friends who are sorting me out with a roof. Back...

Whoaw! This one took me by surprise... Did some beer sampling last night with a few American friends (one being from Vermont where the brewery is located) and one of the beers was this bad boy. In a tin I was a little put off (I'm used to "good beer" being in brown bottles) but was re-assured...

Hello folks! I'm heading to Melbourne in less than two weeks now and I'm formulating a list of pubs and beer shops I need to visit (ideally get a job too, see post here). Now for all you Melbournites where would you recommend? I'm looking for craft beer, good range, knowledgeable staff, etc...

Hello! First post so please be gentle... The title says it all really but let me elaborate. My name is Dan, I'm a 27 year old male from Scotland with a passion for craft beer. I've dabbled with home brewing (started with a partial mash then moved to all grain) since the start of this year and...
