    Queensland Breweries: Which ones are the best to visit?

    Brewhouse Brisbane at Wooloongabba or Brisbane Brewing Co at West End - same people and they make their own beer. The Brisbane Pale Ale isn't bad. I think you'd call it a brewpub more than a brewery though. Nobody's mentioned the XXXX brewery yet. It's actually not bad and fairly interesting to...

    Bottle Weights (g/mL) and carbonation levels - graph

    German beer bottles are directly recycled so they're pretty good. We were at the Weihenstephaner brewery a few years back and went down to the bottling area and saw a bunch of other brand old beer bottles in crates and asked what they were there for. Turns out they get checked by a machine and...

    2015 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hop Garden!

    G'day everyone. This is a Cascade which my Melbourne sister gave me for Christmas 2 years ago, so it's in its second Summer after a late planting the first year. We're stoked by what we're seeing. We really weren't expecting too much from this, especially as it's in Brisbane. We've also...

    New Australian Style - Experiment Invite/Discussion

    Woah quite a topic - I love it! I agree with basing on Stone & Wood Pacific Ale - that beer changed everything in Australia. I remember the first night me and a couple of mates found it on tap at the Pig & Whistle in Brisbane in 2008 I think or 2007??? We started drinking it at midnight and just...

    Mash Master Mini Mill

    Thanks for all the info everyone, and for those pics gaijin. Finally went to use it the other night. The ebay 12mm-8mm lovejoy coupler had arrived from China (my wife thinks that is hilarious too, especially since it arrived in a nondescript brown bag) but doesn't quite fit so we just directly...

    Mash Master Mini Mill

    Hi everyone, I've just bought one of these from Craftbrewer and I'm guessing people are just attaching the chuck directly to the drive of the mill is this right? I tested this and it seems fine but I've also just ordered one of these spider couplers just to separate things a bit, the advantage...

    St. Austell HSD (Hicks Special Draught)

    Hello Wiggman & Wiggman (haha), I lived in Cornwall a few years ago and fell in love with the local Ales! Proper Job was my favourite. Couldn't get enough and the first thing I do back in the UK is get myself a 'Proper Job' and a proper pastie. I tried to buy some over here and found one...

    Hop plant from Bunnings

    My sister in Melbourne bought one from bunnings and brought it up to Brisbane for a Christmas present. It's going OK in the garden now after, what 3 months. We weren't expecting anything this year with the late planting but fingers crossed for next year. I recall googling it and finding out it...

    the quickest way to get bottles clean enough

    I have a procedure which I've been told is overkill: 1. Visual inspection for gunk. Remove any with bottle brush. You shouldn't have any if you rinse them at time of drinking but that's another story! 2. Spray 1 squirt from dilute bleach mix spray bottle into each bottle and a spray of water 3...

    Hello everyone - New to this, been brewing terrible kit style beer for years but my brother (jpanic) and I and a friend started up with AG BIAB last year with some tasty success. Really appreciate all the info here as it's very Australian specific. Bring on more beer!
