    Hi people! Does anyone know if you can get these (in the link below) in Australia? I have seen them on eBay, but the shipping from the US is pretty expensive!!! Does anyone use something similar to get a good whirlpool? Cheers

    Melbourne Bottle Shops

    Hi All, Can anyone recommend where I should go to get some good Craft Beer in Melbourne, to take home? I'm not from the area (obviously), but will have some time there this week, so I wouldn't mind upping the stocks in the bar fridge. I'll be in the city, and around Moonee Ponds area. Thanks...

    So, next weekend is my Brothers Buck's party in Bangkok - Most people who hear that immediately mention the hangover... Anyway, in doing some homework on Bangkok as I've never been before, I found this Bar which opened not too long ago. Just wondering if anyone has been there, or had friends go...

    Wrong Hops!?

    So I just started my brew, and I have realised the brew shop got my order wrong. My fault for not checking, so I can't blame them. My brew is already well under way (as I type). Question is - Can I boil some water for say 15 minutes and throw the hops in that, then add to the fermenter when it...

    Will I need a whirlfloc tablet?

    Quick question - I'm brewing an imperial coffee stout tonight, but just realised I have no whirlfloc tabs left. I'll be putting about 10 grams of coffee at the end of the boil and another 10 as a dry hop. Will I need a whirlfloc for this?? I haven't used coffee before, so I'm not sure what...

    Low Gravity!

    I've just done a BIAB - About 5.8 Kgs of grain in total. Pre Boil Volume was 30L (calculated by Beersmith) My gravity is about 1.042. It should be 1.062!!!! Any ideas on how I can fix this, or am I going to have to throw it away? I've done a very similar recipe before with no drams. No idea...

    Hop Combinations with Cascade...?

    Just wondering how Cascade hops would work alongside Citra and Galaxy? I've never used it before... I'm about to brew a beer I have done before, using Citra only. I want to pimp it up a bit and put my own twist on it as it is a clone recipe. I thought some galaxy late in the boil would be...

    Where to go in Adelaide?

    I'm staying right near Hindley st & Morphett st for a couple of nights with Work - Sadly it's a Monday and Tuesday, so options will be limited. Can anyone recommend a place with a good beer selection and decent pub grub - Burgers, Parma's etc? Cheers

    Cold Crash - Frozen!

    So, my brew has frozen during the cold crash! I didn't think my fridge would manage that, but here we are... Will this still be ok to bottle once it has thawed out??? Cheers

    Way too low for OG!?

    So I've just finished my first BIAB (first All Grain for that matter!!) which is an IPA I have 12L with a gravity of 1.052 - this should be the gravity at 19L! Should I put some dextrose in so I can take the beer further, or just leave the beer as it is,and scale back the dry hop additions...

    "Split" brew in a bag...?

    I can't see an issue here, but will I have any dramas in doing a BIAB with two kettles instead of one? Will the grain to water ratios be an issue if I end up combining the two of them for the boil? Cheers.

    Converting recipe to BIAB

    Hi All, Just wondering if I need to know any tricks / secrets for doing a BIAB with a traditional All Grain recipe? I haven't done an All Grain Brew before, and I thought BIAB would be my best option for my first attempt, with the limited equipment I have. Do I have to do anything different...

I know University of Ballarat has a course (goes for 2 years!), but I haven't really been able to find anything else. Can anyone suggest one which is beneficial, or even any quality books to read to help with my...

    Help!?Washing Yeast - First effort

    I have just washed yeast for the first time. It's a wyeast 1968. I can't seem to define the layer between the trube and the Yeast. The brew had a large dry hop addition - 100gms - is this why it seems to have that green tinge through it? Have I somehow ruined this, or does it need more time...

    Under-pitching Yeast

    Just wondering what would happen if I pitched an amount of yeast (Wyeast 1968) made for 19L in 23L of wort, what would happen? Would it ruin a brew, take longer to reach FG or anything else I can't think of...? Cheers
