Evening all I find myself at the Brisbane airport after a very looong week on Lihir Islands (A saller group of islands off the top right of the main(er) land PNG). Beer scene at the mine site was limitted to say the least but a can of 'SP Lager' was suprisingly refreshing at the end of a day...

Hi guys... Well as plans for my first trip to Europe (belated honemoon) become more real I find myself struggling with an itinerary.. The plan so far is to spend a week in Lybia. Then onto France for my Father-in-laws 60th. Then I've got a week to kill before heading off to visit rellies in...

This tidy piece of kit fell into my lap a few months ago. Its a 60 litre all s/s cylindroconical insulated vessel on s/s legs. 1/2" drain, 2x 2" nipples + another 1/2" nipple near the top. In its past life it had a 2" screw-in immersion element in it and was used for heating something evil I'm...

While down in the south-west recently I popped into the new Jarrah Jacks Brewery (teamed up in new building with woodsmoke estate wines) near Pembereton. The guys here have spent a bit of cash on this baby. Bit early to tell how this place will turn out.... The current line up of beers is pretty...

Howdy all... I recently helped organise a bulk hop order for The WestCoast Brewers... We ended up ordering just under $1000 worth of plugs!.... It was fun bagging this lot. My house smelt great!!! Due to having to order in 140 plug lots we have a few left over.... If anyone is interested in...

Howdy All I usually use 'Muntons extra light Spraymalt' (DME) to make my starters. I get it from a dodgy homebrew shop close by.... Its the only thing they have that I'd buy (I should have seen this coming a mile away!). They don't stock grains or much liquid yeast. and hops still hang on the...

Loopy land pub..

Hi All, Just got a question for ya Is the diastic power of Rauch (smoked) Malt high enough to do a 100% mini mash with it or do I need some other base malt in there to aid conversion? I'm planning a split batch (40L) of Oktoberfest where I want to add some Rauch Malt to one half. So I was...

Hi guys... I was down at the OSB (Old Swan Brewery) Chatting to Hugh (The brewer there. A good bloke Has a Rauchbier on tap ATM!) on the weekend. He mentioned WA Beer week was back on this year after last years was canceled due to John Stallwoods (Nail Ale Brewer) accident. He wasnt sure if...
