    The Millmaster guys will have a new model out in a few months apparently. I'm going to wait for that one.

    Hop Dealz Australia

    I just brewed up an IPA yesterday using Equinox and Cascade that I got from Yob. Not a massive hop bomb but high in my books. I'll dry hop with cascade flowers. 15.0 g Chinook Pellet (11.4% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil) (0.7 g/L) 20.0 g Chinook Pellet (11.4% Alpha) @ 45 Minutes (Boil) (0.9 g/L)...

    Left grain bag in, brought to boil.

    I did this recently with an Amber Ale BIAB. Put the gas back on and headed out to grab a few things from the LHBS, leaving a mate in charge. He called me 15 minutes later saying the temp is at 85. He swtiched off the gas and stirred in some cool water. We pulled the bag and had burnt a hole in...

    European Holiday Synopsis (Italia and Espana)

    My wife and I used AirBnB to travel across France and Spain a couple of years ago. Couldn't recommend it enough. It's a great way to find english speaking owners if you don't speak their language and great to enjoy a hearty breakfast with them and their families. I enjoyed this as much as seeing...

    Pig on a Spit?

    My tip is fill it with apples. It adds so much to the flavour of pork and it also keeps it nice and moist.

    Grain ordering mishap. Solutions?

    If you drop in 35kgs of Ale malt then you could mix it all up and divide into 10 separate batches and then maybe offer them up for sale on here? If you were in Adelaide I would have gladly taken two lots off your hands. Would you be keen to organise postage?

    Weldless tap measurement CUB keggle

    The most common measurement I've seen is 3.75" from the bottom of the keg. I used a step drill to drill mine out so you can get it perfect. They're cheap as on eBay and last forever. I drilled every hole in my shed, when building it, with one of these and it's still going...

    2015 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hop Garden!

    My freezer is now full. The Mrs isn't too impressed so I think i'll need to turn on the freezer in the shed and moves these guys out there. But she's certainly happy that there's nothing more to pick as I've spent a lot of time out there in the garden recently. I also tallied up my harvest...

    2015 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hop Garden!

    Thats about what I aimed for mofox1, around 30%. The cones were very papery and dry at that stage.

    2015 Hop Plantations, Show Us Your Hop Garden!

    Wow thats some serious crops right there glenos, mofox1 and carniebrew I picked the last of my hops last night. 255gms of Chinook which went straight into a hops sock, after being chopped up, and into my APA thats on day 4 of fermentation. I also got 350gms of Cascade to finish off the season.

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    My brother dropped past there on Friday night and there was nothing on the shelf. They had a little bit out the back but basically all gone. Nothing but praise for the APA which was all he could get. I'm going to try them later in the week to see if they've got anymore.

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    I don't think you can sample the goods at the brewery at Pirate Life as yet. But I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you dropped past and said hi. You can sample at the Gilbert St Hotel in the CBD. Not sure of others as yet. Or grab the tram down to goodwood road and walk to Goodwood cellars...

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    My pubs of choice in the CBD would be the following, not in any particular order... Earl Of Leicester - Big parmys and Mismatch on Tap but slightly out of the CBD Coopers Ale House - Big Parmys and a good range of beers Ying Chow - Lineups out the door but totally worth it Jack Ruby - Expensive...

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    The Prancing Pony is at Mt Barker so a little difficult to get to without a car. Unless you are keen for a bus ride, it takes a bit more than a half hour. Hahndorf has Gulf Brewery on the main st, which is really just a small bar where you can drink his beers. I've never tried them but recently...

    Advice using fresh hops in secondary please?

    I have no idea what the results are but I dropped 90gms wet each into an APA and an IPA last weekend. Both brews already had over 100gms of hop pellets so not sure how much more it'll add. I put them into the fermenter loose, all chopped up, and poured the wort in on top. I'm going to do the...
