Quick question I've been wondering about for a while. I put down Ross's NZ Golding Best Bitter yesterday and all went smoothly. I had my rehydrating Windsor yeast on the stir plate and chilled my wort down but couldn't getting below 23c without wasting too much water so I decided to pop it in...

I'd lined up a nice JS Pilsner style recipe to brew last Sunday and was looking forward to a nice day in the sun relaxing. Saturday had been a HUGE night and I must admit it was hard getting out of bed but I had beer to brew :) Anyhow to cut a long story short I was setting up my equipment and...

Hi all, this is my first thread on AHB :beerbang: I've decided to make the move to AG and have been looking and reading, reading and looking for a suitable drink cooler to mash in. I was down at K-Mart yesterday and found a cooler called the "Bubba Keg" - yep funny American name huh (Bubba...
