    Home Brewers Fined

    Can't blame the neighbours for complaining in the NT case.The customers probably weren't too demanding re the quality of the brew.He was selling it for $5 for a 2 litre bottle and it may have been costing him less than $1 a bottle.

    Real Low Alcohol Beer

    I suggest you try the calculator at http://www.brewcraft.com.au/wa.asp?idWebPa...p;idDetails=172 It includes .5% alcohol for the carbonation sugar. I also suggest that you make very small batches of 2-3 litres until you get the right flavour and bearable body.I agree Birells is not too bad...

    What Do You Use To Stick And Remove Labels On Bottles?

    I print small labels and get 30 on less than one sheet of plain A4 paper. I use Coopers PET bottles and stick the labels on using a glue stick from Coles and use just enough glue to stick the label on.The labels float off during a one hour soak in a bleach solution in a laundry tub during...

    St Peters Fresh Wort Kits

    I brewed their Czech Pilsner after adding 5 litres of water.The OG was 1040 and after 3 weeks in the fermenter with S189 yeast the FG was 1010.It will have been two weeks in the bottle on Friday when I intend to have my tasting check.After adding the sugar for carbonation the ABV is around 4.5%.
