    Thanks Andy, any idea when we can expect to see the comp results if we didn't enter online?

    VICBREW 2014

    Brewed my winning IIPA in a $50 plastic fermenter, a $60 plastic bucket tun and an $80 aluminium 22L pot on my crappy stovetop in my kitchen and got 120.5pts. Thanks Martin, I'll take mine down on Friday.

    Thanks Martin. I'll have to work out how to get out to my drop-off point then, none of them are close to Coburg... And the drugs don't work, they just make me worse... :blink:

    Thanks for everyone who judged this competition, and all the stewards who got free beer and food (kidding). Seems I (Martin Pribble) took out the gong for best IPA with a not too shabby score of 120.5, which I am stoked about, because I've never entered a beer in a competition before, and I...

    El Dorado

    I'm about to do a hoppy red ale with El Dorado as the hero, along with a healthy serve of Centannial and Columbus. It's an attempt at a clone of Black Market's "Invasion" Imperial Red. I'm looking forward to the results. Recipe here at BrewToad (no affiliation)...

    Whats this for?

    It fits in the back of your plastic tap, facing upward, to keep the trub from flowing directly into the outlet. It should just slot in there. EDIT: Here's an image of it of place (from a google search)

    Strongest ABV% commercial Aussie beer ?

    Moondog JTS is the biggest locally produced beer I have found. I liked it so much I bought 3 bottles and cellared them. On a different note, my favourite higher alc local beer I've tried recently was "The Druid" by 3 Ravens. Only 11% (!!) but an amazing brew, if you like the more...

    VICBREW 2014

    A quick (maybe stupid) question about judging. There are 25 prize categories, some with as many as 9 subcategories. Are prizes given to the main categories only taking the subcategories as part of the main category, or are they awarded to the subcategories? EG is there an award for 17.2 Saison...

    Hello from Melbourne Australia

    @ DJ_L3ThAL Yeah I've been to his shop before, he's pretty good from my experience too. But the convenience of getting it delivered is just too good. Means I have to be organised and know exactl what I want to make. @ Forever Wort I might have to check that out. My missus is a bit miffed at me...

    Comment by 'scientzing4beer' in media 'Stainless discoloration'

    I reckon PWB might remove that from your stainless. It will strip back to metal, which as stated above, will re-oxidise over time. I personally don't like to scrub anything for dear of micro-fissures that can harbor nasties, but it's probably ok on stainless. It works a treat on my...

    Hello from Melbourne Australia

    Yeah, Prince Imperial, it's a good one that. Unfortunately I have since found out that Phoenix Beers (the distributor for Brew Dog) won't be bringing any more in until mid next month, so I may need to postpone the monthly tasting until then. In the meantime I'm trying to track down a bottle of...

    Hello from Melbourne Australia

    Well I'm not a scientist, just a casual pop-sci lover, mostly because of my disliking of pseudoscience and the damage it causes. Both my parents were scientists, dad a freshwater biologist and mum worked in medicine, so it kinda rubbed off on me.

    Hello from Melbourne Australia

    Oh and yes I'm a scientz fan. Beer is a scientz and I enjoy the knowledge and the chemistry behind it as well as, well, I get to drink my results!

    Hello from Melbourne Australia

    Hey thanks for the replies! I'm in Coburg. Nice place but too far from all the quality homebrew shops. Do most of my ordering online these days. I'm planning a super hoppy turbocharged red ale soon. In the meantime I'm waiting for my latest RIS to condition... patiently-ish.

    I tried compmaster but it didn't work. Sent me to a dead end page. My entries were all on paper (and in bottles of course). Anyway I'll keep coming back to check the progress. I assume my beers are in there somewhere ;-)
