Glenbar Lager Link Saw this advertised for sale at the coming Castlemaine Farmers market. The only all Aussie organic malt beer. Apparently. They might need to double check that as they are also making this claim: Glenbar Lager is a modern Pale Ale style (4.5%) It has a rich honey amber...

Brewers Family and I heading from Melbourne to the (vacant) in laws place in Bondi for Xmas and New Years. I've been to Sydney CBD enough times, but never out to Bondi. I know this is Sydney we are taling about, ;) but are there any decent pubs or at least suppliers of real beer in the local...

Hi All My brother has a Guinness keg. Wonderful news. :party: Now, I've drank oceans of the stuff but I've never tapped one. A bit confused about which coupler should be used. I haven't been round to see him, but I'm thinking as it's locally brewed then surely this should be a CUB keg...

G'day all Im going up to Sydney this weekend. Staying in Pitt St. Need some advice, Is there anywhere I shouldn't miss? (Im sure this is covered somewhere else, but I can't find it. Link me to it if you can) I've been to Red Oak and I'll go in again this time. I've also been to the Melbourne...

"Prisoners in a South Australian jail have been using fermented fruit pulp to mix up a potent and illegal home brew...." :super: Link They haven't really followed the BIAB process exactly to the letter. Bread, Fruit, table Sugar, 12%!!! :blink: I'm guessing they've used some sort of...

was just on the phone to G&G ordering a few bits for the weekend & John tells me they are having a 20% discount sale until Saturday (1pm) :icon_chickcheers: Awesome Beer is 10% off, but almost everything else is 20%. Inlcuding my gas bottle refill. Sweet. Just a happy customer, no...

Anyone who has spent some time in NZ will know that pound for pound, they have the Aussie micro scene on the canvas....(perhaps, IMO :ph34r: ) Up until now I've only been able to find Emmersons over here. That is until I saw this on the Purvis Cellars web site...

Hi After much deliberation, I am putting this beauty up for offers. It is a Lancer Pacific 4 tap flooded font, ripped from a Christchurch pub (hence the Montieths, CD etc) and includes the 4 taps, which are in good working order. It's missing 1 fish eye and a decal, but these are available...

I've heard on the hop vine that Mountain Goat have stopped bottling their IPA in favour of their Steam Ale. It's been a while since I've been in to the MG bar, but I reckon, like the IPA, the Steam ale uses organic grain. I'll miss the IPA. :(

Hi Does anyone know the diameter of the perforations in the Beer Belly false bottom? The old man is going to build one for me. He has a load of 1.8mm aperture SS mesh. Looks suitable, but would be interested in knowing what the BB one is. Cheers Paul

I've had this flash looking device sitting round for a couple of years. Came with the pile of crap left in my garage when I moved in. ABB TB84 pH & ORP Analyzer Blurb and Specs I have no electronics or chemistry background at all, but it seems to be a controller of some sort. It can do things...

Anyone know where I can swap a BOC Co2 cylinder on a Sunday? Can't find anywhere :( People coming over today for cricket! Something crazy happened in the heat yesterday. Cylinder and bar are out in garage. Went to get a beer at about 7pm and found pressure was up to about 250 and the other...

The consensus seems to be for March. Some of the guys involved have already advised of dates they can't do. Barra is out after the 20th and John Fraser needs to go to a Highlander festival (good movies ;)) on the 14th & 15th. Which really only leaves the 7th or 8th. So bear that in mind, but...

I'm spending too much money on this beer. Anyone want to help me out with suggestions on a 23L? Reckon I'm still too novice to try putting recipe's together from scratch. I've read around some posts and it apparently (and somewhat counter intuitively for an English bitter) uses US-05 yeast...

my beautiful looking oatmeal stout has been sitting in it's cube for two weeks. All good, all as usual. Then today I drag it out and find the whole thing has blown up like a balloon. She also doesn't smell the best. I fear the worst has happened. I searched and couldn't find anything in the no...

Was reading in another post that one brewer was using 25L jerry cans as fermenters. Got me thinking. Why are all fermenters cylindrical anyway? Is this for ease of manufacture or perhaps ease of cleaning? Or is there a more 'beer quality' relevant reason? The commercial guys all use conicals...

Based on the segue way in discussion in this thread: Vic Brewers Xmas Case Swap. Post #190 onwards. It seems like there might be interest in a scaled down version of the Xmas and July swaps, occurring in the down time in between. Personally, with young kids and other commitments (SWMBO), I'd...

I spent much of my early 20's living and drinking vast amounts of mega brew in Richmond/Fitzroy/Collingwood. All the good pubs had at least one 'Richmond Lager' poster or bottle up on the wall. Often wondered about it and what led to it's demise. Then to my surprise I see slabs of it in the...

no affiliation etc etc $59 on special. Cheap as I've seen them. No regulators in stock at the moment. Cellar Plus in Peel St http://www.cellarplus.com.au I'ts getting exciting in my garage. 2 x 50L kegs converted & now 1 x burner. A new manifold for the esky and I've almost got a my AG...

Hi All This is all the info I have so far, but it looks grim at this point. I can't tell you who or where the brewing takes place, but I suggest brimstone is a workplace hazard. :unsure: Decoding the media blurb below, "good honest" probably means "shithouse and easy to ingest quickly" and I...
