Yep +1 for Hoppy Days. Great service and prices from Steve.

Green Beacon Cross Knot Kolsch is another commercial one you might find out of Brisbane. I haven't tried it but there pale ale is a cracker.

Most disappointing one for me was JS 150 Lashes climbed 49 places to 6! One above 4 Pines Pale. Well done S&W and all the new entries.

I've actually had a few different Kolsch's in Cologne and I must say they are very forgettable. I was always looking for a Dunkel or the like to get some flavor. The missus was drinking it and she hates beer. Good lawnmower beer basically. Oh and the serve it in tiny glasses (200ml) but it's...

Good on ya lickapop for helping new brewers out. My brother lives in the Ville and has just started brewing but isn't at the kegging stage yet.

I agree stu hence why I stated I have never had a failure. Coopers yeast may very well be suited to the lower pitch rate and very tolerant to mishandling. That may not be the case if they repackage various other strains as 7g packs. Would 7g of US-05 be underpitching? Calculators say yes but...

Well it's been the consensus that I have read and while I never used a pitching calculator (but I just did to confirm) a 23L 1.048 beer will be under pitched with 7g of yeast. That's without a starter of course.

I think they are telling porky pies on this one. Looking at the room under the lid I'm sure I could put a packet of US-05 under there. Saying that I never had a failure using 7g Coopers packets but it is certainly underpitching.

Well in the press release it was stated. “A good example of this is the Brew A IPA which has a significant level of both bittering and aromatic hops matched with west coast style yeast which when made as directed will give a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) level, extra hoppy IPA typical of the...

In Cooper's defense the new range has specialist yeast and is hopped more heavily (potentially depending on style) with more expensive hops instead of the usual Coopers yeast which I'm sure at this point cost's them next to nothing but packaging costs and POR hops which is what all the old can's...

Just starting to look into water profiles and this was the latest information I could find for Brisbane and surrounds. Page 46 http://www.urbanutilities.com.au/~/media/quu/pdfs/about%20us/publications/finalq009452015%20drinking%20water%20quality%20management%20plan%20report%202014%2015.ashx

I don't think so Benn. Big W only sell the base range. These are replacing some of the Thomas Coopers range so only available from HBS or Coopers online.

In the picture it looks like multiple kegs in the shape of "tanks". You could be mistaken for thinking it would be gravity cask ale but you wouldn't be serving a lager as cask. Looks like a gimmick.
