The nice bloke at Country Homebrewer in Orange loaned me the devices for converting my chest freezer into a brew fridge. I would like to return them asap. I have 18 days before work takes me away (24 days all up to play with) I put a Wals in last Friday at 10deg C. I'm thinking of taking it out...

Does anyone know what hops Pact Brewery in the ACT use in their 100 Acres IPA? I had a schooner of this beer the other day and it was wonderful.

So l was just in CZ recently and they sell beer in large BROWN PET bottles. They would be great for my hb. 1.5 litres of beer? Perfect! 4 schooies or 6 middies! And l can use my Pat Macs Caps on them and have beer on the table in less than a week! This is good, yes? So, googled around a bit...

Hi, could anyone lend me a bottle capper for this evening in Newcastle please? I'm putting down some stout in some recently acquired longnecks, and I'm a bit wary of the hammer bottle capper as I sliced my thumb and bird finger open last time I used it on a longie which broke. I'll come get it...

What kind of crates can I get for 46 longnecks? Milk crates are too small. 16 or 20 to a crate would be great. Does bunnies have something? It seems an obvious question, but I haven't stored longnecks for 25 years, and back then 30 bottles fit perfectly on each shelf in the linen cupboard !

I'm about to bottle a standard Coopers Extra Stout into 750 ml longnecks. Should I use a level teaspoon or slightly less? I'm just asking coz I've read somewhere that stout is better less fizzy. Any tips please? Thanks.

Hey, I'm going to be in Ghent in a few weeks- which beers should I try? I'm aiming to try a saison as I've never had one. And do they do sour beer? I haven't had that either. Suggestions please!! Thanks.

Hi Fellas, I've been doing some experimenting with hops and small batches. What I've come to like is; 1 can Coopers green and 200 gms dextrose in 14 litres of water (this gives me a nice bitterness) and dry hopping toward the end of ferment. What I'm considering is just fermenting out and...

It appears I've brewed up a few batches of rather strong fusel alcohol. The beer tastes fine and very drinkable save for the splitting head (and I'm quite tolerant to beer induced head pain). Do these nasties subside with time in the bottle? Thanks.

I need a ROUGH guide to estimating FG. As in grams of sugar per litre will give X % alcohol and gm malt/litre = % alcohol. I know I need to take OG to find FG, but I'm knocking out small batches to try different hops, like 8 litres or 10 or 12 etc and need a rough guide. I put far too many...

I'm doing a strong half batch of extract, to get an IPA kind of strength. 1xCoopers APA, 500 gm LDME, 300 gms LME, and 300 gms dextrose in 12 Litres. I'm using the Coopers yeast with the tin. Should I use half of the packet? Thanks.

Which hops can I grow in temperate coastal nsw? Ie Newcastle? And how do I get them? Thanks

Hi blokes, I want to brew up a half batch cheapo AIPA. I'm thinking 1 can of coopers green and 12 gm of cascade in a 10min boil. Maybe make 10or 11 litres. Coopers green isn't very bitter I find, so it'd have double bitterness from the can and just flavour from the cascade. Or maybe the...

Gday everyone. I'm glad to be a newbie on here. I've googled heaps of stuff and ended up at AHB, so I joined up. It said on rego that it'd take 10 minutes and I could do the luminosty challenge. I thought "luminosity this" and went and had a beer. I hope that's ok? Anyway, I've done a few...
