Hey guys and girls, Christ has entered my life and told me to give up brewing so I'm selling everything. I am up in Agnes Water as some of you know but am thinking of putting everything on a trailer and heading to Brisbane if I get enough interest. So far all I can think of is this: Marga...

Hey guys. I have had the same old LG TU500 phone for about 5 years. I was sure I set it up to save my contacts onto the phone and not the sim card but guess I didn't. Now it just says the dreaded 'Please insert SIM' no matter which phone I put it in. Has anybody ever got there contacts off a...

Here's the question. I have not been brewing much due to a problem with excess bitterness, I will post about this in a different thread. This leaves me tea totalling or buying from Dan Murphys. Every visit to Dan's I seem to reach for the old faithful LCPA. What else do you guys buy when you...

Hi again, I am off to the big smoke again and am wondering if anybody can recommend some accomodation for myself and my wife and our 4 month old on the Gold Coast. We are after somewhere relatively cheap with a cot or bassinet being an important option. We are flying out of Coolangatta the...

I'm coming down to Brisbane on possibly the worst day to catch up with people. A. It's short notice B. It's on a Sunday C. It's this Sunday after most of the BABBS boys have had much more fun at Murray's. I've been out of the loop for a while beer wise. Can somebody educate me on what's...

I lashed out before Christmas and got an entire carton of Murray's Nirvana Pale Ale from the recently opened Dan Murphys in Bundaberg. A carton being 4 x 4packs. When I got it home it was bloody terrible. Something had gone hideously wrong with transport and storage. It was acidic and way...

When I got my nasa and brewstand I put up a pic of it all proud as punch and some nerdy safety wanker said he didn't like the look of the orange hose that close to the burner. HA! I said. It stood up to about 20 or 30 AG brews and then one day getting close to the boil my wife and I heard a...

I am off to Sydney for the Christmas break to catch up with some relatives. I can see no reason why I should not enjoy a few pleasant ales in my town of birth during this visit. I have had a bit of a search on this part of the forum and turned up some hits on Paddy's brewery in Flemington...

Should have taken a few shots before this stage, under this cane mulch is a layer of rocks, you can make them out in the bed on the right which will be next. Over the rocks is a layer of cardboard to try and smother any grasses or weeds coming up from below. Here you can see my darling wife...

We are about to get a new gas cook top and as avid fish eaters want one of the ones with the long fish frying burner in the middle. Here's where I'm lost. Where can I get a long fish fry pan from? I've googled 'fish fry pan', 'fish griddle' amongst others and can't find anything that looks...

Dear Penthouse, I never thought I'd be writing into Forum but you won't believe what happened to me yesterday. While I was visiting the city I had to go to one of the top floors of a commercial building and as it was late in the afternoon I got an elevator to myself. On the second or third...

Found the below post while trolling away about my new adventure into the world of chilling. Thought I'd take this guys advice and look for the correct type of vinegar. All the cheapy vinegar I have looked at so far list the ingredients to be 'vinegar' It's no biggy but the quote below does...

I have read lots of threads about chillers and have decided to try an immersion chiller first. Looking at the prices I got quoted from Tradelink and another mob up here for 18m of 1/2 inch pipe the CFC would be cheaper, they wanted $150 to $170 for a roll! One of the threads I read mentioned...

I have no idea what I have done to my copy of beersmith but the font size has shrunk dramatically. I have been into tools, options but can't seem to find anything to change it back to a readable (at my age) size. Any help would be appreciated. Henno

Thought I'd show some of my favourite pics at the moment. Here's some youtube action of the same day. No animals were harmed in the making of this movie. Anybody else with some nice arty pics that have a beer in them or even the brewery in the background?

Below is something I picked up at the tip yesterday for $30, haggled em down from $40, for a piece of somebody's rubbish I still don't feel that clever. I liked the look of the pulleys on it as I have been having trouble getting any for my millmaster. Problem was the tip dudes won't let you...

Thought I may start a bit of a thread to see how many foodies stop to take a happy snap of what they are eating that night if it is really yummy. Today is an afd but no reason for dinner to be a dead loss. Tonight at the casa del Henno it was plain pan fried fish cooked in nothing but oil and...

So I have built this new herms system but don't really know how to use it so I'm standing there with strike water ready and grain crushed but feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all so I am looking like this:

Ok, I know the purests will not put anything in their sausages except meat, fat and spices but I really quite like the texture of store bought snags. Please don't stone the blasphemer. I have tried bread crumbs but ended up with a strange wet sandwich kind of texture. I then got given a...

So here is my herms so far, pathetic I know. The pump will be mounted properly and permanent wiring completed this week. The return back to the MT still has me puzzled. It is currently just my old braid manifold that will sit on the grain bed that just dangles over the top, this will no doubt...
