I scored an old bar fridge from work. It was being thrown out because the thermostat doesn't work. It needs a couple of bits cut off the inside of the door for a fermenter to fit and the hinges have been bodged a bit but it's free to anyone who wants it. I'm in Redcliffe but could deliver...

Kmart Homemaker Mincers on clearance for $29. I know they're a bit cheap and cheerful but I wanted to have a crack at sausage making and couldn't justify spending mega-bucks on a mincer. Your local store may have some or none but Toombul in Brissy had 25 when I was there yesterday. Just got to...

To celebrate the 252nd bithday of Robert Burns on the 25th I'll be having a brew day on Saturday 22nd. You all know the format by now; mash in later than you had hoped, try and squeeze in a double batch, something goes horribly wrong and everyone stands around offering useless criticism. :P...

I went into the Post Office with my entry for AABC and they refused to accept it for posting. The reason I was given was that they don't take beer because it's pressurised. The bottle was packed in a winepak they sold me and although it's beer, not wine, here's what their posting guide has to...
