Hi everyone, I know this is a bit random and out of the blue, but I am chasing about 100g of carafa special III grain for a brew I'm doing on Sunday. I'm in the northern suburbs of Perth, and would like to avoid a trip to Bibra Lake if at all possible. I'm more than happy to throw a couple of...

Allo all, I'll be flying into sunny Qld shortly for a bit of a holiday (it's only 20 hours flying time from Zambia). The beers out here are average lagers, so I am in dire need of something tasty with a goood bit of flavour. I have heard great things about the Platform bar at Central station...

So you work in Zambia, and only earn a few dollars per day. What do you drink after a hard days work? Beer costs about $1.20 each, making it far too expensive. You need something cheap, dirt cheap, and this is where Chibuku (known as shake shake) comes in. You can pick this up for ZMK3000 a...

Allo, I've got a collector friend over here, who is chasing a glass - brasserie style, any size (285, 425 or 570ml), with a red coopers logo. He can find black, gold and green logols, but not red. this glass looks like so: I'm more than happy to cover postage, and throw a few bucks your way...

Yes, I am still alive, thanks for asking :) I purchased a fridgemate about 2 years ago, never quite got around to setting it up. And of course when i want to do it now, I can't find the bloody temperature probe. So...how do I fix this? - is there an off the shelf equivalent, from the reading...

This thingy here: Anyone know where I can get one. None of the usual suspects have them listed.

You know, lower temps, woodchips and all that kind of malarkey. Has anyone done it? More importantly do you have idiotproof plans for building one? I saw a simple one with an inverted garbage bin, but I'm wondering what is the best heat source? I'm leaning towards an old electric frypan, or...

As many of you might know, I'm planning a 3 weeks trip for Sep/Oct through Europe, sans SWMBO of course :) I'm flying into Munich for Oktoberfest, then plan on going east to Prague, then back through northern Germant via Berlin, down into Belgium and then across to the UK. A big trip in a...

Hi everybody, We have a treat this month. Our guest speaker will be Richard Moroney, head brewer from the soon to be opened Mad Monk brewery. I'm sure he'll be most imformative. Other things happening: - June comp - winter warmers. Get your brews ready for the comp next month, and maybe...

It's a larf. http://www.strangebrew.ca/beername.php?Mode=Generate

Tonight I brewed the biggest beer I've ever done. It's a belgian dark strong, in the style of rochefort 10, not a direct clone per se. I was aiming for the magical 1.100, and almost got there, being a bit under gravity and a bit over on volume (was working off a 20 litre batch). Oh well, it'll...

A friend has asked me to do a wee heavy for him, so I need the right yeast. If anyone has a sample of 1728, I'd be most appreciative. Cheers :beer: edit: gah! I'm currently doing a Belgian using 1762, I want 1728. Stupid brain! (and I'm not even drinking). Could a mod please edit the title so...

A friend of mine manages one of the best bottleshops on the Northside of Perth, the Wellington St bottle in Morley. They get most of thier imports from the IBS, so thier range is great. They're currently looking for people for afternoon/evening shifts (2pm starts) on Wednesday, Friday and...

Ok, just a quick one. I have a standard fridge/freezer combo, and I want to add a temperature controller for the fridge part. My question is will the temperature in the freezer section be affected? ie. Does the freezer have a seperate thermostat?

I was at a party last night, and somebody there had a case of 588ml bottles of little creatures. Nice thick glass, crown seal, should be a winner. Sounds the perfect size for pouring a pint, and leaving a tiny bit of sediment behind.

I just scored a work junket to sunny Adelaide, for training porpoises or something. I managed to get it for a Thu/Fri, and tack on the weekend. So that means I'll be in Adelaide on August 10th - 13th. Can anyone suggest anything interesting to do for Friday and Saturday night? It would be nice...

I was at the local bottlo tonight while waiting for my turkish pide (salami, cheese and egg), and spotted loose bottle of swan stout and cooper best extra stout on sale for $2 each. I thought why the hell not? Got it home, and the swan is a cracker. A nice thick 7.4%, very chocolatey with a...

Well since nobody else has put up thier hand, I'll host the next AHB gathering, in the wilds of Morley. It will be a good excuse for me to commission my new 58 litre converted-keg boiler. Being at the cooler end of the year, I think I'll do some sort of lager, possibly a vienna or a bock. I've...

Hi everyone, Our brewclub has hired a 50 seater bus, and organised guided tours of 4 different breweries in the Swan Valley. We have a couple of places left for what promises to be an absolute corker of a day. Here's a sneak peek at a message that just went out to members: The bus is filling...

I will be holding a mashing demo this Saturday from 1pm, at International homebrew supplies. They are located on Beechboro Road in Bayswater (look for the signs on the road, it's hidden at the back of a small complex). It's a great chance to see what the fuss is all about, and a chance to...
