    First Brew down, accidently made a mid-strength APA

    Well first brew back, into the land of this single vessel electric brewing. A shiny new Grainmaster G30 to try out, a new fermenter to fill, a sparge tank waiting for a drop of water to heat.. and so it started. I was looking forward to a simplified day - no gas burners to worry about, no eskie...

    Off the shelf AG systems

    Hi Guys, I'm just getting back into brewing. Previously I had a home-built AG setup, this time I'm leaning towards something pre-built. I doubt I have intentions of highly complicated multi-step mashes any time soon, so have been looking at single vessel systems, although I'm not wedded to...

    Back to the fold

    Well. in 2008 I sold all my AG gear on AHB. I was unhealthy and overweight, going through a "divorce" and decided that having hundreds of litres of beer on tap was just not going to lead to a better lifestyle so I sold it all and gave up brewing. (The Big Sale In Brisbane | Australia & New...

    The Big Sale In Brisbane

    Hi all, I've had to give up brewing for various reasons, and as i haven't put down a brew for over 12 months i figure it's time to sell up and get the garage space back. I'm looking for pickup only sorry, although i may be tempted. I'll also be keen to offer discounts for anyone who wants to...

    Drying Hops

    Heya all. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on drying hops. The father in law just posted the first years crop of hallertauer and i got a bit more than i bargained for... As I don't think they will fit in the oven. What do you do?

    Hop Plants

    It's been a long time since i have been on here, between moving (thrice), buying a house, new job etc, the brewings fallen by the wayside. Anyway, since i came for a bit of a look, i thought i would share some piccies of a hop plant. The father in law is a bit of a green thumb, and offered to...

    3 Monts

    Well i have to start with the truth and admit that i bought this beer under a mistaken assumption. I was prowling the new 1st choice liquore shop, and saw this beer. On the front it has "Bier de Flandre" so i thought that i might be buying a Flanders Red ale. The rest of the writing didn't give...

    Free Autoclave In Brisbane

    Need to move, am currently not drinking, and don't have room for all of my equipment, so i am going to get rid of it. First to go must be the autoclave, free to a good home. Only catch is, you have to pick it up, and you will need either a hatch or a ute (i'm in Camp Hill). I never got around...

    Cleaning Drip Trays

    Wondering how often people here clean their drip trays, and if they have any majic solutions that they leave in there? Reason i ask is that i had a party last week, and a fair amount was spilled over the night. I didn't get around to cleaning the drip tray until just now, when i discovered a...

    Is This Legal?

    So there i am, sitting on my back deck savouring a bottle of the Adnams Broadside Strong Original, when i notice that the "use by" sticker look very badly like it was stuck on by the shop or importer. I wondered what was below it, so i peeled it off and looked at what was below... Can i...

    Fresh Is Best But.....

    I've got my own theories, but i'm wondering what people think the shelf-life of the ESB fresh wort kits are. I've got one here that is now 12 months old, and am trying to decide whether to tie up the ferm fridge for a week brewing it, or just pouring it down the sink. Whadda you reckon? I've...

    Cleaning Glassware

    What do people here find the best way to clean their flasks etc after using them to make starters? I find i end up with a ring of gunk that doesn't just soak off. I've thought of using brushes, or dishwasher powder, but don't want to scratch or pit the glass at all or create anything that...

    Don't You Hate It When

    Don;t you hate it when you are forced to rebuild your PC, you spend countless hours copying everything off it first, rebuild it, copy back what you need, nuke the rest then realise..... You forgot your recipes file!!!! Doh!

    Compressor Replacement Costs

    Does anyone know any rough costs for replacing a compressor in a fridge? I've just been offered an 800L fridge for free with a dead compressor - if it's faily cheap i'll take it as i need another fridge.

    Clean Ya Kegs!

    In the final days before moving out, i started to dismantle my beer fridge tonight. One of the jobs was to give all the lines a flush before i packed them, so i grabbed one of the 3 gal kegs to use as a washout keg. I went to take the lid off - strange, it's pressurised. I bleed the pressure...

    Score Of The Century - Autoclave!

    Got a new client the other day, it's a doctors office. In their kitchen was sitting this large stainless box that looked like an old boiler or something similar. Anyway, i asked what it was, and they told me it was an autoclave. I looked around the "back" of the box, and sure enough, it looks...
