Have a gig at The Rainbow on the Tuesday, out friday morning, no interest for the Awards dinner though, $185 would feed how many disadvantaged kids? Will be a fun time none the less, Scotty Hey /// Scotty, Plenty of us feel the same. After forking out $150 per entry, plus the cost of...

Hey Ross! Good to see you made it to the airport (and home) in one piece! As a mere mortal doin' this to try and earn a crust full on head down tail up not enough hours in the day, who in the hell is Graham Wheeler and and is he CAMRA approved? (assuming here that he isn't some yankee "double...

An excellent yeast very suitable for any type of open ferment or pseudo Yorkshire square setup. It flocks so hard that in a 22Hl fermenter you climb in, carve it up like cold-set jelly or custard, and shovel it out! 30 kilos of this yeast in an old barley bag in a wheelie bin in hot weather can...

To the best of my knowledge, Vale Ale Isn't actually made in McLaren Vale, it's made under contract interstate (if anyone knows differently, please correct me). And the last time I checked (and admittedly it has been a while) it's registered office was in Woollongong. Interesting to see an "SA...

OK so I wobble into work this morning and start prepping up for a double filtration run - 1200 litres each of Pale and Stout from the conditioning tanks to the bottling tanks. As I'm heading for the brewhouse I spot a Batz brewery sticker on the window. Geez Batz, the least you coulda done is...

Yup, its even hot down here on the south coast. The Steam Exchange has only just opened up for business (its about 4.30pm). Too damn hot to brew in. We'll be closed tomorrow too. Pity all those poor bottles of beer making their way to Ballarat for judging in the AIBA at the moment...not good...

http://www.unicornbrewery.com.au/ Yet another merchant banker with a lawyer mate taking an old country brewery label and contract brewing with it. My guess is most likely will be made at AIB, possibly Regency TAFE or possibly even Mildura? Yawn. Rather sad, really, the number of beers...

Only in NSW..... Here in SA any cleanskin beer selling is illegal due to the category B 10-cent refund deposit system in operation. Dontcha love the different laws between states over something as common as alcohol? Cheers

Hi anc001, Keep it simple, remember the Buster is a commercial brew - we gotta put food on the table too, you know! Use a good amount of base malt (Maris), and a dash of dark crystal, and a smidge of roasted barley. Save the choc malts for a porter or stout. Think about your kettling technique -...

Actually there is a better way to spend the holiday Monday... The Steam Exchange Brewery has Andrew Winton from WA playing. Enjoy an afternoon of swamp, stomp, blues and slide guitar with fine vocals, also with percussionist Paul Novosel. Monday 10th March from 1.30pm. Enjoy local ales on tap...

Wow, its seven days later already and Goolwa has just finished cleaning up the carnage left by Merc and his crew! :lol: :party: He even made it into the local paper! Seriously though, it was good to have a few beers with you guys and chew the fat a while over better ways to get the general...

Beersmith or Promash - it doesn't matter squat - YOU brew the beer not the program. It is MERELY a tool. A number cruncher and a database, that's all. Interestingly most (OK, all I have met) professional (who truly do it and only IT for a living) microbrewers use Promash. (please excuse all the...

Jayse you could try the hotel Victoria in Little Collins St (?), just around the corner from the James Squire Portland. Cheap & Cheerful, indoor pool and spa to help soak out the hangover... Cheers!

Blatant plug For Adelaideans willing to travel south for a winter taster/schooner/pint, we have new crown seal 330ml bottles available for 10 cents each. They have been used in our bottling machine cleaning process and have previously had a weak caustic solution or oxonia in them, so they will...

Hi Malnourished, you are correct. The Lawrence Victor Brewery (equipment) is now at Bridge Road Brewers, Beechworth, where Ben Kraus is putting it to very good use. The LV Brewer (Simon Fennell) is Head brewer at the Steam Exchange. Cheers!

Domonsura we brewed on the weekend, so have 30-40 at least lying around waiting for bin day. Give us a call if you want them - we can put them aside for you. Goolwa 85553406 10-5pm ask for Gareth. Hell, we'll even shout you a beer or two if you pick them up! Cheers Gareth

Trust me, Batz, you'll be able to put it together. We use the latest version one on our 2,250L HLT to control our two elements (3-phase). No probs. And yes, we also use your bulk buy refractometer too! Cheers!

When The Beer Runs Out What Do You Drink, whats your alternate drink? Metho, mainly, tho Simon has got me on to his favourite, radiator fluid. Sorry, couldn't help meself :P
