Cheers!

OK punters, both spoken for. I'll bump this thread to relist if anyone does a no-show for pick up.

Yeah still have them, had a PM today and a bloke is interested in one. First in with a PM gets the other, I will respond with my mobile number to organise a pick up. Cheers!

OK guys I don't get to brew much these days let alone grow hops any more. I got 2 x Hersbrucker rhizomes to give away, 1 per person. Not asking anything for them but if you wanted to donate a sample or two of your brew I wouldn't say no. First in best dressed, PM me, pick up only from Gepps...

Gday all Just a quick one on Coopers yeast cultures. I recently brewed a smoked ale with a cultured Coopers yeast taken from Best Extra Stout. My question is do Coopers use the same yeast strain for there Pale, Sparkling & Stout? I think they do but would like some confimation. Cheers.

On a recent hunting trip to the Flinders Ranges here in SA I learnt about wild hops that grow there. Apparently they where introduced into Outback Australia by Afghan camel drivers in the early 1800s. They typically grow in rugged rocky country. Dont know if they are suitable for brewing but...

Area = Pi (3.141592) x R x height Convert to metric, diameter 14" = 355.6 (R = 177.8) Height 12" = 304.8 (Convert inch to mm x by 25.4) 3.141592 x (177.8) x 304.8 = 30271103.87 / by 1000 = 30271.10387ml / by 1000 = 30.27110387 litres Easy as that....

Cheers guys, I am out north Gepps Cross, so south might be a bit out of the way for me. Was going to have a go this afternoon but may take up your offer in the near future enoch if thats cool as Mile End isnt too far for me.

GDay all, Got some partials in mind to do and was thinking of how to crack grain without a mill and without the tedious task of using tea towels and rolling pins etc. etc. How do you think I would go with one of those old school meat mincers that you clamp to a bench and crank by hand? I...

A guy was telling a story of how he came home and found his best friend in bed with his wife. He said he lost it, started going crazy and then basicaly threw the s*ut out on her ass. Everyone then asked "But what about your best friend" To that the guy answered "Well I dragged that little...

My girl is very supportive of my hobby and will on the odd occasion actually go out of her way to pick items up for me, being a moderate beer drinker herself I do have to give regular samples though. If anything her only complaint is that I enjoy the fruits of my labor a little excessively. For...

Would not worry too much mate, 27 is hot but it will still be drinkable beer I think, just maybe dont serve it up to any all grain brewers or they will rip the hell out of it Im sure, your mates will probably still love it though. As you said throw it in a secondary and if possible put it in a...

Got one in my fridge right now (Legal of course :-P). Can tell you keg only is 370mm Diameter 600mm height, with coupler and ball lock plugs etc. etc. 750mm height, I have a lathe and did turn up my own ball lock plugs to suit so purchased ones may add up to a bit less like 700mm or so???? Hope...

Hi Brewers, Can someone clarify the use of Crystal malt, I have seen lots of recipes that call for steeping / mashing when crystal malt is used. The following is taken from homebrewand beer.com Crystal malt, or caramel malt, gives a nutty flavour to copper-coloured ales, in which it is used...

My better half has got this stuff in the past called "Vanilla Fridge Spray" or somthing like that, get it where the cleaning gear is at the supermarket, it is a cleaner and deodoriser specifically for fridges, from memory it worked quite well. Might be worth a try.

Gday all, Been kegging for a little while now and have got forced carbonating pretty much worked out, must say Im a fan of just leaving it at pour pressure for a week, all good things to those who wait. Anyway, currently have the fridge full and both my gas lines are used so I cant gas any...

Has anyone ever done an oyster stout? I have found info on the net that says oyster stouts were only called that because they are a stout meant to compliment eating oysters. Other info I found says that you can brew with whole oysters in a batch or just oyster juice added but then I found...

Cheers for the quick replies people. OK I couldnt live with the guilt so tonight I bought a check valve on good old ebay. $20.50 delivered, seeing none of the brew shops near me had them. Next didnt know how hard it was to pull a regulator apart but found an exploded view of a Micromatic on...

Hi all, Recently got into kegging, I must say its great to have a couple of taps hanging out of the drinks fridge. Now here is my concern, on my first keg (up to #3 now) I was screwing around with the pressures trying to get a good pour and managed to suck a very small amount of froth into the...
