Now this is not a joke as such .. but then again, its so hard to believe and bloody funny. You just need to enter into Google "Why were cornflakes made" the read the answer. I included the link in case for whatever reason your browser does not get the result. I wonder who of you eat far too...

Hello Fellow Brewers and Happy Bloody Easter. For the first time I brewed an apple cider using Aldi apple juice as many before me have done. After brewing, I added 500g of lactose to sweeten it up a bit and today is "Test Day" It has only been sitting in fridge gassing up for 2 weeks but this...

Hello Fellow Brewers As the title implies…no… it is in fact explicit… I have almost had enough of leaking Co2 in my Kegerator X purchased from my local HBS. Please allow me to cut to the chase simply because I am so pissed off. I now have lost the gas 4 times in a 6kg C02 bottle having re...

I get far too many of these type of posts per day but on the off chance there are some Engineers on the forum...I could not resist Understanding Engineers 1 Two engineering students were riding bicycles across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get the great bike?" The second...

Fellows... 34 degrees, watchin' the cricket, already re homed the ex wife and indulging in a few quiet "Snake Bites". Seriously...what more could a bloke want!!

Hello Fellow Brewers. Happy New Year. I want to brew a sweet apple for a friend but I am not sure how to do this. I am a "lazy brewer" in that if it comes in a can...I want to use it. I am a better drinker than brewer although I must admit...I have done so very nice malty beer brews...

Happy New Year Fellow Brewers. I had the fortunate luck of winning a trip to Wild Turkey Distillery in Kentucky about 4 years ago and one of the nicest drops we tasted was the batch called "Mistaken" which came about when a long time employee essentially pushed the wrong button and made a...

Hell all. I am conflicted here. With the PBW and Sodium Percarbonate (SP), as they do the job by oxidizing. Does this mean that the kegs should be fill to the top to be effective. I would have thought so which means an awful lot of product will be required to clean say a 50 litre keg but...

Hi all. If there is anyone in the Geelong region who like hard ginger beer (7.8%) and want 38 litres for free, please message me. I dont mind it but it really has a "bite" so you really must like a strong ginger flavor. It is something that I think needs to be consumed more like a wine than a...

Hello Fello Brewers. Just wondering if those who use the sanke kegs in any aspect of brewing , whether you remove the spear after every brew to clean it out. I ask because I learned a few new swear words today trying to remove that bloody little steel o ring so I could rinse it out. I must...

Hello all Sorry in advance for this post but I do ask a lot of questions and get VERY WELL treated by this group so I decided to put up a post WITHOUT a question and just say to my fellow "Brewzers"...Have a great, thirsty and enjoyable weekend...particularly in the "socialist" state of...

Hello Fellows I was wondering if anyone has discovered something like PBW in large quantities and cheapish. Now before you jump down my throat about how little you use and how cheap it is and cost per brew and ..... etc etc, I am gunna have a crack at pressure fermenting in a 50 liter keg (as...

Hello Fellow Brewers. I was given 2 x 50 liter Kegs and was thinking of having a crack at pressure fermenting (see photo). Can I ask the following questions: 1. Can I use these kegs and if so, what sort of top can I purchase 2. Can anyone send me some links or give some advise on pressure...

Hello all I have done 2 brews of hard apple cider for 2 friends but I just can not seem to get it right. If anyone (non grain type of brewing) has a good recipe I would...,well 2 friends would be very happy. If you could please include all info including brew mix, temp, co2 and sitting time...

Ok ... the Brains Trust (BT) on this forum have converted (or shoved) me from chlorine to stellar san (SS) and have done so with some vigor. So, in fairness... I have a question about SS or the like. I did raise this in the past so would like to raise it as a separate post if I may. I must...

Hello fellow drinkers Yes it is me again, but I can assure you it’s a different topic and a simple one. Hopefully it does not create any issues with anybody. With the plastic fermenters of which I have 1x 60 L and 5 x 30l, given I have sworn on the Bible never to use chlorine again, and further...

I just noticed that the post I put up has been locked and not open for further comment which I really don’t understand why and in fact if admin could explain this that would be much appreciated. I was asked a question about my post and felt a sense of duty to reply but clearly I couldn’t as it...

Hello fellow drinkers Some of you regulars will remember my posts in regard to using chlorine at various dilutions as a disinfectant. To say I was hounded about this is an understatement. Almost without exception, what everybody said was correct. I am on a learning trail at the moment. The...

Hello fellow drinkers I reckon I worked out a good way to clean and disinfect those 19 L kegs without having to pull everything apart. Now what I’m about to suggest, I think I am pretty bloody smart, but who am I fooling!!!. I have a T pieced gas line coming from the bottle which I have always...

Hello Fellow Drinkers. I have been getting just so bloody much excellent advice from DazGore and again...want to acknowledge this so just to give the poor bugga a break, I was wondering what people think is the best additive (or other) way of retaining the head on a beer. I have been told that...
