Has anybody had a try of the Muntons grains that are starting to turn up around Sydney? I am thinking of buying a bag of the Flagon, which I am told is a Maris Otter blend????????? & 1/2 bag of Mild Ale Malt. First up will be 100% flagon in my house ale, followed by a 70-30 split with the mild...

OK I am starting to become emotionally attached to this beer so the question needs to be asked, is this the best micro-brewed beer in Sydney? If not, what is? I will leave you to it Thanks James

http://www.sydneyroyalshows.com.au/wdff/wd...R=1&SY=2010 Great to see so many local (Sydney) breweries getting amongst the medals. 4Pines Kolsch gets a Gold Medal, this could well be the best tap beer in Sydney! James

There is no longer a C.U.B. brewery in NSW, yet pubs & bottle shops are stocked to the brim with C.U.B. products. The freight costs & pollution increase as those huge "B" Doubles tear along our streets & highways. Now we all know we can not stop those massive trucks, what I propose is a small...

I have been enjoying the range of beers the Hive has on tap for a while now. Very low on Beer Miles. Only about $4.50 a schooner which is great value when compared to what others are charging up the street. Good pizza's & friendly staff who are actually interested in the beers they sell. The...

I have been reading through some old books & have a few questions regarding U.S grown barley. Do we have U.S grown barley available in Australia? UK & Europe Yes, so far I can not find any U.S. If so where is it hiding? Have any of the more experienced brewers used any U.S grown barley? Yes...

I posted this question in another thread & got the following response Well it seems I may have to make my own luck, or indeed my own Farb Malz ! Does anybody use this particular grain regularly? I asked a very grumpy commercial brewer who said they had used it in Black Lagers, but no longer...

I heard a couple of guys come in & ask about this grain when I was at my local HBS this morning. Got a roll of the eyes from the guy behind the counter who muttered something that sounded like "propeller heads". Came home & Googled it & it appears to be a traditional middle-eastern wheat that is...

I have some JW Vienna Malt that seems pretty nice & tasty to munch on while I am stuffing around with the roller spacing on my Barley Crusher. I am thinking of a 100 % Vienna grain bill, I may lightly toast 400g's of it also. Probably fuggles all the way as there is no shortage of that here at...

Once again it is great to see this comp keeps powering along. Always interested in the number of kit beers that out score the elitist mash snobs ;) it is almost enough to make you throw out your mash tun..........almost :P Well done to all concerned James

Over the years we have lost some players to the pommie super-league, but the loss of Nathan Brown is tragic. We need more people like him coaching inthe NRL in 2009 James Brown opens can over Storm tactics Seeing red: Nathan Brown unleashed on the Storm's controversial techniques. Photo...

MESSAGE TO THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC The federal government is sending each and every one of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at K-Mart, the money will go to China. If we spend it on petrol it will go to the Arabs, If we purchase a computer or a digital camera it will go to Taiwan, If...

Has any body heard of these liquid yeasts? I was reading a book that mentioned them, but I have scored a big zero in my search for more info. I googled, I rang a couple of HBS but nothing. All I know is that they are from England (yet not all ale strains, they have a mix of continental strains)...

OK so just to be safe I will be putting beer on my Corn-Flakes. I thought they used a no-rinse steriliser like Iodophor! James PhysiCAL no-fat milk recalled Monday Dec 24 22:07 AEDT A Queensland-produced no-fat milk product has been recalled amid fears that traces of sanitiser found in some...

Anybody here done a side by side( :beer: ), or used both of the Nottingham Dry yeast & White Labs Nottingham Ale,WLP039. I am thinking of doing a few ales then some darks on the liquid version. I haven't seen the dried version in Sydney, although I know it must be around somewhere! Any type of...

Found these guys http://www.kegsonline.com.au/index.htm Nice looking gear & prices, better than anybody else in Sydney. Anybody got gear from them, they seem a little skinny on contact details? James
