We'll let you off this time mate. Congrats and all the best to you and the Mrs.

Hi AHB , Long time no post. Pistol Patch is making a special trip from Perth just to meet the Red Hill brewers at Harts this Thursday. If anyone who knows (or knows of) the infamous PP and would like to catch a beer with him, head up Essex St from 5.30. I wouldn't mind catching up with an old...

This one all most fell off my radar. Oh dear. My chances of making it this year are 90% (yay for divorce!). Big Ray Day, Grooving the Moo, AHB Pub Crawl... what a start to the month! Anyone getting the train in from Campbelltown? Let me know time and carriage and I'll join you fellas at...

Nothing to do with brewing. Moving this political discussion to Off-Topic.

Yes, yes you did :) Ended up going to the Hive, The E'ville Pils was cloudy and yeasty. Had a RedOak Heffe as well, and a Scharer's lager. Hmm. Also popped into the Courthouse and missed the Justice Ale, just had a JSGA, which was still "meh, where's the hops?". Caught some Whale Ale at...

Hey, thanks for the edit. I think I'll go to the Hive. Looks like only about 3 or 4 blocks to walk back to the Sando.

Cheers! The gig I'm going to is at the Sando, so I may as well just meet her there. Cheers bro!

Help me AHB brethren! I am meeting someone in Newtown tonight and will have a few hours to kill before the gig we're going to starts. Want to have a few ales beforehand. What is the best place for a beergeek to drink in Newtown(NSW)? Would like to see what St Peters are up to, for instance...

I actually prefer Boag's Draught to the Premium Lager. Cheaper too ;)

Rather than delete it, I'll just close this thread. The argument is going nowhere but circles, both sides of the debate have made their point. At this stage in our collective knowledge on the subject of brewing, best practice the world over is to sanitise all cold-side containers, ie...

Don't mess about with a few coke bottles. Rig up a fermenter full of water to a hose to one of those spike irrigation things, suitably slowed with ag cloth, or even put a twist tap on the hose itself, or a crimp or something to severely restrict flow. If there's a week or so to go, they could...

I'm really looking forward to finding Paddy's beer in town. I almost never get out to Flemington, so Paddy's beer is just a fond memory. Any chance you can give a list of pubs where we might find it?

Dude, looking at your avatar, can you blame people for being reluctant to give you advice on making sweet fruity alcoholic beverages? :P Personally, for fruity flavoured alc drinks, I'd be mixing them in cocktails, not fermenting the fruit.

Semantics. All semantics. 100% malt is but one way to make a mash beer. Does it matter?

No offence, DJ, but they gotta do the trackwork. There's something on every weekend, so... short straw.

It's a Bavarian Pils, not a Bohemian, so don't use it to pick out Czech hops :)

The brewery is the 5 Islands in Wollongong. AG and Scotty are pumping out some great beers from there these days! A good accessible pale but interesting Dapto Draught, an American Amber, a superb Hefe (summer special), wit, porter, APA and IPA. That is a fair variety for a brewery in little...

I think you're right jbowers. There is an awesome IPA at my local brewery tho. 7% and about 80IBU with tons of finishing hops. Unfortunately, it's been backed off a little due to *sigh* excise.

Well we all know that you and I are too smart to fall for advertising, yet the big breweries spend tens of millions a year on advertising their pleasantly tasteless fizzy yellow swill. Someone must be listening, or they wouldn't do it. Yes, like white bread, bland beer is the biggest seller...

Came in to post this. My keg fridge is a freezer at the bottom type and the bottom of the fridge section gets bloody cold. I have a small metal frame sitting in there to raise the kegs a few cm and keg freezes are a thing of the past. No matter what temp the fridge it set to, the freezer is...
