I am digging up my plants tomorrow for some tidy-up and replanting and wondering if anyone in the Melbourne (SE Melbs preferred, but not required) area wants to swap rhizome cuttings. I am after German/Euro varieties: Hallertau, Hersbrucker or Saaz. I have to swap: Chinook, Mt Hood, Goldings...

Anyone own one or know of someone who has purchased a Morebeer sculpture? Any ideas on shipping costs? Also wondering if there was any difficulty with getting it hooked up and running in Australia or was all that sorted at the other end first? Thanks for any help! (will be emailing Morebeer...

Got access to some rain water for brewing. It is outside of the city, goes through 4 filters (from coarse to fine), a carbon filter and then through a UV filter. Is it safe to assume that this brewing water is pretty much 0 for all mineral content for practical purposes? It tastes really...

Hi all, looking at making a super hopped up US style IPA (Racer 5, Hop Ottin, Pliny, etc). Normally for PAs and IPAs I like to use Maris Otter, but I am wondering if I should choose something different, more along the lines of US 2-row. Golden Promise perhaps? Hoping for a "lighter" malt base...

Building the new setup and trying to think of ways to save a bit of the ol H20 during the process. Our old chiller didn't use a great deal of water, but enough to look bad to spying eyes (brewing in the inner city!). So I am thinking two things: 1. Build a new immersion chiller, (the old one...

hey guys, have done a lot of searching on the site to get few ideas, but would still like an opinion or two on setting up a Keg as a Mash tun (one of the squarish commercial brewery type kegs) Basically we are divided over the manifold setup. We are trying to do this as cheap as possible (we...
