    Cheap Digital Thermo @ Jaycar

    I'm on #3. My last one jumped off the bench last week and committed suicide on me, I swear I was nice to it!

    Stc 1000 Temp Controller

    After spending a quality afternoon at the back table with a beer, some tools and a dremel I came up with this... Inside: Front: Back: Need a little more practice with the dremel, but the STC-1000 is working as advertised. Now I need to make some beer to put in the newly commissioned...

    Nsw July Case Swap 2010

    Thanks to Barls for the gentle reminder that AHB and the July Case Swap all still exist. Life seems to have gotten in the way of hobbies lately. I'll be in as lucky last. Fingers crossed I do better than my last effort (sorry about that). I've only just put down my first two batches for this...

    Xxxx Summer Bright Lager

    Well in my defence I had two 19-yr old boys that don't appreciate even Coopers Pale or a Squires Golden or Amber, so this was the compromise. My apologies for offending everyones taste buds :D

    Xxxx Summer Bright Lager

    Just got back from a trip to the Goldy and while I was there we ploished of a couple or three cases of the new(ish) XXXX Summer Bright Lager. I found it to be a rather easy drinking beer, especially on those 35C plus days that we had while we were in town. Just wondering what others thought of...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap - Tasting Thread

    Josh, thanks for the review. Firstly I'm glad it was drinkable. There were too many things that didn't go right making this batch, I had to tip two previous brews as they just tasted horrid out of the fermenter, so I was a little worried about htis one. I was aiming for an American IPA type...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap

    I suggested mid to late November to avoid the busy calendar that most people have in December. It also means that if we do the swap in November we should (hopefully), have drinkable case swap beers for Christmas! My father has his own tour business and a 22 seater bus (and luggage trailer)...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap

    Well after the disaster of batch #1 for the swap, #2 is looking a little better. It is meant to be an American style IPA, but I think it has fallen short of the mark. If it is at least drinkable I'll be happy, as I said in the wiki, save it until late NYE, then it should taste just fine...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap

    Well my entry is now floating out to sea. Out of the fermenter it tasted bad, really, really bad. I think it fermented too hot initially and from there it all went down hill. Luckily I had a different batch cubed and waiting, so that got dumped into a different fermenter and pitched. My...

    Mercurio's Menu Cookbook

    I'll have to agree with that, and throw in Thai or Malaysian as well ... I've consumed my fair share of beer alongside a good feed of Indian, Thai or Malaysian. And nothing beats a curry and a beer in India :icon_drool2:

    Mercurio's Menu Cookbook

    Other than beer nuts, what non-meat food do you consider to be a decent companion for a fine ale or lager? :rolleyes: Salad is just a decoration, nobody really eats it!

    The Party Beer Barrel

    Looks nice, I like the idea, I'll have to keep my eye out for a barrel. Your idea of a flange to hole the top together is good, I would have tried to get it on the inside though so that it was recessed a bit and then you could use the cut out part as the blank for when you don't have font...

    Storage Of Fresh Wort

    If it is your own wort that you have made make sure you put it into an airtight container and remove as much air as you can. It is better to do this with hot wort that way you reduce the risk of nasties starting to eat your wort while you wait for the best time to ferment. Poke around the...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap

    Done! 2 cubes no-chillin' on the balcony, a previous cube in the fermenter, bottles sourced, milk crates pinched. It's a HoppyGoblin using WLP011 for the Xmas swap guys, hope its as good as the last batch that I made. Also brewed up an American IPA using Willamette hops cause they have been...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap

    Bit late getting one down for this swap, but tomorrow is brew day - a Remberance Ale maybe? Nah, it won't be good enough for that. Either way, brew & cube tomorrow, pitch the next day, should be bottled just before swap day. Speaking of which, anyone got any crown seal longies that they want...

    2009 Nsw Xmas Case Swap
