Hey All, First off, hello to everyone again & sorry to be a stranger. Guess I haven't had a word with some of ya since GMK came to Oxford 132 back last year. Hope it's flowing clean for all of yous. Got a question: I just picked up one of these 'genuine innovations' bicycle pump keg...

Hi Guys, I find that it's useful to have a stash of good solid (high attenuation, high flocculation) dry ale yeast on hand for those rainy sundays when the local HB shop isn't open but I get the bug to lay a brew down. I'd like to buy a good 'bulk' (< 100 sachets) order from somewhere and I'm...

Hey All, I just got a keg on ebay and now that I'm committed, I'm wondering where to get the other little things I'll need to get the setup going. For example, where's the best kind of place to get a co2 cylinder? Back home I leased a tank from a welding supply company and was able to get my...

Hey All, I want to do a mead batch. However, the guy at the brew shop says that I should be wary of some type of Australian honey, the name of whiich he forgets. Is there a type of honey here that doesn't ferment well that I should beware and not try? ToS

Hey All, I'm interested in formulating some recipes using adjuncts from Old European style fermentations (pre-Reformation). I was wondering if there was a good place in Oz to get live or dried herbs for Gruit or other herbal beers. Representative herbs would include yarrow, marsh rosemary...

Hey Hobbyists, I live in the Brisbane suburbs and I just started brewing again. Right now I have a room with AC, so I'm fermenting beers improvised from extract kits. However, I will soon be moving to a house without AC where I will be staying for the indefinite future after that. I'm...

Hello All! Regarding my new kit, I notice that the apparent plan is to add sugar individually to bottles and use the included bottling wand which is to be attached to the tap on the plastic fermentation vessel. I'm not sure how I feel about this. In the past, I have used bulk priming. This...

Dear Colleagues, I have purchased a kit from the Annerly, Qld homebrew shop in order to restart my active brewing now that I've settled in Qld (couldn't bring the brewery with me from the US). I notice that theh sanitizer included in the kit is Sodium Metabisulfite. I understand that there is...

Hi everyone. I'm a new transplant in Brisbane (specifically, St. Lucia), who's been brewing for 5 years but couldn't pay the price Quantas asked to move the brewery. Therefore, in the interests of getting off the ground with the hobby I dearly miss, I am interested in gleaning the least path...
