I was putting together an order for Craftbrewer today and had an idea. Rather than have it posted, I decided that I would drive down to Brissy and pick it up. SWMBO has been wanting to go to Ikea for a few weeks now - so why waste the trip :rolleyes: So here's the rub..... I am happy to...

My current MT is too small (25 litre esky). With a standard grain bill of approx 5kg, I can fit (just) about 15 litres in for the mash. I batch sparge and generally can fit around 12 litres in for the sparge. With evaporation and trub loses in the kettle, I end up with about 18 litres in the...

OK, I'm a bit of a beer tart. I will drink most beers without turning up my nose. Geez i even drink tooheys new on tap each Friday arvo at the local :ph34r: So, I was at Dan Murphy's and lashed out and bought a 500ml bottle of the above wheat beer. What a great beer :) I wouldn't consider...

I know this subject has been done to death, and I have serched and read a "thousand" previous threads, but I need to put my mind at rest before the final purchase. Here's my dilemma: I have been doing extracts and can get 5 litres or so to boil fine but as soon as I ramp it up beyond that the...

I have a bottle of the Chimay GR year 2000 and was planning on drinking at an upccoming special occasion. A friend suggested that maybe it was worth hanging on to as an investment of sorts. Not really sure as it wasn't a "limited edition" or anything special. So...... Hang on and make a few...

Absolutely not beer related - but here goes....... I have the oppotunity via a pretty good job offer to relocate to Brisbane. Probably the most important consideration will be real estate. I currently live in the Sutherland Shire in Sydney and would like to live in the same kind of suburb/area...

Some of you probably already frequent the Brewboard forum, (so to those - appologies in advance) but I have been following a great thread there for a while. Its a detailed pictorial of a guy building a herms system updated as he goes. Great pics and great commentary. It's a bit lengthy but...

One place not to live. :( http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,12634793-1702,00.html Cheers

Wonder what this jokerwill do if Wales wins the 6 nations ?

I don't mean to be too self indulgent - BUT I installed my new keg system over the weekend and poured my first brew last night. Sensational !!!!! The first led to a second and third and fourth etc etc. Kept using "go to get the pouring pressure right" excuse (wife shakes head in disgust)...

I don't know too much about beer styles, but have read a bit about Kolsch and thought it might be a good summer, easy drinking style for Christmas/New Year. So I have found (and modified slightly) an extract recipe to suit and would appreciate any input you may have. 2750g. Light Dry Malt...

I am going to set up my keg fridge with 2 taps and will from time to time run beer in one and say bourbon and coke in the other (or though more likely to be two beer !!!). Assuming the kegs have been carbonated and are ready for drinking, could I simply "split" my gas line, insert a T piece and...

Last night (about 10pm) i put down a very simple brew - a Pils fresh wort with the San Francisco liquid yeast (WPL810) . The yeast is a lager yeast but has a temp range of 15deg to 18deg and I've been told it should be OK for an Ale. This morning (about 6am) I checked and have abosolutely NO...

Can anyone enlighten me on what this is and what it's used for?????

I have been told that this yeast is Ok for Pils although it is a Lager yeast. Suggested Temp is 16-19deg which is more like an Ale temp so should be OK?? The yeast was thrown in free with about $200 worth of gear I bought from the local brew shop. I wanted to use it under the same conditions...

OK. You are a kits and bits brewer and are starting to produce some good/consistant results. The brew gods are smiling down on you and a lazy $500 falls your way. In hindsight and given what you know now, do you 1. keg immediately - 'cause nothing is better than your own brew from a tap. 2...

I put down my first ever brew last night. Wasn't too adventurous - used a Pils fresh wort and pitched s-04 (I think - have it written down somewhere @ home!) Woke this morning to find everthing going along nicely. I plan to rack when finished and store in my normal beer fridge for two weeks or...
