Hey crew, 12 old beer bottles were found during construction of the new Stzrelecki trial, with 'property of richmond' moulded in 3D text along the bottom and a tiger/puma face moulded in the glass mid-way up the bottle. It seems a pretty safe bet that these were Richmond Tiger Beers. A few...

Hey Wolfy, is there a thread on here for preperations for the Mirboo North Beerfest itself? Would love to get in touch with anyone local who will be making an entry this year as a profile/preview for the event. Cheers again.

Cheers for the replies guys. Please excuse the delay of mine. Distilling illegal? My anecdotal understanding was that individuals could distil quantities of up to five litres with a licence. May need to do some research there. I was quick to call 'shotgun' on covering the Beerfest in the...

Hey guys, I was a lingerer here on the forums some time back, now working as a journalist in the Latrobe Valley. Just wondering if anyone on here in the Valley, or immediately surrounding areas, have been up to anything brewing/distilling related for Chrissy ? Whether it be a local case swap...

Nice one there Fourstar. Writer yourself? Or just wanting to spread the love? I'll try and track it down for a read. I've got a different angle in mind - focusing less on the nitty gritty details of the process, and more on the possibilities, hence the focus on an established group of brewers...

Howdy all, I'm studying journalism at Monash University, and write for my campus student publication. Have been meaning to write an article on home brewing and it's particular benefits for uni students for a while now. (I myself started it originally for financial reasons back in 2003 when I...

in hindsight, i can see that "i am about to come into possession..." were not the right words. 4 of these kegs had been sitting in a storeroom at my dad's workplace for some time, (it's a quarry - no one has any idea what they were doing there in the first place) dusty and forgotten. i've been...

just bumping this one - here's the damage i'm doing: surely there must be someone out there in the same boat as me. any help muchly appreciated as always. Cheers - Louie

Have been using 2xAsahi kegs for the last few months since i've recently starting kegging. Until now, I've been tapping the spear open by gently as possible tapping the small stainless tabs protruding into the well which the coupler locks into, with a bolt and hammer. The tabs are starting to...

from my limited experience of recipes i've done where the hops are the star player - it's taken at least a month after kegging for the 'hop tea' intensity to calm down and mellow to a pleasant level. i figure i may as well be doing something else with this extended waiting period and clear it...

hmmm... looks as if getting a hold of the dry wheat malt extract quickly is going to be a problem. the LHBS has Wheat LME however. is there any setbacks to using LME as opposed to DME other than measuring up the right amounts out of the tin?

okei pokei. i'll take that as a no. cheers fellas - wanted to double check. douchebags from the store told me they were food grade over the phone...

had a search to see if this had come up before, to no avail... does anyone know off the bat if the red plastic fuel jerry cans sold at camping and hardware stores labelled as for fuel storage purposes are food grade? cheers

heh - had started working on the previous post edit before you got here Mant. cheers - you the man.

cheers roverfj1200. from my understanding, Ross' inclusion of the 400g Torrefied Wheat (as it is only 10% of total grain along with 4kg of Pale Ale malt) is mainly for head retention purposes with a slight addition to flavour. which is what you're going for with the crystal and wheat malt...

yeah, this was the brew: 2 x 1.5kg Coopers LME tins (pale) 500g Dextrose 40g Amarillo (pellets)@ 20 min 40g Amarillo (pellets)@ 10 min Safale US-05 by 'high fermenting' yeast, do you mean 'top fermenting yeast? ie ale yeasts? and just to clear up what is probably quite obvious - the...

howdy chaps - posted this in kits and extracts to no avail so far. very interested in this recipe, but am still an extract brewer that has only begun flirting with partials. can anyone suggest an extract/partial substitute recipe for Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale? i will be making an order...

Howdy folks. Got me an Amarillo Pale Ale that's had enough time in secondary. Would like to cold condition this, but haven't got a dedicated fridge for the task yet. I'd probably be able to fit a cube into the serving fridge - which sits at about 5 degrees. Would there even be any benefit to...

howdy chaps would love to give the Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale a crack, but only have access to extract ingredients through my local HBS. can someone suggest an extract recipe that would be close to this? willing to order some specialty stuff online but nothing too heavy. cheers, Louie

Just got this one hooked up now. The banana profile i was after was certainly delivered by the 3068 Activator pack - sickenly so when served at higher temps, for example when i drop the ball on mantaining fridge temp, and it creeps up to 6-8 degrees. So much banana that i almost want to gag...
