Hey there competition people, I went to enter my Dämpfbier in a competition in the last few days and discovered that the category (SPECIALTY - OTHER) that was successful for me last year no longer exists, so I had to scrabble for another. Historical beer would be appropriate but the Guidelines...

Based on comments in an ANHC talk by Mitch Steele, wherein he mentioned that a lot of session IPA's these days are just a highly hopped Schwarzbier: I have kegged a small vessel (~10 litre) of Schwarzbier to present to the public at Bitter and Twisted festival this weekend, and had enough...

I started this topic in a post regarding the AABC, and mentioned a beer I tasted at the ANHC5. Time for a new thread, and some animated discussion. At ANHC, Stan Hieronymus presented a talk, entitled Brewing with Wheat, with a strong focus on creating phenolics and wheat beer characters. He...

Just bought this second-hand Techni-Ice box on eBait. 80 litres capacity for $86 (plus freight) (edit for price) Good price, I think, but not entirely compatible with a Brew bucket size fermentor. Now what size batch can I make with it? Say O.G. of 1.050. (Feeling a bit too overwhelmed to...

Hey, it's been a while since I started a thread. Has anyone here used a glass-top electric element for boiling wort in an Erlenmyer flask? (* the only post I could find was from logman*). Do you usually only fill the flask about 1/2 way with malt solution? Is it better to boil in my regular...

Frank was so excited to be going bear hunting. He spotted a small brown bear and shot it. Then there was a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to see a big black bear. The black bear said, "You've got two choices. I either maul you to death, or we have sex." Frank decided to bend over...

One of Hollywood's weirdest and most profound actors has passed away. You know he must have been a beer drinker, coz we can all relate to his outlook at times. He certainly consumed his fair share of psychedelics, no doubt. I will be raising my glass to him tonight, during my weekly toast to...

I was cleaning up (broken bottles and other assorted junk) in my beer storage room (under the house) today and spotted the remains of an old box of Coopers Sparkling Ale on the top shelf, which I had been storing to sample when aged a little (say 12- 18 months). I removed a 6-pack holder from...

Inspired by Tony's great thread on people you'd have a beer with... I thought that I'd kick off a thread with a view to showing some respect to people who have influenced you, and have passed away or otherwise disappeared in 2008. This is my New Year Thread. I'd like to state here that the...

G'day all, I spotted a new freezer (210l @ $399) today and was keen to buy one for a kegerator and another as a brew fridge. Any suggestions for why or why not? It looks like I may be able to squeeze 5 kegs in (and 5 tap font) or 2 fermentors. That will replace my current fridge/kegerator and...

Anyone had the new Snner Klsch? Available in Newie and probably many other places in "Australien". Their website mentions Snner Klsch in Australia, but it's in German, so it's a bit tough to read. Very nice clean Klsch. Malty, with a little fruit, and some perfumy (Mittelfreh?) hop flavour...

G'day Weizen-fanciers, For $20, you can currently purchase a 4-pack of 500 ml bottle of Schneider Original, and get a free Schneider glass at "Warners at the Bay" on Hillborough Road, Warners Bay. Great value, IMHO! :D Although it's not a 6-pack as pictured here. Beerz

G'day, At this stage, we are running a comp for the Hunter region only. Hopefully, we'll expand next year. There will be a reasonable amount of tolerance regarding the definition of Hunter. (Don't want to exclude Trent in Forster, etc.) ;) It's on for the 5th and 6th of April (weekend)...

G'day all potential AHB Easter 2008 pub crawlers. :beerbang: Please forgive me if I'm posting something that's already been kicked off, and post a link to the correct thread in your reply. Barring that...I'm happy to see another Sydney pub crawl in the series of successful Easter(ish) events...
