Hi, I am giving up homebrew for now due to lack of space. FREE: Garbage bag full of Coopers PET bottles and Coopers glass longnecks - bottles have been rinsed. 16kg JW pale malt 19kg Wey Pilsner Malt 2x 20L Bunnings Fermenters w/ taps* 1x 25L Coopers Fermenter w/tap and stick on...

The vital information is above in the picture. I bought this brand new and have used it only a hand full of times for cleaning art brushes, it works great but as I pretty much only use acrylic now, swishing in water is fine. The cleaner works very hard, I've also polished up some jewelery with...

Seeing as many of the better brewing setups for AG brewers use 3 vessels, all pretty much the same, stainless steel, and the mash tun is differentiated by the fact it is insulated. I thought of using an insulated fermenter drum. Mash temperatures max at around 77C, so is there any reason why the...

Sorry to make another yeast ranching / splitting thread, but since every thread has the word "yeast" in it, search function was pretty useless. Anyway, can you guys look at the below picture, the bottles are 250mL, so I would predict that there is about +/- 50mL of yeast in each (they have...

I received a parcel of 3 liquid yeast smack packs today. One was already starting to swell when I unwrapped it (or I could have 'smacked' it while unwrapping it, I'm not sure as it was pretty swollen when i noticed and I've never used smack packs before to know how long they take). Anyway, how...

Hey, I need to get a new scale for grain and hop measurement. I found this one on ebay. It says it's accurate to +/- 1g, do you reckon that'll be good enough for hops? At the moment I just divide them up by eye depending on how big the bag was to start off with and work out the approximate...

Hey, wanting to put together a cheap but good hand cranked mill as I am looking at buying bulk bags of base malt from now. Any suggestions? Cheers, Joseph.

Just thought I'd thank everyone on here for pushing AG heavily, because it really is the best way to make beer. I made up the recipe for my beer based on the craft brewer grain descriptions and just thinking "oh that sounds yummy". I bought the grain from beer belly and had a good talk to...

Hey, My girlfriend has recently expressed interest in helping me with my next brew day. Since I was thrilled to have a partner helping out I decided I'd let her pick what beer to make. She replied "when we were in Tassie, I really liked that... um cautions? No Hazards Ale, can you make that?"...

Maybe this doesn't really fit into humor... hrmmm. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/30/2318672.htm

Hey, Just wondering, when adding spice, what is a good amount to add? Say for instance I add some cinnamon, would 1 stick service 10L or thereabouts? (Boil for 30 min I reckon...) Any good resource for working this sort of thing out? Cheers, Joseph.

Hey gang, Just wondering, how many times can you reuse a PET bottle lid? I have used my lids for 2 brews and they seem to be leaking air on the third. I guess that's my question answered, use them for 2 brews. But I haven't opened all the bottles from my most recent brew so I am still hoping...

Hey there good people. I have a lager sitting in my fermenter, the gravity settled at 1.008 so I racked it. I then added gelatin (1 sachet in 100ml of water, as per someone on these forums instructions). Anyway, throughout primary fermentation my airlock didn't bubble once, probably because my...

Hey guys, I made my first AG today, it all went well I thought, I was at this point where dinner was hot on the table and my brother was calling for me. I had just cooled the wort and I was pouring it into my fermenter, it only came up to 15L so, without taking a gravity reading i added water...

Hey, I'm after some stemmed beer glasses, and would like some Guinness glasses too, but they can wait til I brew a good replica stout. Are these glasses are a good pick? http://www.oo.com.au/Alex_Liddy_Glace_Stem...m_P6154C241.cfm Or do you think there is some merit in buying more expensive...

Hello all, I'm new around these parts. I'm 19, a Uni student, name is Joe. My girlfriend bought me a Coopers homebrew kit for Christmas, after brewing the lager, a ginger beer and a cascade chocolate mahogany which all turned out awful (but drinkable, to me at least) I decided to do some...
