Thanks guys... Manticle, thanks for the link. I have a lot more confidence in this calculator, I can see I have been over carbing bigtime. Now it's warming up, have a few brew on the spritz side, not happy! Thanks guys

Hi guys, Yet another bulk priming question..... I have been using the 'Essential Guide for Bulk Priming' and for ales, it recommends a priming rate above 6gms per ltr for ales(Pale, American, Browns Etc). I am finding this too high, so thought I'd ask you legends what you run with? To be...

WTF???? That's a ridiculous situation.... This is a joke right?

Hey guys, I'm interested in joining the club, can I please get some details from someone on how I do this? Been brewing about 2yrs and have gone to all grain over the last 6 months. Keen to meet and learn from fellow hunter brewers. Cheers, Troy

Hey legends, Wanna call on your wealth of experience out there on some recommendations on bottled yeast I can cultivate. Have done the main culprits already being Coopers, White Rabbit and Mountain Goat, but really want to build up the yeast bank with other varieties for possible future uses...

Thanks for your reply, I have always had the burner directly on the floor in the shed with the kettle sitting straight on top - I'll definitely give this a go. What you're saying makes sense - I'll give anything a go here.

Hey guys, Only really new to the AG process, now 6 brews down and loving it. My question is around the set up of my gas burner for my 50ltr Kettle and trying to get a better flame. I am using a 2 ring burner, so not the most optimal, but with my bottle and standard gas regulator, I am only...

I'm with Ross... Only ever did two brews using my tank water and ended up with bottle gushers on both. Same maticulous santisation process applied, so nothing to do with that. Only ever used town water since and never had a single problem. Stay right away from it mate, Yeasties will react to...

Hi all, I have a massive supply of bottles I am wanting to clear out, 90% of which are all sparkling clean and ready to use. They just need to be sterilised and away you go. They are mainly Crown Seal, yes crown seal. There are CUB, Pick Axe, NSW Bottle Co and Coopers tallies to give you...

Hey folks, Sadly, for health reasons I have to give up my two biggest passions - Drinking and Brewing. So, this means I have quite a bit of gear to get rid of. I am selling the following items (post me if you are interested in any of the following): Crown Seal Tallies - Have well over 200...

With a name like Happy Benno, you must be a good bloke... I'm thinking there has to be some room for negotiation here. If I threw an offer of $45, how would you feel about that? Cheers, Spiderpig

Hi all, I've done quite a few FWK's all of which have been amber ales of different descriptions. The best one I've done IMHO has to be the 5 Malts Amber Ale, this is so yummy, I savour every drop. I have made a few of these now and they are good. I would suggest they are best left at least 2...

Hi mate, It seems to be in read only mode, I cannot make any changes to the volume of wort, the type of carbonation etc. Any tips? Otherwise, this will be bloody handy - job well done Cheers

Hi to all you AG Brewers, I am starting this blog with a confirmation that I have never done an AG previously, but am wanting to make the move away from K&K/Partials. So, please go easy on me.... I will be arranging to catch up with Tony to grab a lesson in this art form of Home Brewing in...

Hey guys, I like the sound of an extract as opposed to this type of kit put out by ESB. However, getting knowledge of the 3 different malts and 3 different hops James Squire Amber Ale uses (incl quantities) seems to be a rather difficult task. Tony (AHB member) posted a quick fire recipe I am...

Greetings all, Has anyone got a spare Co2 Regultaor they would like to off load? I have seen plenty obviosuly on EBay, but I was hoping someone might be able to negotiate a good deal for me as a fella wanting to get onto the kegging game. Can anyone help at all? Cheers, Spiderpig

Greetings all, Not sure if I am passin on old news to everyone, but Ezybrew have released a James Squire Amber Ale Clone Kit that is supposed to be bang on the mark (around the $31 mark). I spoke to the man behind the product at ESB yesterday (G'day Richard) and he reckons it's a pretty good...

Cheers up Rabz, Thanks for that, getting to Nth Sydney is a drama for me. Asquith will work quite nicely. I appreciate the heads up on that, nice work. Cheerio, Spiderpig
