    Intro

    Welcome to AHB. I'm in Brisbane, so know well the humidity and temps this summer. I control the temperature of my fermenting beer by using a dedicated fridge in my shed, with external temperature control. A basic Inkbird will do the job, but you can go fancier if you want to spend the $$$. Link...

    Morgans 30 ltr fermenter

    No need to do what you do. I mostly don't use the lid on mine, just cover the top with a couple of layers of clingwrap, and seal it with the rubber ring from inside the lid. The CO2 will find a way out. If I do use the lid, I put a bottle cap over the airlock hole. And, of course, always use a...

    Beer without airlock

    Haven't used one for years Lots of brewer use a layer or two of clingwrap secured with the rubber band from inside the lid. Or, I simply place a bottle cap over the hole in the lid.

    Beer excise tax killing off Aussie craft breweries

    I have absolutely no idea why Great Northern has become so popular, but at my current and previous golf club it is the most popular beer, I take my hat off to their marketing department. Amazing how they managed to promote a beer without body, without flavour, without taste, and without any hint...

    What are you brewing 2024

    Nice one weal. I won't be brewing for the next 3 weeks or so, as I'm about to go on a road trip from Brissie to Sydney, to catch up with relatives and friends and relatives up and down the coast. Once I'm back, I'll be brewing a small batch of Pilsner with the Urquell yeast, and harvest the...

    New strains from Fermentis

    Not used any of these so far. I still generally use liquid yeast, although the convenience of dry yeast is becoming more attractive.

    Cooper's "New Style" Fermenters

    I agree with lost at sea. For the price of a new fermenter you will have peace of mind.

    Beer excise tax killing off Aussie craft breweries

    Perhaps maybe because the clever sophisticated people who sponsor and make those rules are predominantly wine drinkers, and they are convinced all alcohol problems in our society are limited to those ordinary people who drink beer? And, of course, the wine industry has way more lobbyists and...
