The caterpillar known as Biz has been hanging in a professional brewing chrysalis for a few years and is ready to blossom into a glorious greater northern emperor cabbage moth. This translates to: I am heading back east and then OS and desperately need to jettison some gear. Pickup Perth (Freo)...

Seeing as seeds coming into WA are now the subject of inspection fees, I would like to start a register of interest for chilli or other seed swapping, or even tissue propagation swaps etc. I myself don't have much that is particularly special yet, but I have purchased a house, and I am trying...

I am trying to keep a record of my beer tastings. I appeal to those with more technical know-how or experience than myself for assistance here. I started a database on my PC using OO Base, and I realised that if I am taking a photo, it would likely come from my phone, so I may as well check...

After some searching, I thought I would create a thread specifically for showing off your beer glassware. I just picked up eight of these gems in an op shop for $15, I am stoked.

As per title, I'll be in Radelaide on 23rd (sat night) for work, and having never been there, I think I will check out The Wheaty at least. Anyone SA brewers up for a drink? Any suggestions other than The Wheaty? Cheers Dan

I saw this in the West Australian while waiting inn barber.

Just a shout out if anyone is keen for a beer tonight around Slurry Hills. We're stopping through and will have to at least make it to the Taphouse, perhaps others. Cheers, Dan

Has anyone tried the dry Lallemand CBC-1 "yeast for cask and bottle conditioning" http://www.danstaryeast.com/products/cbc-1...oned-beer-yeast Suggests good flocc, alc tolerance, speed and neutrality, though better as a priming/refermenting strain than primary. Reading between the lines, the...

I have two fermenters of funky beers which have had fruit added. They were both a pale wort, one was pitched with Wyeast Lambic, the other with Roselare, pitched to cube and fermented there in Jan. I have racked the lamic to glass about 6 weeks ago on 4kg morello cherries, and just chucked 2kg...

I have found that taking a picture of things that Google Goggles is not designed to deal with yields amusing results. Pictures of objects like my partner (did that raise a feminist eyebrow?), myself, or a beer have resulted in the following: Partner: rear of a Nissan, teddybear, hand holding a...

I just saw this in a Nalgene brochure while searching for information on which plastics able to be autoclaved. It turns out the Woolies "two fruit" container (PP) I had my eye on is suitable, though my HDPE taps are not. I would still like to know if I can autoclave a disposable syringe. I...

I came downstairs to this last night, forgetting I had placed a tap in a pot with enough water to cover on very low heat. Cooled with tap water No comment I think I will make it into an ugly fridge ornament to remind me to set a timer for things like this.

I know next to nothing about the winemaking world. If one had a shopping list of the following yeast strains, where would one go to purchase such items? Lalvin 33 Uvaferm CM Lalvin RA17 VL3 Lalvin 71B Any suggestions appreciated.

Has anyone made a PID/other controlled recirculated BIAB vessel? I am in the middle of a 3v brewery build, and I keep thinking how easy it would be to control an electric boiler (pot with element or Crown style urn) with a PID, put a little raised FB in the bottom for the bag to sit on and...

I do not yet have a dedicated HLT vessel, and unlike the many, seemingly obligatory, previous superfluous purchases, I just want this right. I will be supplying to an 80L MLT and 100L kettle, looking at regular 44L - 66L finished boil volumes - more on occasion where I wish to push it...

http://www.tinymixtapes.com/news/ghostface...e-beer-his-name Unofficial, but I think of him when people mention the 'ghost pepper'. There is also a Jesus Lizard one. I would guess that David Yow is high in cohumulone.

Hey all HERMS experts. Can I please request some imput on the liquid flow diagram for my system. I know that some symbols are wrong etc, and that there is no indication of a coil in the HX, please excuse dodgy diag. Basic system criteria: Single pump As small footprint as possible and...

After reading a thread today regarding glass carboy safety, I thought I would post my setup. I like to rinse and clean my carboys outdoors, I have no lawn, and cleaning a glass carboy on hard surfaces scares me. So I came up with a quick and dirty equivalent of the demijohn wicker base - tying...

I purchased some raw American oak chips, which were the largest chips available in the HBS. They are not as large as I'd like, I'd say around 1/3 the size that would normally come out of a big woodchipper like Asplundh etc use. I was looking to get a range of toast levels into my beer to kind...

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/263/54731 I was looking for material on toasting American oak for wood-ageing a beer, and ended up looking at this beer. Has anyone tried it? Has anyone seen it available in Australia or know if it is coming in?
