Hi, My big bertha cold chesty freezer has to find a new home. She's treated me well over the years but because of space conditions it's time to let her go. I've just unplugged her and popped her outside. :( I don't know how much she's worth but she's working with some signs of age and $50...

I've got bottles. You can have them if you want them. If you have Cisco networking equipment you don't want then I'll take that off your hands. In the mean time though I've got these bottles I want to give away. Option A; The first person to PM me will receive a map soaked in tea water...

I went to LC in freo this weekend for a meal and comedy and I swear the Pale Ale tastes different. Are they using different seasonal hops or something? The mouth feel was great for a pale ale and the malt flavours didn't linger so a nice crisp beer. Although the American style citrus punch...

Ahoi hoi. Has anyone else made a simcoe amber ale? I've had a simcoe amber ale cold conditioning for 2 weeks or more. It's time to keg this baby. The last time I tried an amber ale I used Amarillo and some of my friends said it reminded them of Mary Jane. :icon_cheers:

I've got a recipe I winged which I've topped up to 21 litres in the carboy. I'd like to do a gravity reading and taste test tonight to see how it's going but my thoughts are with the high IBU I could up the alcohol content and have myself an IPA? Amount Item Type % or IBU 1.70 kg Dark Liquid...

Hey fellas, I want to find out what lagering actually does to beer. What effects does keeping beer at low temperatures have? My simple understanding is that it drops the yeast out and over the longer period of time makes it a much clearer beer. I've read a couple sites this morning just...

I love my beer glasses gents. I've got dimple ones, standard pub pint glasses, speciality beer glasses ie. Duvel, Lwenbru, Redback(old and new), James Squire. I even bought a tiny glass for tastings. It's so cute I love it. My favourite session glass though is a schooner (about 425ml). It's a...

I'm chasing a particular street cred kind. They're the black/blue/white triple layer ones that are like surf boards for your feet. I'm open to buying on line otherwise if someone in Perth can give me a heads up on the store I'm all ears. I'll see if I can find a pic of what I'm talking about.

Hey chaps, I'm interested in the effect of adding the last of my extra @ the 15min mark and how this impacts hop efficiency. One because the SG is so high I'll hardly get any bitterness from late additions. And two that adding the last of the extract stops the rolling boil. I left my brew to...

I didn't think I was that bogan but I've been walking around with a piece of glass in my foot for the last week. I figure it hurt because I'd stepped on some glass but didn't brother to really dig deep. I got some out on first inspection and some more just came out now. I must have my summer...

This is a question I had from another post. And although it was answered I feel the need to know more. So why is it so hard then? Couldn't you just use a butt load of pilsner malt and totally convert it?

It's half ten on a Thursday. I've just kegged a ginger beer and as it turns out I'm all out of gas. :lol: Luckily I had enough for my first and possibly last pour of APA tonight. It looks like a mad dash to a LHBS tomorrow for gas exchange will be on the cards or a trip during lunch as I...

I picked up some of this bad boy for a planned SNPA brew. Can anyone comment on this yeast as I've mainly used US05? PRO-10 AMERICAN SIERRA ALE YEAST http://www.gryphonbrewing.com.au/store/pro...products_id=372 I'll try make 2 x 1ltr starters from it and go from there. :icon_cheers:

Last night I figured the APA had been CC'ing long enough. When I took the carboy out of the fridge I heard that ice slushy sound :o I figured meh and kept going. Accidental experiments are cool right? Hell yeah! My fridgemate couldn't have come sooner :rolleyes: - 4mins of not much

What is everyone doing this weekend? I don't know what I'm brewing but I'll work that out today. That doesn't matter though because tonight is Pizza and Beer night. Probably some B grade movie will be watched while all this delicious food and beverage is being consumed. I can't wait for...

So I'm brewing on this loverly evening and the yeast I had doesn't seem to be lively. I've had to sitting in warm water for a good 30+ minutes and I'm used to US05 sprouting a nice head of foam. Being a generic yeast from the LHBS I figure it might just be dead yeast. If not that's great but...

Hey all you fellow aspiring publicans! I wanted to hear about other peoples traditions or habits. My most common drinking tradition is Friday night AFL with pizza and several beers. In the off season beers and pizza are still had it's just done with a movie or sitting outside with the fellas...

I've been pretty busy lately and this has had me question how important things are so I can manage my time better. It all started when I began wondering if brewing was a hobby or an obsession. Now by definition a hobby is an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as...

Hey chaps, For those in the Perth area the international beer shop in West Leederville has imported some SNPA. I'm not sure if this is a regular thing but I was chasing some down over the weekend and found out these guys were getting some in. Left my details and got a call saying it came in...

Hi All, Intro This will be my first for a couple things. First time using liquid yeast. First time using unhopped liquid malt. First time conditioning a beer for longer than a couple weeks. First time I've had a couple of kegs of beer to stop be drinking this beer too quickly. :D Body In...
