Apparently Murray's at Manly has gone and in it's place the Rubber Duckie Taphouse, which features a bunch of Murray's beers as well as other craft beers. http://www.rubberduckietaphouse.com.au/

I created a starter from this and it had an unusual smell. Didn't smell off or anything, it smelled kinda really sweet - hard to describe scent. I thought it may have been a dodgy vial so I tipped it and created another starter - same thing. The starter wort is sound and I have made 2 beers...

Got a few Qs for HR Randal use. A search didn't find these specific questions: - how many grams of hops do you use for a full keg? - do you use the fast flow adapter? - does the initial batch of hops last the entire keg without getting grassy or losing aroma? I only used it once as a Randal; I...

Variation on "is my brew fermenting yet" :huh: I have only just got into splitting yeast into vials and then creating starters. Have been speaking with other brewers, and referencing Wolfy's guide which is very good. I created a lager starter recently, which when pitched didn't kick off and...

Hello brewers. I have had a Rambo burner for about 2 - 3 years, and noticed quite a few of the jets are blocked. There is lots of soot produced, the bottom of my pots are black. Pretty sure this is related. Am thinking of drilling them back out, is this the right approach? Anyone else...

Who has the highest number of posts, and highest average daily postings on AHB? Has anyone cracked the five figure mark (10,000 posts and above)? Do high posters generally add high value?

Hi - i am looking at buying / making a new party keg. I have trolled e-bay and seen a few "how-to make party kegs" articles on here and other places which are quite old; I am wondering though if there are any new innovations that anyone has come up with? Or any commercially available that...

Hi - I bought a CO2 bottle and kegging kit < 2 weeks ago. I went to pour myself a beer...and the CO2 bottle is empty!! The bottle is 6.8kg. I had one leak in the gas post because of an ill-fitting poppet, which was blocked when the gas was connected (planning to fix it after the keg is...

Hi Chaps (and chap-ettes) I am inviting a few friends over for a tasting sesh - anyone found decent tasting glasses? Would like to get 200ml (or less) sized glasses, similar to what they have at bier festivals. Hard plastic or glass would be preferable.

Hi all, A couple of Sydney brewers are ordering a pallet of grain from CraftBrewer at the end of this week. A pallet can hold 36 bags; we have space for 3 more. If you're interested let me know by PM and I'll send you the details (but be quick, these will go fast).

Hi, Two weeks ago I brewed a pilsner, chilled the wort to about 24 degrees and pitched the yeast. The next morning the fermenter was bubbling nicely, so I put moved it to my fridge and reduced the temp to 11 degrees. The bubbling stopped within a few days or reducing the temperature (about 10...

Hi, I have broken a few stick thermometers (will get a decent one soon!) - where can you buy these apart from HB shops? Unfortunately my closest HB shop is quite a drive, especially just to get one item.

Hi brewing brethren - I am thinking of cranking a pilsener, however I don't have any hallertauer for the finishing hops. I have plenty of Saaz and Cascade though, and was thinking of using the Saaz as per normal, but substitung the Cascade for the last couple of minutes of the boil - has anyone...

Hi - I recently (Wednesday) brewed my first all-grain, a pilsener. After reading infinite articles, forums and books about AG brewing I stumbled through the processand made a few mistakes, notably: - not enough water as i only ended up with 17 litres. i have since read lots of articles on...
