The newly renovated Lilydale Larder (pub) is hosting a modest do on Sunday 20th Oct from 3pm. I think there's a plan for some bratwurst or similar and live music was mentioned. They've commited to putting some craft beer on for the occasion as well as making a couple of taps available for home...

Brewers and beer appreciators in Northern Tasmania are formally invited to attend the inaugural meeting of what is planned to become a regular event in Launceston, with all the benefits a beer appreciation gathering (aka Brew Club) can provide like organising bulk buys, brew days, family...

I was thinking about 60l fermenters. I usually well always brew double batches so have 2 30l fermenters on the go most of the time. My current sytem is a bit spread out but there's still a bit of lifting - into the fermenting fridge, out of the fermenting fridge, into the chest freezer, out of...

Only have a couple, prefer Launceston handover if poss, happy to swap for beer or open to offers!

Calling all Tassie folk Don't know about you but I often feel a bit left out of all these good time gatherings, case swaps, brew days etc etc so figured it would be good to make a plan to meet up with some fellow brewers. Given the geography it would make sense to do something that has an...

Hi Have just dug up some POR rhizomes and a good thing, they were looking set to take over. For the most part they are around 10cm and each has a few shoots. There are a couple of much larger ones I'd be interested in swapping, preferrably for hops but try me. Ten dollars for the rhizomes, plus...

Greetings and ho ho ho etc I'm about to attempt my first AG and have gone for Dr Smurto's Golden Ale recipe - looks nice thanks Dr. Just wondering if anyone has any wise words about yeast. I'm planning to use some recultured Chimay yeast I have on hand as other options aren't readily available...

I had a few days in Perth last week and (obviously) drank a few beers. I'm thinking I might have found a record beer price - Hoegarden at a pub in Claremont (don't quote me on the pub - pretty nice place full of young yuppie types, somewhere between the city and the beach). So anyway I went to...

Just wondering if anyone has made a leffe stout and if so sugegstions on a ~preferably beginner friendly ~ recipe would be appreciated. thanks...

Ahoy Just following on from the SA thread - wondering if anyone in Tas is doing any propogating/rhizome digging and interested in sharing the love around? I've had a chat with a hop dealer in Hobart who said he might be able to get a few but is a bit Xsy. Local farmer wasn't too thrilled about...

An elderly couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Texas . Bert always wanted a pair of authentic cowboy boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything different about me?' Margaret...

Ahoy I'm into a few kit brews with additives and have been having a bit of trouble getting enough head (love life's fine thanks before you ask...). I've recently been advised that it's best to have no space between the wort and the fermenter to ensure no oxidisation, even if this means...
