Currently Phillip Island in Victoria has just one microbrewery called 'Rusty Waters'. The beer has been contract brewed by Jamesons Brewery and transported there I gather. The stuff is 'okay' from what I've tried at expos, but the brewery itself doesn't have an amazing atmosphere I'm told from...

Check out the food and beer pairing suggestions on this. Looks like you can have it with anything except beef. Handy they pointed it out. Link to more helpful suggestions: CUB's Food & Beer Pairing Hopper

Dabbling with beers on the spicy side currently. Got inspired by a talk by Radical Brewing Author Randy Mosher at ANHC last year. He handed out a bunch of different spices for the attendees to check out and got us all thinking about how a bit of spice in a beer can really enhance a brew...

I'm sure plenty of us have done it. You drive down the road and then something catches your eye. It's hard rubbish day and there's some nice stuff someone has put on their nature strip. It might be a motor from a washer to power a mill, a computer fan for a stir-plate build, an old fridge or...

Hi guys, Took advantage of the legal keg buy from the Local Taphouse and now have a Canadian 30L Sanke Keg (D coupler/CUB Coupler fitting). For those who don't know what a Sanke is they have the same spout, spear and coupler fitting as CUB kegs available here. Have opened the keg up to clean...

Hmmmm...wondering if someone can shed light on this mystery beer. Supposedly it was launched last year but damned if I've seen it anywhere. Apparently it's in Melbourne and Sydney (and possibly Tassie) It's won awards for packaging so I guess it looks good, but am wondering what the stuff...

Some interesting examples here at the moment. Including Jamieson's Brewery, a Brewpub in Geelong (Vic), Grumpys Brewhouse in Hahndorf (SA) and 3 Brew on Premise joints in QLD. Jamiesons Brewery Geelong Brewpub Grumpys Brewhaus Hopper B) Edit - Sorry Queenslanders - Couldn't get the links to...

This question is going to make me sound like a bit of a dill, but what the hell, everytime I post here I feel like a dill sometimes. I have 23kg of Joe White Crystal. A big ******* of a bag that I bought in the last grain bulk buy. Trouble is everything I brew with it - the beer turns out...

Hi guys, this is a question I should know the answer to after all the AGs I've done now, but you're never too old to learn a thing or two. Talking to a fellow ag'er the other day (who batch sparges like me) about recirculating the water out of your mash tun back over your grain and through...

Hi guys, This question has been bugging me a bit. I often open a recipe in a brew book and it looks like a ripper. Trouble is I can't do half of them 'cos the quantities are listed either in yank speak, pom speak or the recipe is an extract one. Does anyone have a good 'cheat sheet' that can...

Source:Page 2 of this Age Article Little World = Little Creatures. Hopefully Lion's shareholding isn't too high. I don't want to be accused of drinking megaswill! :ph34r: Hopper.

This could be interesting. Or it could be them selling a few desks and a filing cabinet. The auction catalogue comes out at 2pm tomorrow, so guess we'll find out if there's any goodies! MatildaBayClearance Got me curious :huh: Hopper.

I hang my head in shame. Northern Territorians out-drink my home state by the Darwin Stubby truckload. View their winning stats here: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/06...?section=justin :P Hopper

Hi guys, Have come across "Vienna Gold" hop on a couple of brewsites but there seems to be a lack of info out there in webworld. Despite having the name "Vienna" attached to it, I only seem to be able to find the pellets for sale on Oz brewsites which seems strange. Have noticed this hop is...

Ok. I get that hops balance a beer out flavour-wise. That said, has anyone considered leaving the hops untouched and seeing what happens? A pure no-hop all-grain beer. No spices, nothing. I'm not talking fruit beers, I'm not talking gruit beers. Or a medieval beer with twigs in it. I'm talking...

Ok, I've come to the understanding that to make a good AG wheat beer I need to do a protein rest. Trouble is I have no idea what one is. Or how to do one. Or what the benefit of doing one is. The searching I've done suggests the following: "A protein rest is a portion of the mashing process...

Look out, here comes the latest marketing gimmickry. Apparently a beer by a boutique brewery called Frost is soon to be launched in Sydney if you believe the article below. A low carb beer packaged in an aluminium bottle. Never heard of Frost Brewery. Anyone tried a beer by these guys...

Just ducked out to a home brewing retailer and they were totally out of Pride of Ringwood and said they wouldn't have them for quite sometime as there were shortages. Also told me that their US hop varieties will be taking a price hike in the coming months due to the US shortage. Got me a...

Am stoked. First All Grain brew went through the new All Grain setup without a hitch. It's in the cube now (no chill method) and smelling like tasty amarillo soup (Dr Smurto's Golden Ale). I am eager to put it in the fermenter, but the trouble is, I'm going to the beach for a week starting...

Hmmm, there are a few fans of low carb 'blonde' beers on this site. Anyone going to rush out to try this? Myself I'm not sure. No Carb Beer Article Hopper.
