hey guys, first time I dry hopped a clone of Smurto's Golden Ale, left the amarillo pellets in secondary vessel (just threw in a handful) and now went to rack to keg tonight and noticed bubbles on top of the beer? any idea what it is? is it an infection ? *edit* actually it's got the same...

just thought I'd share with you guys, promise to go "green" and they send you a year subscription of any mag you want, but there's a beer magazine. http://goreadgreen.com/beer-magazine/ it's all electronic, no actual paper book. but it's free.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find much info on what I am after: what are the side effects of racking to a secondary vessel say 5 days into a ferment? will it just continue to ferment at a slower rate in secondary? will it stop fermentation? or is pitching another yeast...

Hi guys, just curious to know if anyone wants to split my hop order with me. I don't see myself using all of it. I have: 1kg Pride of Ringwood pellets 1kg Hallertau Hersbrucker pellets 1kg East Kent Golding pellets 1kg Saaz pellets let me know, all up it'll cost you $100. PM if interested.

sorry BatZ I know you just wanted one, this offer is pretty damn good so thought I'd share with you guys http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/9616

does anyone know just what the hell this stuff is ? it looks like Vodka, tastes (apparently like Smirnoff Citrus/black) and is a beer drink. But it's clear as water? it's also 6% per bottle.

I tried a JSGA last night and found it simply the most amazing beer I've had for years. I want to create a clone, but on the siets they all mention US56 or US-05. I only have Safale S-04 yeast. Is there much difference between the two yeasts? I gather the 05 is a USA ale yeast? the Safale s04...

so last night and as the weather is heating up I've found some nasties buzzing around my taps, is there anything I can use to plug or cover them up as night as I'm done with them? maybe even a rubber balloon I guess, but I was hoping for something a little better.

this fits directly into a kegerator from eBay or you can screw it into the bench, it comes with no beer tap, but any Brumby style fits straight in. It's insulated (has insulation inside the tower) and is surplus to my needs I got a dual tap tower. any offers?

this is going to be a stupid question so I apologise, but I have no digital scales and used some cheap IKEA measuring devices my Mrs had in the pantry. I used 1/4 cup of pellets to make a Coopers Lager @ 25 minutes and another 1/4 later on so making it 1/2 cup EKG pellets. It's ridiculously...

I just finished watching this, it was a very interesting movie. If anyones interested, google has links to it

If anyone doesn't know, it's the crazy Australian stunt biker. Much like Evil Knievil, but much better IMO. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=MLejkyXbJlc there's the video of him JUMPING on to the top of the Arc on his motorcycle, riding around on top of it and then riding off the top of it on to...

I've had a few Beer books in my possession for a while now and thought I may as well share with you guys who might be interested. The first is titled: Beer - Health and Nutrition by Charles W. Bamforth the second is titled: Beer - Tap Into the Art and Science of Brewing - Charles W Bamforth...

Hey guys, ended up getting 100gm of Goldings pellets delivered today (5.5% aa) The thing is I want to replicate the beer I used to drink in the English pubs, hoping this is the sort of hop for the job. What would the best kit be as a starter to make a similar styled beer? Also, once I open...

hey guys, this may sound dumb, but how do I tighten a beer tap to the font? I\'ve got the spanner, but no matter what I do it\'s still loose. I have NO idea how to tighten this thing and I\'ve been mucking around for a fair while now, any tips or ideas? each time I try and turn the front bit...

Weird topic title, but I've just been paid $160 via PayPal for advertising on a website. I really can't be stuffed going through setting up a bank account, etc and linking to my account so want to spend it online on brew related stuff. I was thinking maybe two cornelius kegs (I have two...

Each pack includes: 1 x Jet Machine (white), 6 x portion pack flavours, 2 x PET bottles and 1 x 30L CO2 cylinder. $59 at ALDI, nation wide from December 18th. could these be used for party kegs, etc? might be a go-er guys :)

Hi all, just racked from secondary to keg, the berries on top of the brew looked fine and a taste revealed it was quite alright, however I noticed sitting on top of two or three berries was this white powder looking substance. similar to this, but only as big as a 50c coin, could this be an...

Hey guys, tonight I just pulled a full pint, after doing so I noticed the tap was leaking a bit. I moved the handle around various places, still leaking a tiny amount, is there any specific way the two nuts have to be screwed in on top of the tap? or what else would be causing it to leak, its...

I'm a bit of a turbo geek, so decided just to throw this up quickly. If anyone needs anything computer related answered or needs a bit of help with a program or piece of hardware or network, post here or drop me a PM. If you're not far from me in Sydney, I'll even come around if I have any spare...
