Right, I have started the cleaning up of the garage in prep for moving and I realised I have a mountain of bottles that I just never use any more. All free to whoever wants to come get them, otherwise they will be progressively meeting the recycling bin. Plus if anyone comes and takes THE LOT...

Just been doing some reading as I'm currently putting myself on a dry fortnight on account of my drinking getting too out of control over the last few weeks (I'm sure all the family related crap I posted elsewhere has contributed to this) and I found a term that I'm not ashamed to say probably...

Evening brewers, Just spent the afternoon tidying up the garage/brewery and came across my old mash tun. Wife was about to dump it on the pile for council cleanup but I figured I should offer it out here first. First to fire me a PM gets it.

Just a thought I had while at the shops, and figuring we have a large cross-section of ages here it would be a good spot for a discussion. Right, back story of how I got this idea in my head. I was just at the local shops and was on my way back to the car, I only had three small bags of stuff...

Made this one up this arvo from a baking tray, a grille and some screws I bought at a local recycling shop for a total of $1 The brackets I found under the laundry sink, no idea where they came from but might as well use them...

Figured this section is a good spot to place this one. I've recently purchased a fridgemate and got it all wired up and good, only problem is the lack of a fridge for it to run. Normally I'd call my brother in law as he owns a ute, but he has recently joined the army and I have no idea who has...

Coopers HB spoons (you know the big plastic white ones, we probably all have at least lying about) are useful for more than just stirring K+K....... I had a stuck sparge the other day that wouldn't clear, turns out the braid had completely collapsed right at the end and was not letting much...

After watching too much Jamie at home last night, we decided to make one of the recipes for dinner tonight. Coiled pork and beef sausages served on a bed of roasted veges and topped with a red onion gravy.......So tasty.

One of my kegs popped a leak today (it appears some dopey shite took a grinder to the junction of the base seam and the vertical seam......god only knows why), luckily it was only full of water at the time. Ross being the champ he is has agreed to replace the body of the keg for me, meaning...

Over the last week I have managed to convince the wife that her parent's offer of taking our daughter for the weekend so we can have a weekend away should not be wasted and we should hit up the Bitter and Twisted this year at Maitland..... We have our hotel booked, roughly 900m away from the...

Drove back from Canberra today, decided to swing by the Old Goulburn Brewery to sample their wares. Tried the: Goulburn Gold: 2.7% quite flavoursome light Fine Sparkling Ale: A traditional real ale, quite tasty. Goulburn Stout: Made with no hops. After sampling decided to purchase a couple of...

I seem to have stumbled across a rather interesting "allergic" reaction to something in commercial beer. I have always had shocking acne from when I was a teenager, never really shock it as I hit my mid twenties, then I started AG brewing... Since then I have had times where I have had a few...

I was just cleaning up the cupboard and decided take a photo of the glassware collection while it was out. I think I now own more beer glasses than non-beer ones...

Okay, here is my problem, I just bought a 500gram block of US05, and totally neglected to consider how I will store it as I use it..... I don't have a vacuum sealer, nor any CO2 I could purge packaging with...... Would plastic ziplock bags cut it?

Sudden random hopburst IPA.... Was doing a scan over the inventory last night and thought, yeah, I might make an IPA, always wanted to do so.... Then I started to check my hop stocks, lots of bits and pieces but mostly under 40g of each variety....Then I got the idea, hopburst.... Observe the...

Well, backstory time... Our hot water system has just decided that it's pilot light is all it wants to burn, not much for heating the water.... So we call the real estate agent (we rent), the soonest their "emergency hot water guy" can get here is tomorrow morning... Now I start work at 4am...

In celebration of the missus getting her first paycheque in years this week (she has returned after taking are of our daughter for the last 2 years) my inlaws have agreed to come mind said child so we can go out for lunch..... Only problem is, a lack of locations come to mind.....We were...

Well, my urn arrived this morning, less than 20hours since I ordered it. As I said earlier this week, I am happy to post many pics...... Here's the ones from today's testing of the urn (ingredients should be here tomorrow) Just out of the box Test fitting the bag With it's $4.99...
