    Chest freezer recommendations

    I could also have posted this in brew food. Looking for a few recommendations for a small, efficient chest freezer. While I would definitely chuck some hops in it, I'm mostly interested in storing bulk meat to support local industry and reduce visits to supermarkets. During summer especially...

    Stonedog Meadery

    Not brewery, beer or pub but relevant nonetheless. I have bought a few meads from Stonedog. All well priced, delivered (from nsw to tas) very promptly and all really tasty. In a few boxes, I've received a freebie/promtional tester, totally unexpected. Today it was a scottish braggot (wee heavy...

    Whitelabs yeast along the lines of wy danish

    Planning a lager or two in coming weeks. Previously, I've found wy danish the easiest to deal with - pitch two packs or make a decent starter and she ferments quickly and well, no diacetyl, creamed corn or shitty stuff. Where I shop now stocks WLP yeasts and I can't find an equivalent online...

    McGregor vs Mayweather

    I'm heading to a shit suburban pub on Sunday morning to guzzle cascade pints and watch this. Anyone else? If I was a betting man, my money would be on the undefeated boxer competing in a boxing match but a couple of things that should at least make it interesting. 1. There is an 11 year age...

    T-bone brewing

    Caught up with Liam Snorkel last night at T-bone in hobart. A brewery I've been meaning to visit for some time. Tried milk stout, ipa, pale, big stout and barrel aged stout. They have a few others (red ipa, hoppy lager, golden ale). All the ones I tried - very well brewed, tasty beers. Food I...

    WTB: honey in bulk, hobart area

    Wanting to access 5-7 kg of a lighter flavoured honey for a batch of mead. Hopefully the council changes its archaic regulations on suburban beekeeping soon so I can harvest my own but I'd love to put down a batch soon. Any recommendations?

    Stainless tig welding - 1.6 mm to 1.6 and 2.4

    I know there's a few experienced welders on here. Any tips or recommended settings for sturdy welding of small diameter stainless to either same diameter or slightly thicker? Had a crack yesterday and today and some came up ok but struggled to get a weld pool that wouldn't melt the thin parent...

    Cleaning metal file

    Possibly a slightly odd one: Got a metal file in our workshop that someone has annoyingly used to smooth a wooden surface at some point. Any tips on cleaning/removing the timber crud?

    Media coverage: protest re: proposed remote community closures

    A few weeks ago, the Herald Sun (bastion of unbiased, neutral reporting) described a protest group of around 4000 people as a selfish rabble because they disrupted the movements of pedestrians and some public transport during peak hour in Melbourne's cbd. For those unaware, the discontent was...

    EOI - masters shed (unbuilt) MELB

    I have to move house. New place has a big shed. When I moved to my current house, I bought a masters shed which I have pulled out of packaging but not set up. Now it is superfluous and I would like to get rid of it. From memory was more than $300 and less than 500, sloped roof, maybe 800-...

    4 corny kegs, $100, pickup only MELB (Carlton North)

    Yes $25 each for 4 secondhand corny ball lock kegs. Some caveats though - prefer to sell all 4 at once. Each has issues - mostly some leaks around the posts etc. I'm pretty certain these can be worked out - I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so at the moment and I have 4 others...
