Hey guys, Gonna have a few mates over for a brew day, show them how to put a simple brew together. Now most of them would be VB/Carlton drinkers so I was wondering if anyone has a nice partial recipe for a simple ale nothing to offensive as they would say but something they'd enjoy. Also gonna...

Hey Guy's, Have a birthday coming up and have been told my all the major relos that I'm getting cash seeing as its "almost impossible to buy things for you (meaning me)" (and here's me thinking I'm just a mere simpleton who enjoys beer). Anyway been thinking I might acquire some new brewing...

Hey Guys, Picked up some massive rhyzomes today and took some cuttings from them, have about 10 chinook, 10 POR (both with varying sizes but all look healthy) and 2 small Goldings. Anyway thinking $5 a pop or a few bottles of your finest home brew I'm not fussed. Would prefer pickup but will...

Hey Guys Bought a hop rhyzome from a member off here a little over a year ago and I think its a male plant. Didn't notice and flowering or cones last season but did some reading and a few articles said that this can be normal first time round. Anyway wondering if there's an easy way of telling...

Hey Guys, long time no see. Was in Perth/Freo not to long ago and came across a pretty bloody good beer in the Sail and Anchor called Brass Monkey. Have searched around for this one but no joy. Wondering if anyone knows a place in Melbourne that has it on tap atm. Don't think they bottle it...

Hey Guy's, Made an amber ale the other day (first AG in about 6 months) and noticed that my burner was corking a lot better than normal and dring the boil the wort went nuts an was practically foam. so I'm just wondering if you can have to vigorous a boil or not. Cheers Aaron

Hey guys, Found this link while looking at the red hill brewery web page and thought I'd share it, I'm really suprised at how many breweries there are from my house that are driving distance http://www.redhillbrewery.com.au/pdf/VAMI_MBREW4_LR_0509.pdf Aaron

Hey Guys, Had myself a 3 ravens golden ale the other night and it was pretty nice, the only offputting thing is that it had a plasticy taste to it. I've had this in some of my brews (only ever kit and kilo ones back in the day), I always thought it was the PET bottles until I was told...

Hey Guy's Wondering if anyone knows where i could purchase a keg of JSAA, I've seen the kegs on legs (and alike) web pages and they seem a bit expensive given that I have gas, reg and lines. All I need is the keg and a conector for it. Any ideas ? Cheers Aaron

Hey Guy's, The Fed Square Showcase is on again 17th and 18th of March. Click here for more info. If you've not been before I'd highly recommend it, went last year on St.Patrick's day with 2 of my mates (one of which doesn't drink beer) and we all had a blast, good opportunity to talk to the...

G'dat guys, Organising my 21st and am looking for a place to hold it, I've had a look at the usual spots around melbourne (Terminus, JSBH, Terminus, Stolgate) but am wondering if there's anywhere else that does a function room, good beer (micro brew and alike) and party food. Wanting somewhere...

Wondering if anyone has a James Squire IPA recipe (all grain preferably). Had a bottle of it the other night and I thought it was a cracker, shame my local doesn't sell it Cheers Aaron

Hey guys, Was about to keg an amber ale just there and noticed that my beer has clumps of yeast suspended throughout the beer, given that I've bottled up until now it's never been a problem, however I plan to force carb the beer so it's ready for tomorrow and am wondering will the clumps...

Hey Guys, I've decided to enter a brew into the Beerfest comp for 2010 (my first entry into a brew comp) and just after a few pointers from some veterans. Thinking of submitting an English pale ale, I've read the style citeria and think I've got a good idea of how to make the beer and...

Hey guys, I've recently put together my kegging system and have been trying to balance it. I've used an excel spreadsheet (crozdogs) to determine the length of beer line I need as well as reading the wiki topic on "hoe to balance a graught system" and am pretty sure the beer is carbed...

Hey Guys, I used an immersion chiller for the for the first time on the weekend, have been using the no chill method up until now, just wondering about the trub (congealed proteins and that not) that precipitates out of solution and whether or not it's OK to go into the fermentor or not. When...
