Hi all, after upgrading to a glycol setup I'm selling my old fermentasaurus and Immersion Pro/Brewjacket setup. I've probably done about 20 brews with this setup. It works really well for the small footprint it takes up, I've had it in a garage on 40C days and it keeps ales at 20C no problem...

Hi all, I'm getting a new 3 tap kegerator and I can't seem to find these taps anymore, so I'm putting my two up for sale and going with 3 Perlicks. I can't have mismatching taps :D. They are the full stainless steel model with flow control, purchased from Craftbrewer about 10 years ago...

Hi guys, looking at getting back into brewing after a long break, does anyone have any experiences with these? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162873623872 Thanks, James

Hi everyone, not brewing much and due to a house move I'm getting rid of some of my brewing equipment. I don't check the forum very often anymore so if you are interested email my at [email protected], I'll try to check back occasionally though. Pickup is from East Geelong now or from...

Hi everyone, I was reading a brewboard thread the other day which seems to confirm that the Wyeast Sweet Mead 4184 is actually 1084 Irish ale? http://www.brewboard.com/index.php?showtop...056&hl=4632 (Post 10) Anyone heard of this? I'm hoping so because it's one in my collection and I...

Hi everyone, I just wanted some advice from people who had brewed Braggots before. I'm planning on brewing one based on a Brown ale recipe of mine that I quite like, with about 50% of the 1.080 OG coming from honey. My question is, what short of FG should I be expecting? I use 1469 in this...

Hi, I'm into my second dry mead at the moment, and my next I'm planning on adding some fruit to a sweeter mead. Was considering using Wy1272 which tolerates about 10% alcohol, which in my 1.100 OG must I'm assuming would ferment to about 1.020-1.025. I've been reading a lot of the...

I was just playing around in beersmith, and was wondering about designing an imperial stout. Say my normal recipe for a stout calls for (and i've simplified the recipe to make my question easier): 4.5kg pale malt 90% 0.5kg roast malt 10% If I was to design a imperial stout, would I simply...

Hi, has anyone notices there are a few new malts at Craftbrewer from what I am assuming is a maltster called Simpsons? Golden Naked Oats (15EBC), Imperial malt (23EBC) and Areomatic malt (31EBC). It's good timing, my next brew was going to be a Oatmeal stout so I might give the oats a go...

Is it just me or do other people have issues with buying a Heineken/Becks/other contract brewed beer from a restaurant that's selling it as 'imported' beer. I don't necessarily mind the contract brewed 'imported' beers, they're certainly better than a lot of options at restaurants. It's just...

Hi Everyone, I've just ordered the grain for my first lager, with a recipe based on the Helles from the Jamil show. I'm having trouble deciding between Wy2206 and Wy2124 though. The problem is that I've done searches on this site and read heaps, but everyone says they're both good yeasts...

Hi Everyone, I was in Purvis cellars in surrey hills the other day spending too much money, and the guy mentioned that they have a new website. So in case you didn't know: http://www.purviscellars.com.au/ I was amazed at the selection of beer. James

Thought I'd share with you a place I found. I went out to dinner last night at a place on Nicholson St in Carlton north called Bar Fred. It had one of the best beer menu's I'd found in Melbourne (up there with lambsgo bar in my opinion), and the Pizza was great. Reasonable prices too I...

I've done about 20 AG beers now, and have been averaging about 70% efficiency into the boiler using domestic malts (powells, JW, even weyermann now I think on it). I used marris otter for the last 4 brews over the last fortnight, and for the first 2 I got 90% into the boiler, and the last 2 I...
