Gday All, Just sending out an invitation to any AHB members who are interested in attending Corio Bay Brewers 2014 Brew Day. It will be held in Clifton Springs (20 mins south of Geelong) this Saturday May 17. Style for the day is Robust Porter and we currently have 6 members brewing up...

Only used for 10 or so brews before an unsupervised Saturday night on the net with a credit card and a few too many beers landed me with a monster mill. I am asking $60 + $10 postage Aus wide PM me if you're interested

So last night i added a pack of wyeast lacto to 1 litre of 40C wort @ 1.040. The starter has been held at 40C in a rice cooker but as yet I see no visible sign of activity. Does lactobacillus normally foam up similar to yeast or is it more subdued? I have never used lacto before so not sure what...

Style of the Month: American Pale Ale This month's entry numbers were the largest I have seen during my time at the club, with 11 entries in total! It was great to see so many quality beers in the mix and it really did go to show how many great brewers we now have in the club. Congratulations...

Hi Guys, Hoping someone with a little knowledge of electronics may be able to help me out with my kegerator. I came home tonight and it was beeping very loudly and flashing "EE" on the digital display. I turned it off then turned it back on again and it went back to normal. Fridge kicked in and...

Hi, I have a strong dark belgian ale fermenting currently which had an O.G. of 1.100. Yeast strain WY1762 . Seems to be fermenting nicely so far. I was hoping to naturally carbonate in the keg as I would normally do (with 100 g table sugar) but am a little unsure as to how easily the yeast...

Link Anybody had experience with these taps? I am keen to get some flow controlled faucets and these are a lot cheaper than Celli's!

I tasted the James Squire Abbey Ale at the Beer and Brewer Expo in Melbourne on the weekend and I have to say that is an awesome beer! The missus loved it as well so I forked out $20 for a six pack of the stuff. Not sure I want to keep paying that so I am going to attempt to brew something...

Okay, so just purchased a twin tap Pinnacle Kegerator off ebay (the new "2010 edition") and need to know what extras I should order from Ross. I understand the beer lines are crap so will probably need to get some Valpar line, but am not sure about the fittings/joiners/tees etc Anyone who is...

Hi all, just a quick question... what is the height and diameter of the 19L Cornelius Kegs?

I currently have a stout bubbling away and noticed on the wyeast website that the yeast I am using requires a diacetyl rest following fermentation. Quote: "Thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete". I understand why and how you do it with lagers, but in a stout that...

I'm planning a Knappstein Lager clone and am thinking with such a light beer it would be a good idea to get the water profile right. My local water provider has said they can't give me with a water analysis so I am considering using my still to purify the water, then adding the required salts to...

I recently picked up a 50L kegs and need a decent burner to handle a wort boil of about 30L (max). I don't have a regulator or stand either, so would be interested in buying those too. cheers

I have a bunch of stuff that I want to use up and have come up with this unconventional (probably crazy) recipe. Obviously if it is not going to be drinkable I don't want to waste my time... so any comments on it would be great. Just to note... the Pilsner, Wheat and Flaked Barley are already...

Hi Guys, So I ordered some grain from my HBS and had it sent... but instead of putting rolled oats in the bag they put flaked barley. It is all mixed up and milled now so can't separate it. They were nice enough to send me my original order again.... but was wondering if you could give me a...

Hi guys, I bulk primed and bottled some Pale Ale about four days ago and was a little silly in that I left the bottles in the garage. I went in there today and it was like 40 degrees or more (and probably has been for 2 days) and I am wondering if the beer will be stuffed now. Have moved it...

Hi everyone, I am preparing for my first AG and have decided to make it a Belgian Wit (the only beer my girlfriend likes :angry: ). I have bought all the ingredients from Grain and Grape but really am not sure about the mashing regime and water volumes for mashing in and sparging I need. This...
