I used the above link to subscribe, no dramas at all for international order and didn't need to fax anything.

Subscribed!

I wonder if i will get this issue or the next addition.

Only purchased the Jan addition @ borders yesterday. Whats the usual turnaround tie for the addition to the door from subscription date?

 

[Supra-Jim]

From memory i received my first issue about 2-3 weeks after i subscribed. Was a lot faster than i expected.

When you subscribed they would have sent you a confirmation email, it tells you what issue will be sent and the day it will be sent.

Thank you for your order!

...


The current issue is Mar/Apr 2009 and it
will be mailed on 3/5/2009.

Thanks again - Subscription Department


So it will be sent out on the 5th of March aye! Hmmm i guess you all got yours dispatched on the 5th of Feb maybe.

Atleast the wait wont seem as long for Zymurgy now as i will also have BYO in my hands!

*Excellent*

Big ups to pioneers and pimps of the BIAB Pistolpatch and Thirstboy for the recognition of the process by John Palmer. Also big ups to QLDs own Screwtop and all the other HBers for getting their recipes printed in the mag and to all the rest of the Aussie contributors. Its great to see BYO taking a big interest in OZ, hopefully down the track we might see something about the Kiwis.

cheers

Got my copy last night and have read most of it already.

Wont comment on most of it until more people have read it but 1 thing that stood out a bit was the suggested carbonation level for aussie pale/sparkling ale

3.5 vol CO2.

Is this a typo? That seems closer to champagne than beer but since my keg system is set up to 1.6 its beyond my experience. :unsure:

CSA doesnt seem THAT fizzy to me.

I recently commented on the KI pale ale which i found to be way over the top in carbonation and was told by the brewers that it was carbed to 3.0 vol CO2.

Maybe my palate has mutated to the english way...... :beer:

FWIW we gas champagne to 5.7 - 5.8 gv or converted 10.8 - 11.2 gpl Co2.

3.5gv is still a little way off but still high I would have thought for carbonating of beer.

Just saw it - they include Geoff Prince's winning BoS recipe.

Remarkably, the BoS appears to be another kit + extract + partial RIS... sound like a familiar story? AABC a couple of years back?

Congrats to Geoff on getting international recognition with an extract brew! Top work

Just discovered this morning that Tanunda newsagency now stocks this fine publication for any Barossa lads out there. Picked up the Dec & Jan/Feb issues, should keep me busy over the weekend.

 

[drsmurto]

There are a lot of very suspicious looking characters in that BBC photo ..... h34r:

a kit BoS in our national comp? GMK would be proud!

Got my copy yesterday but have not had a chance to read it yet.

Just a quick flick through

 

[Murcluf]

Just went down to bogans paradise to see if the news agent stocked BYO and to my suprise they did but it was only the Jan/Feb issue they told me they will be getting the next issue in on the 6th of March man thats another week i have to wait until I see my ugly mug in a septic mag. On the positive BYO mag is only $6.95 there, you guys in SYD are getting ripped off wildly

 

[Cortez The Killer]

@ $6.95 it's cheaper than becoming a subscriber at the moment $28USD + $17USD = $70AUD = $8.75 per issue :huh:

and still better than 2 years $44USD + $34USD = $121AUD = $7.60 per issue

I'm gonna talk to some local newsagents when my subscription runs out - luckily i got it when the AUD was good!

Cheers

In the recent Sparkling ale episode on the Jamil show they claim that Aussie Sparkling ale is carbed at 3 volumes. I find it to be less gassy than megaswill and is more likely to be about 2 volumes. Anybody agree with me on this?
