Hey gros21 I,ll be in Rocky on 8th feb to 12th and again on 8th Mar to 12th. I'll be up there at least 6 times for a week a time. I can drop over to your place and show you the basics of how it works. If youve got the equipment we could do a brew or even a partial.

Cheers Brad

 

[gros21]

With a bit of planning, happy to have a brew day to fit in with your trip & show you the ropes.

cheers Ross

 

[gros21]

ill hold u 2 that ross might make it line up with a se qld bulk grain buy.
also ross i know u can't exactly give out custumer details but do u know if there are any ag brewers up this way.

once i move in and get the place settled in ill start to save.

ross could u give me a basic equipment guide.

i had a look at the guide

mash turn (esky) i have a spare 95l

manifold (false bottom) i will make one out of coper pipe or stanless braid as per 1000 yankie youtube vids

boiler i have some OLD legally bought kegs might try to get it weleded so i have a single 75L+ one or is there a cheap alternate eg plastic drum that is safe for 100 degees?

gas burner easy as.

hot water a cheap urn will do i guess

mill my remote location relly requires a mill.

do i need a chiller or is the no chill cube method the go?

As I am!

Airfares to the Sunshine Coast are cheaper than going all the way to Brissy & a brewday at my place would attract all most the dedicated brewers (I think?)
Could collect you at SC Airport with an overnight stay if it suits you but I'm sure that a trip to the Mecca of all Queensland brewing sounds much more attractive? --- BIG smile Rossco?
Invitations by invite only on application & are limited to 10 if this ever happens?h34r:

TP :beer:

PS --- exclusive membership to Sharkbait Brewery is limited but free to foundation members. You might be the first?:lol:

Edit --- Just saw your post gros.

Something to measure your water/wort temps, another pot to heat up strike water, a copy of beersmith , a read of this article http://www.beerdude.com/howto_brew_allgrain.shtml and you will be just about set

If money is tight you can put your boil kettle in the bathtub too cool, drain water once it warms up and refill water with some added ice for round 2.

In Rocky a few times a year [wifes rellies] let you know [if I remember,more senior moments now ] next time we are in town.

Flying Up there for work (teaching apprentices) staying at villa capri If you can grab yourself a cheap SS stock pot from cheap shop. I'll bring my manifold, marga mill+spade bit
thermometer and a coupla kilo of grain should fit in my luggage(got any hops?). We could do a partial at your place which would give you an indication of what youre in for if you make it to Ross' or Petes .

Cheers Brad

Gday Gros,

there's Jakechan in Gladstone who I think is also trying to get into AG, also quite a few AG brewers a little further south around Bundy, 1770, Hervey Bay etc.

I can't promise anything as I'm notoriously unreliable but there were whispers of an upcoming brewday in Bundy.

cheers

[TidalPete]

Hervey Bay etc.

Slightly off-topic, but has anyone heard from brianK from the Bay as I PM'd him last September & have had no response so far.
At his (My) age anything could have happened to him health-wise?

TP :beer:

 

[gros21]

I sent him a PM when I wanted to sit in on a Brew day, he replied and said he had been slack on AG lately and gave me his ph. number to organise something, I never called as I sat in on Screwys brew day..

The LHBS guy said when I asked how many he knew of that did AG in Hervey Bay, that there was 2, 1 was BrianK and he said he was doing alot of Fresh Wort Kits of late..

 

[bonj]

wow guys u are all very helpfull!!!!

I was going to say that's the Queensland way, but from the other AHBers I've met around the place, I have to say it's the AHB way. If you want to be on the Queensland Brewerhood mailing list, PM me your email address, and I'll add you (in about a week, when I get back from holiday... can't seem to access my email from here... )

Haven't been down the Bay for a long time. I might even bring a few beers?
