Introduce Yourself.

[Aaron]

Hi wrightyman

You should probably try the "Introduce Yourself" thread that can be found here:

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...p?showtopic=459

That is the best place to introduce your self. Some details about the type of pale you are making would assist with getting people to comment on it.

 

[user 1153]

might start with a pale ale any thoughts?

welcome

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Can't go wrong yum yum yum.

 

[Screwtop]

Lord Howe Island, wow Alice Springs and Lord Howe, AHB'ers are found in some out of the way places. Welcome Wrightyman, where/how do you get supplies. Would be a good place to visit for a brewday!

I don't think I've introduced myself yet.

I'm Andrew. I've been brewing for about 18 months (give or take), however much of that time I have been doing Sugar Washes for other things. In the process of this other hobby, we (a Mate and I) have a number of fermenters and other bits and pieces. I have commandeered one of these to start back up the Brewing.

I have an ESB Pilsner down, a Bitter Bottle Priming, and a Draught in the Fridge. All of which I have brewed Kit-and-Kilo style.

I hope that I can extend my knowledge with the information here. Thanks for the great resource.

Welcome Paxton

AHB is a wealth of information and more than likely to make you go out and spend more $ than you ever thought you would. its addictive. Theres always someone out there who has somehing that cathes your eye and you've gotta have it yourself. I thought it would be years until I went AG (no space etc), but now im considreing whether the kid really needs a bedroom and can I turn it into a brew room

Welcome

 

[tangent]

i know a brewer who had his lodger sharing a room full of blooping fermenters!
I'm sure your kid will get used to it.

Hi everybody. Been reading lots of good advice on this forum for a bit now. My wife now thinks I have a bit of a problem, spending way too much spare time reading posts and planning the next great brew.

Doing K&K mostly with malt & hop additions. Best so far been kit stout with liquorice extract and cracked roasted barley. Bloody beautiful.

Also am slowly collecting the gear to move to all grain. (eventually, may also have to move the car out of the garage).

Anyway, hope to get more involved in discussions and maybe get to know some brewers who know what they are doing.

Hey All,

Been lurking for a while so thought I should start contributing. Have been brewing for just under 6 months, started of doing Kit and Kilo's have moved to extract brewing now with the intention of going AG as soon as we get the equipment all sorted out.

As I type, me and my brew crew have 50 L of mead and 60 L of various beers on the ferment. Hopefully we'll be expanding that shortly to at total of a bout 250L.

As you can gather by the name, I enjoy my stouts and associated dark beers.

Anyway I'm sure I'll be contributing some more latter on.

Happy Brewing...

[Stuster]

Welcome, monkeybusiness and Captain Black Beer. Great to see keen new brewers here. :beer:

Looks like you are already on your way to making some good beer (and mead). :beerbang:

 

[Money Well Spent]

Gday,

I joined up to do some searching, and to get back into brewing.

I like most beers but prefer ones you cant see throught that well. Pale ales, stouts and wheet beers are probably my favorites.

I havent brewed in a while, probably a couple of years, so my first search is on how to clean the crud out old post mix kegs, Im brewing up 46l batch of ipa so I need to get onto the kegs now :chug:

Looks like a great site and im looking forward to some good recipes and hints.

Cheers
Dave

Oh yeah my user name is from a song I like about beer.

Hey Johnny
Does that tour involve Western Australia? There are plenty of brewers in Perth (1 less at the moment without Ant) and you could survive a couple of weeks here without ever having to resort to that nasty commercial beer. With this much warning I may even have time to put a different barley wine on each tap.

 

[barfridge]

I don't wanna sound queer or nothin, but I think I like you already Johnny Max.

Definitely leave some time free when you get to WA, we'll look after you

 

[Cracka]

Hi all,
Cracka here. New member, long time lurker.
Thought I'd introduce myself for my first post. I live in the New England area of NSW and have been brewing on & off for about 10 years now. Only ever done it out of a can h34r: . Just started to get into kegging and after finding the abundance of info on here will eventually move to partials & then maybe AG. I'm a mad Parramatta fan & am going to enjoy watching them beat the Bulldogs this weekend Well thats Cracka for now.


PS. Tony, thats not you in the picture of your posts is it.

 

[Cracka]

Yeh I know, I should have went before Johnny Max.

 

[amita]

JM welcome to WA, if the queen likes wine come and see us in Margaret River,plenty of different drops here, you might need some more time to make it over east!!we are good at entertaining our friends so pls be welcome,cheers amita

Hello everyone,

been scroting about the forum for a while. Have learnt massive amounts. probably time for me to start putting back in....suppose that's how communities like this work.

Been doing home brew for probably five years. started out just doing supermarket stuff, which was pretty ordinary. Read Laurie Straughan's book and learnt heaps. Then read charlie papazian's book and learnt about 15 times more, then read palmer and...praise the lord...do you see the light!!

have left the kits behind. spent too much time trying to brew lagers with S-23. just doesn't work with kits.

Have switched to ales and have done three extract brews, yet to taste one but.....I am now collecting the gear to go AG....palmer will do that to a man....

Have a 20L plastic bucket from bunnings that my old boy (a sparky) is going to fit with an element from a cheap electric kettle, that'll do for a starting HLT, have a 44L willow esky that needs to be fitted with a bulkhead fitting and a copper manifold for the mashtun. My 50L pot is sorted and I have a 3-ring burner that is more than a little bit frightening at times.....

bring it on.... hope I can help someone in some way some time soon.

Spencer

 

[skippy]

Why is S-23 no good with kits?

 

[matti]

Welcome Spencer. with twins!!??
Won't take long b4 you get totally hooked.
I dream beer, speak and live beer. to the dismay of my family.
Work seem to suffer occasionally too
better get back to it

Ps. S-23 with Kits are better then Kits with old can yeast.
W34/70 is more neutral but a lot harder to settle if bottling.

 

[EK]

Morning All.

I decided that it is time for me to introduce myself. I have been lurking through various topics for some time now and am very impressed with the quality and quantity of information available.

I have been brewing for about 3 or 4 years, initially kit and kilo but recently improving with better kilo combos (light malt extract, dark malt extract and such), finishing hops and different yeasts.

After seeing (via AHB) what is possible I want to move to a more extract/grain style and to kegs...just need to find the time and cash...and a decent supplier in Brisbane.

EK

 

[Spencer]

What I mean to say is that brewing a true lager is really difficult unless you have good temp control. sorry for the confusion about s-23. just re-read my post :blink:

In my view your average joe doing kits beer with basic equipment should focus on ales, there are some great examples out there. I bashed away for too long with frozen milk bottles in the laundry sink. most turned out ok....nothing sensaysh but.

Welcome Spencer. with twins!!??

not twins matti. spencer jnr, on my left is 4 and spencer jnr jnr (the other one) is 2.
