Hi All, moved up to the Sunshine State from freezing Tassie last year and still adjusting my home brews accordingly. Mostly far less time in the primary, and no heat pad - all Brissie winter yeah! Also for some reason I need far less sugar/bottle for secondary and Morgan's carbonation drops are working well at one per 750 Mangrove Jack Grosch style flip-seal bottles.

FYI for anyone interested I'm a long-time partial kit/+ extract brewer. Usually made good Stouts and Porters in Tassie , but now looking for lighter style Ales and Lagers for Queensland. Also, hoping to put a Dubbel style down soon and ready for Christmas with a target ABV around 9% - anyone on here tried? I'm planning to base mine on the Morgan's Belgian Ale kit + malt extract + corn-syrup with a Belgian Ale yeast of high tolerance ABV, then dry hop 50 gm Tetnanger after primary bubbling. I'll likely add the extra malt after the yeast active around 5 days. All comments and/or advice welcome.

Very interested in mini kegging, but not finding a local supplier - Again any advice or recommended source welcome.
 
If brewing lagers in Qld suggest using a fridge with a temperature controller to keep temperatures even, can use better yeasts as well for a much better tasting brew.
