Oh right - so I can test my scripts without having to upload through FileZilla, chmod, execute, do it all again when I need to fix my cruddy code. Yeah, should have been obvious, I guess. Probably got caught in the trap of being told to log in remotely and work from there - didn't think about being able to do it from here.

Yeah, at a minimum I'll be running a desktop version of Ubuntu and make a commitment later when I have a clue what I want/need. Cheers.

You have taken your first step into a larger world Luke...

Well I'm in Sydney for work. Went to the local pub which was a brew pub (I'm staying at Marriott across from Hyde park). Tried their beers. Schwartz was too roasty and not as clean as it should be for style. Also not enough hop aroma ( it was non existent).

Tried the red ale. diacetyl city. Also far too light in colour. Not carbed enough. Ashame.

Not a promising start to sydney's beers.

A mate left 5 stubbies of New in my fridge the other week.
Thanks to a hot summer, and the fact I'm getting really low on supplies, they've all gone down smoothly.

I got given a 6 pack of Crown lager from work for Chrissie. As tempting as it was to drink them, I wound up "regifting" them to a mate for his birthday recently.
...I did the right thing right?

Staying in the wrong part of town, CM2... hop a bus or a taxi over to The Rocks and give Harts or The Lord Nelson a run... worth the trip.

I don't really have any spare time so wherever I go it has to be uber close to where I'm staying. It sucks cause I could go to the taphouse if I was closer to it. Although I might get one night off donut could be a trip out to lord Nelson or harts. Thx for the tip.

 

[petesbrew]

I assume you're referring to the only brewpub in town that serves craft beer at draught prices?

Say g'day to Arie while you're there

Probably. I don't remember what is was called. It's 5min down the road (I don't know Sydney that well).

I'm thinking I'll go to lord Nelson. I like the sound of their beers but I like the sound of harts food menu more. Damn

I like arie. He's funny. Pfeffer is coming down for the last day also

Sounds like the Macquarie Hotel. An ex-workmate lives across the road, we used to go there for after work drinks all the time.

Have Coopers changed their recipe?
The brother in law brought me a six pack (Pale ale) round the other night announcing 'I've kind of gone off Coopers lately'
I had to agree.
Kind of sour and yeasty tasting.
So I bought some myself, from a different bottle-o, just to be sure - same thing - orrible..
Is it them or is it me?

..I still like the stout however, even though it kicks my head in..

Big fan of the stout. The Pale... I keep trying it every now and again, but I can't get into it.

I have found Coopers to have consistency issues. Sometimes it's soft, sometimes it's yeasty, sometimes it's got a hard edge... luck of the draw, it seems.

 

[.DJ.]

I was thinking the same thing this morning actually...

Have never noted the consistency issues but have lately stuggles to enjoy a Pale which is my "stock" bottled beer...

 

[Pennywise]

I don't drink enough of it to notice any inconsistencies, but IMO it's a well over rated beer, and when they roll the bottle, :icon_vomit: . The Sparkling however :icon_drool2:

If you're after a Coopers style beer... you must try this. Definitely the best Aussie style beer i've ever had by a long way.

Looks like something I might have to make then, never liked POR but everyone keeps saying how good it is fresh (& flowers) & I've been putting off using it again for too long, I think it's been 5 years

Pretty low mash temp @ 63
