Dunno.. what are they worth? Ie: What do you want to offer?

I dont really have much time for Home brewing anymore.. So Im looking to sell what I have..

I have two of the Coopers Micro brewing kits and about 80 Grolsch swing top green bottles for sale..

Let me know if anyone is interested - pick up from Stanmore in Sydney..

How long is beer good for in the bottle then? Like I said.. I have some thats 3 years old and it tastes ok.. how much longer will it be good for?

So who has the oldest brew at the moment? Ive got one which I put down in December 2005, so it would have been 'ready' in January 2006. Ive only started drinking it now - which is what 3 years later!

Bloody hell fancy that!! I have a mix of Beer and Ginger Beer in these bottles, to be honest the _only_ ones that I tested which had lost gas were the Ginger Beer ones.. I havent tried any of the Beers yet.

Actually, half of my brew has been sitting in the fridge.. so I will give it a go.

As always, thanks for the quick responses guys.. I will let you know how I get on..

Hey guys..

I have some brew that has been sitting in those Coopers PET Bottles for over 12 months, I finally opened a few the other day to find that they were flat.. I recall hearing somewhere (probably on these forums) that the gas can slowly leak from the PET bottles. Is that right?

My question ...

Oh great! Thanks guys.. they have been in the bottle at normal room temp for about 3 or 4 months.. I have only just put them in the fridge.. thanks for the responses..

Right so the answer to the question is.. when you fridge them it kills the yeast and it stops performing?

Quick question guys..

I put down a brew in Decemberish.. it has been bottled and has been sitting in the bottles in the garage getting older (and better with a bit of luck!).

The question is this.. will I stop the aging process if I now put them in the fridge and leave them there until I am ready ...

Can anyone recommend some software to help me keep track of my brews??

What do other people use - note book? excel? Memory?

There is a store in Kogarah I think called "Whats Brewing" and then another in Penshurst - cant remember what its called..

Eitherway, go to the yellow pages for Australia .. arhh heck here I did it for you:

That makes you flipping burgers then doesnt it? - if you work across the road from the Annandale - or you may sell furniture..

I live just around the corner..

Sago - what band were you in mate?

A mate and myself threw down a Yorkshire Bitter using Malt. It has been in the fermenter for a week - thinking that would be long enough we went to bottle it today. The little instructions with the brew kit said it would take between 4 and 6 days to ferment. And that it should have a hydrometre ...

A mate of mine advised me of this method of priming.. does this work?

"Actually you just draw off two bottles of the brew (wurt) just before you add the yeast and store them in a fridge until your ready to bottle the beer.

You then tip the bottles back into the brew, stir it through then bottle ...

Yeah I thought I had seen them at old Murphys also.. but when I looked the other day they didnt have any. I will have to keep checking - as the one 1.5 ltr bottle that I was given has now been stolen by my wife to use as a water bottle in the fridge.

I dont think she truely understands.

Where did you pick them up at? Im in the market for some more also..

On a seperate topic, I just bottled my first Ginger beer, I think it was a morgans.. anyway it was just bubbly as a bottled it.. is that normal for ginger beer?

Thanks Rob (and everyone else).

A mate at work gave me a 1.5 ltr Grolsh bottle today - what a beastie that is!

Thanks guys
