Re: Even Idiots Can Do It

Making beer can be likened to driving a manual car
You don’t have to look to see what gear you’re in
You know where the cluch is and the other 2 pedals without looking
You don’t have to look at the speedo/revcounter to see how fast you are going
It’s called seat of pants brewing

Re: R twist tops ok????

I agree - beer in plastic just doesn't seem right but PET bottles do work.

Anyhow.

My primary, secondary and bulk primer are plastic.
My racking hose, bottler, airlock & blow off tube (careful with that) are plastic.
My scales, measuring bowls & jugs and stirring spoon are plastic.

Standard

Two lollies per 750
One lolly per 375

Suck lollies before putting in funny size bottles.

Re: NEW TO BREWING - UNIMPRESSED WITH LOCAL HBS

earles HBS stated the advantage of being able to force carbonate so that you can be drinking three days after fermentation is complete, however doesn't this contradict the idea that if you can mature your brews for a few months they will improve?


This has bugged me for awhile.

Like where they are, where do they shop and other crap.
Any clubs.
I'm not after anything personal, just who, what & where.

So please email me; I ...

Yuppies drink Crown lager because they don't know any better.

Bogan's drink VB because they don't know any better.

The rest of us brew our own and make what we want, including Crown lager and VB.
