Got an order from Ross in December. All I can say was the whole transaction was handled in a professional and timely manner and everything arrived in pristine condition and exactly as described on his website.

He'll definately be getting most of my orders in future.

I have flown from Perth to Sydney with an esky as my carry-on luggage, full of wine bottles. Wine bought at the wineries around Margaret River. That was with Qantas.

I see no reason why you could not fill an esky with beer and do the same. As long as it is a size to fit in the overhead section.

Sold!

Superautomatica Capper for sale.

As new.

$40.00

I am in Baulkham Hills Sydney, or work in Circular Quay.

G'day,

I have just started kegging, and thus have little need for bottles clogging up the garage.

Hey guys new to brewing, just wondering if anyone has tried the super market brand home brews. They always seem to be on special and people seem to be buying them too. Maybe with some hops added and some decent sugar and malt one could make a decent brew.

Who wants to take one for the team? :D ...

As long we get him pissed first, he will answer EVERY bloody question! he can be on my team.

As Timmy says your beers should be fine.

For the carbonation, try to give them a week or two at room temperatures for the yeasties to do their work on the priming sugars.

But after that time, any temp will be OK.

I only ever prime with Dextrose as I feel that white sugar does affect the flavour.

Thats just personal preference though.

Same as me.

Monday, Tuesday AFD's.

Wednesday, Thursday one or two longnecks.

Weekends I have more.

While we're on the subject of sanitisers...

What is everyone's thought's on "Pink Neo"(Chlorinated Trisodium Phosphate)??? This is what I use.

Seems to do a good job??? No problems so far.
I alternate between Iodophor and Neo Pink and am very happy with results.

The reason I alternate is so ...

Hi scblack,

thanks for the recipe - looks better than the one I dug up!

Just a few questions for you all:-
1/ is there better quality ingredients that could be used for this recipe? (given the sticky 'simple things that make your home brew better' suggests not using brew enhancers and dextrose ...

I have done the following a couple of times and seems pretty close to Redback, cheers to Aussie Claret for this recipe.

Morgans Golden Sheaf Wheat kit
Morgans Master Blend Beer Enhancer 1kg
Dextrose 500gm
Hallertau hops (12gm teabag style)

Very nice.

Thanks Pixelboy, on another note does anyone know if maltodextrin is at all fermentable, I've been led to believe it is not but wanted to check with you pro's, I don't really want to put in 400g if it's going to make it too strong, but I do want to get a good head (who doesn't :wink: ). Also is it ...

so all i know is that it would be sweet, with some roasted notes and only mildly hoppy, and thats just a guess.
any thoughts? I don't reckon it will be sweet at all!

I have done a two-can stout, with Coopers Stout kit and Tooheys Dark Ale kit. The extra hops from the second kit, rather than just ...
