Does anyone know where I can get headmaster glasses in Perth (preferably South of the river)? I have had a bit of a look around but no luck as yet.
Cheers,
Brad.

Thank you gentlemen.. I have been able to score a beer fridge and the rest are in the laundry and bathroom cupboards and thanks to the mild start to our summer the urgency isn’t there. As for the “mates” brew, I’m trying a Canadian blonde with BE1 and 500g LDM (its all I had in the brew ...

Thanks gents... The easiest probably would be to move the wife into the shed :lol: . I have thought about the fridge option but I currently have well over 200 Stubbies and king browns to store. Losing some is better than losing them all I guess.... At present all stored in milk create, if I was to ...

My bulk storage of bottled brews have been forcefully moved in to the garage. :x Therefore not the best temp for storage in the summer months I wouldn't believe.
Are they going to be ruined by high temps.. And what constitutes "high" temps? If anyone has been in this situation what have you done to ...

Yes another racking question…..
As this is my first attempt I’ll run though my plan and limitations for some expert advise..
I have one 60lt fermenter that has never sealed properly (no bubbles though air lock) yet I have never lost a brew in it.
My intention is to use this as my primary then ...

I would like to share with you my time saving devise I “engineered” last night after taking delivery of 120 very dirty stubbies for use tonight….
All you need is:
The standard bottle brush
An electric (or battery) drill
One pair of pliers
One Stanley knife
One bandaid.
Using the pliers cut off ...

those posts came too late but I will give it a go next time...

Cheers,
Brad.

Silk,
Very basic.. Couldn't find any Strawberry clover honey so I just used a light honey ( 300ml), Coopers Blonde, SAFALE, brew booster....
result... Yumo! The most refreshing Summer Beer I have ever had...
Cheers & Beers,
Brad.

I have been lucky enough to come into the possession of a 60 ltr fermenter. My question is, by simply doubling the quantities should I get the same results?? Being a cook I know that not all recipes can be successfully doubled. My plan is to do the beer makers version of crown (Beer makers Munich ...

I am currently drinking a very young Canadian Blond with 300ml honey which is the ducks nuts. I have just put down a Coopers Pail Ale ( Brew booster#2 SAFALE yeast) two days ago, starting SG of 1040 Currently 1020 what would be the effect of adding honey now to this brew or is it a no no.... Due to ...

Thanks for the feedback... I was referring to the clean up after a late night around the BBQ..and got some great pointers. :D Presently I do keep all beer glasses, jugs and stubby coolers in the freezer. I will be trying the scored glass bottom thing, looks like some interesting experiments around ...

If I could ask, what does every one wash their Jugs & glasses in to maintain cleanliness and no residue?? I have heard vinegar & hot water is the go??
Cheers & Beers

No never heard of it, sorry. At my age time goes too quick as it is...

Firstly, thank you all for all the great info I have got from such a great site!
Inspired by this info I have put down a Coopers Canadian Blond, Brew Enhancer #1 300g light honey (couldn't find any strawberry blossom) held at 24-28 deg, starting S-G 1040 after only 3 days its at 1009 and still going ...

Thanks for the quick replies.
I have purchased a 80lt WAECO to keep them cool, I'm manly concerned about being shaken on corrugated roads..
Cheers & Beers
Brad..

I am currently bottling in both Coopers PET & glass and have been told that I will loose carbonation from the PET if agitated. I am planing a camping trip to Shark bay WA and would like to take the PET for safety's sake but don't want to drink flat beer.. Any words of wisdom please.
Cheers & Beers ...

Thanks all great info... So how long should I boil for? I have read on this forum some people boiling for 30mins or so..

Being new to this I will firstly apologise for my ignorance. I have brewed a couple of Coopers and Westbrew cans and followed the directions and am very happy with the results so far. My question is; according to the instructions you add boiling water to dissolve the ingredients yet in this forum ...
