I have brewed with this stuff - I reduce the recipe by about three litres of water
They turn out Ok (I use mine to clean the bbq though), If you are going to spend good money on Hops, Yeast and the like - use a decent concentrate.
Otherwise if you are after a cheapie - use this, reduce by 3 litres ...

Aw Dogger - I have four fermenters - so are two full or are two empty ?

Hi Crowash

A couple of ideas

the bottles released by coke for the world cup had a gold coating. I thought they looked like a good idea for brewing if you were into PET.

Also if you like ginger beer you could drink the brewers choice brand (about 79c) per 1.25 bottle - they are tinted brown ...

I'm in Ingleburn

Have a few fresh VB longnecks - rinsed and dried but not sterilised @ $12.00 per 30 (40c) or $36 per 100 (36c) - I get them from a caterer and this funds a brew for him.

also have some odd tooheys and strongbows

give me a call if you wish 0422 46 96 eight six

In a similar vein -
Can anyone tell me why I may want one of these ?

Just going on past experience even though I am from sydney, try and look for a more independant type bottle, rather than the large type. I had more success with pub bottle shops.

Cloudwine Cellars
Purvis Wine Cellars
Australian Cleanskin Group

these guys sell Redoak in Melbourne so I would assume ...

Sure its twice the work to bottle, but I'll see how it goes.

It's double the washing, bottling, sanitizing & capping - but I tell you what - get some six pack holders like heineken, crown etc & the carton to suit and they store the easiest of the lot.

BTW whats the BVBC stuff like ?

I have four fermenters - all coopers, after upgrading one older bucket & one other carboy type. Being thirty litres they are easier to clean because of their size and easier for me to carry.
I think if you don't clean them propoerly you would have problems. The pail type would be less hassle I ...

Mine's the same - they seem to be discontinuing the lines - waiting for a cheaper price though!

try talking to someone at the country brewer as well - the girraween store as they are helpful.

coopers homebrew are also extremely cheerful.

Try eBay - see if you can get a cash pick up

Thanks Jack,

Great site

I got an article about culturing yeast from bottles written by the whitelabs guy.

Now onto squires yeast

Right on Paleman - that is the only one I have found after a few months of asking different websites - its either Grumpys, a family recipe or the old exploding bottle/ginger beer plant way.

They're Back

but this looks pretty good 127 - 473ml + 2 X 1.5l Grolsch - still no mention of home brew in the heading !

WOOLWORTHS 17/4/6 - 23/4/6 - $8.98 Coopers Standard Kit Cans

Coopers are in line with the returnables in my mind because the returnables are getting on in years. The coopers are thicker than most new & commercial bottles available on the market, and they look good too. The Hahn longies are thick too, but are annoying to clean and store.

That's why I put them ...

The Glass definately

In Order

1 - Brown 750ml Crown Seals (esp Pixaxes & Coopers)
2 - 800ml Brown Twist tops
3 - Any other twist tops
4 - Italian green crown seal mineral water bottles - 1 litre or 500ml
5 - Coopers bottles 740ml OR the dodgy brand of ginger beer at the supermarket for 76-99 cents ...

When you consider this one - who hasn't capitilised at all on the key words Home Brew

Wish I was in Melbourne - damn
