Not likely but thanks for the suggestion, i have a yukon thats been in the bottle for 3-4 months, recently i tried 1 and then put the boxes in the most far away location in the shed i can find, i doubt if they will ever get drunk but maybe ill pull another 1 out in 6 months just to remind me why i should never brew this again :lol: :lol: :wink:


I got rid of mine by making guest drink one before they got anything better.

have any of you ever had a "BYO home brew and compare notes" sort of day? i reckon that'd be great fun..


That's what I was thinking previously, but haven't got around to doing anything more about it than just that.

I reckon getting together when the temperature is more civilised and drinking - er, sampling - beer would be a good thing.
yeah, let's definitely keep it in mind for when the weather's a bit better than this. i'd be up for it for sure :)

Ummm... I'm in ... ummm... Collingwood... :D - Right opposite the freeway entrance!!

Some of the local pubs are open to suggestion (as Bells Tavern in South Melbourne obviously is) when it comes to finding a room for gathering. I'm kinda fond of the idea of finding the Right Park - small, endearing, near public transport, central-ish, clean toilets...

I'm in Ringwood and you're welcome to come around for a beer.
I can hook up any kegs u want to bring.
It would be great to talk about brewing instead of typing it. :?

I have my new keg fridge with two kegs and several longnecks in it. Currently I have some really nice brews in bottles, along with some fairly ordinary ones in the kegs (affected by the hot weather we're having down here in Melb). So I tend to crack the odd bottle. Also I haven't drilled any holes in my fridge for the gas line and I have a pluto gun, so that involves opening the fridge, connecting the CO2 line, and then pouring, vs getting out a bottle.

So I still drink a fair few beers out of bottles. I think I'll always do a mix of bottles and kegs for portability, variety and just being able to age them for longer.

I have very little patience for stubbies though! :lol:
