Hey Dog, could you let me know how you did your Carlton draft, i have an AFL Grand Final Party at my joint and i would love to serve Carlton out of my Kegerator, cos 99% of my mates dont like anything but Carlton Products

Beermakers draught
Brewcraft #20 brew booster
Saflager yeast

I cant refridge my fermies, can i use another yeast?

[lethaldog]

Yeah you could use a safale ive done this before in summer with no real noticable difference so if you cant keep it cool then go with that

[AlcoMoo]

Whoa! You guys and girls are impressive!!! If I didn't realise it before, I know now that I am in good company insofar of gleaning info and knowledge from you.

i just hope I can one day post as many brews as you do in such little time.

[rwh]

I've brewed 900 litres of homebrew this year to date from 3 fermenters.

Hey, isn't there a legal limit of like 300 litres of beer a year? Or is that NZ? Thought I read it somewhere anyway.

I have had a supply and demand problem this year. Not enough supply and to much of a demand on my time to brew. 5 Kegs and I am yet to have more than 2 1/2 full at once yet this year.

[Boonie]

Maybe this explains the beer gut.

Coopers
Pale ale x 10
Sparkling Ale x 2
Lager x 4
Real Ale x 1
Bavarian x 2
Ginger Beer x 3
Draught x 3

Homebrand Draught x 2

Morgans Draught x 3
Morgans Blue Mountain Lager x 1
Morgans Canadian Light x 1

Brewcraft Munich x 1

Some of these have been split as me and my mate did them together.

I could go into hops, sugars, temp etc.....but I have had too many beers to attempt.

I obviouslt rate the Pale Ale + I would recommend the ginger on a hot day and the Morgan Blue Mountain with Hallertau at Brew and Perle at rack for a magnificent taste.

Whoa mumma. Where'd you get them all from?

Lets just say I have some borderline alcoholic friends that are only too happy to donate their empties in return for some home brew samples. Here is my collection:
