Thanks for all the feedback. I've now cracked a few of the quick brewed fat yak clone and in my humble opinion it's orright. One of my mates put the same brew down six months previously with a much longer fermenting time and they were almost identical. Strangely the most noticable difference was the ...

No worries Oliver. Just for my information though can you or anyone define what a pickaxe bottle is? I've heard the term knocked about a lot and if I search the net I get a lot of hits for people asking what pickaxe bottles are.

What size are your bottles? I like the idea of bottling at 640ml ...

Hi,

I'm looking at buying some 640 ml crown top beer bottles from a packaging supplier but I can only buy 8 dozen at a time. I probably only need half that. Anybody want to buy some off me for cost price? About $1.10 a bottle new.

I'll do the hydro tests but can anyone tell me if it's possible that the beer is ...

I still like the idea of 500ml bottles. Coupla sociable glasses of beer and still not too big to drink as a stubbie. I'm looking into buying some ...

Hi, I'm in the process of getting myself set up to make my first brew and have accumulated pretty much everything I need except bottles. I've been offered an endless supply of 500ml mineral water bottles with crown seal tops (Santa Vittoria mineral water). Nice enough bottles but I don't know if ...
