free stuff aint bad, can it be sent to australia:confused:

thanks blokes for the advise, i'll be hitting the books this weekend. i think i should have started this one in the beginners forum:)

anyone know of any equiptment suppliers in australia for secondhand gear.

i used vinyl stickers, like what people use on the windows of cars, we have a vinyl cutting machine at work so it was free for me. i just have a duggy's brew logo on them with a blank bit on them to write the batch number or beer type with a marker. they have lasted the last 6 brews none have...

this may sound stupid but i havn't done this type of brewing before, but what do the timings mean after the ingredients and 150-154 is that degrees F or C and what is sparge????? i think i'll have to go out and buy a good brewing book. thanks:confused:

it's been below 10C for most of the winter and our heating only heats 2 rooms of the house. and my wife wouldnt let me brew in the lounge room.:(

hi all i've been out of the loop for a while, it's been a really cold winter here in toowoomba, Australia. so i haven't done any brewing for a couple of months. but it's just got back to above 30C again so it's time to brew. i have just put on an extract brew (Morgans Pilsner), but its the...

i made some at work. we have a computer that cuts vinyl stickers, like what they use for car decals. i've washed them about 6 times since i put them on and havn't had any problems. my mother used to do it the labour intensive way and lable her wine each batch with the computer printable sticker...

had a bit of a problem over the weekend with my bottles not carbonating. i bottled my morgans pilsner on the 8th may in plastic beer bottles (740ml). i used "coopers carbonation drops" (hard sugar tablet) instead of sugar for the first time . it said to put 2 in each 750ml bottle and i did, when...

i've never tried an alc version of root beer but am looking forward to making it, but it wont be for a while, i have to go away with work for a month so i'm going to have to wait till i get back:( .

would it be worth making up a rig to chill (REALLY COLD) your beer when transfering it from the primary to the secondary. so it cools really quick. please see attached pic for what i mean, im not the best at discribing stuff. thanx

thanx for that i'll have to see if i can find those ingredients out here.

i've noticed the mass majority of people here are from the USA, i just wanted to see what the %'s are for around the world

when i was a kid i lived in florida for a couple of years, and i loved root beer, but i'm from australia and they dont sell it out here, are you able to brew alcoholic root beer and if so does anyone know the recipe for it?

hi I'm still on the kit beers, they're drinkable and a cheap alternative. but i'm sure once i cross the line into proper brewing there'll be no turning back. i am looking forward to adding some hops or somthing to my next kit brew. i've spoke to my local home brew guy and he was going to get...

thanx all for the advise

thanx guys for the info. i will be getting some books in the near future. just 2 last questions on the 2nd fermenter, how long should i keep it in the 2nd fermenter and when is the best time to change it from the 1st to the 2nd fermenter? cheers

thanx for that, but with the bottling i usualy add sugar to carbonate it (which again gives it more sediment in the bottle that i didn't want) will the bottles carbonate with out putting sugar in or is that what reacts with the yeast to carbonate it. or do you use yeast to carbonate the bottles...

im still pretty new at this game, i've just been using standard brew kits in the can. but since reading alot of the theads on brewing from scratch (i still dont have all the termanology yet) i'm planning on getting into it, but i havn't seen much out here (im in australia) other than the can...
