I hope everyone's enjoying the new forum setup.

I've rearranged a whole lot of posts, sorting them into their appropriate new categories.

If you've got any comments or suggestions for further changes, please let me know.

Cheers,

Comment: Great work :wink:

Hi all,

I've finally logged on again after a four-month ( :shock: ) hiatus.

I hope everyone's enjoying the new forum setup.

I've rearranged a whole lot of posts, sorting them into their appropriate new categories.

If you've got any comments or suggestions for further changes, please let me know.

Cheers,

Oliver

Do it whild the mash mashes and then while the boil boils. There is actually a lot of 'hold' time in a brew day.

Cheers,
Greg

Surely if you're going to set aside a full-day for something, it might as well we brewing. :wink:

I've got two logins. I generally use the Oliver2 for admin stuff, when I need to log in quickly and moderate posts, backup the database, make changes, etc.

This way I don't lose track of unread posts on my Oliver account. I haven't logged in as Oliver for a really, really long time, so I need to set a full day aside to read all the unread posts.

Cheers,

Oliver/Oliver2

yep, looks good and is easier to navigate this way.

Just wondering...whats with the 2?

by Oliver2 » Wednesday Oct 25, 2006 9:43 pm

Thanks, guys.

It's going to take me a while to sort the current posts into the new categories though :shock: so bear with me!

Also, I've decided against splitting all-grain and other recipes.

If there's demand for it, it should be easy enough to do down the track.

Cheers,

Oliver(2)!

First impression:

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: The site has changed!

:D :D :D :D :D :D

thanks Oliver, the forum was really easy to navigate before, but now you've made it even better!

A last proposition ...

How about if I add:

* A Kegging section
* Create a separate section for all-grain recipes, as many of you have suggested (if it dies in the a--- I can always recombine it with the general recipes section).

That should cover all bases.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Oliver
Hey oliver, personally i think that these sections would be great, as you said you can always change it back :lol:
Once again just my opinion :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Oliver - The site is looking good

Keep up the good work

Cheers

by Oliver2 » Wednesday Oct 25, 2006 11:07 am

Thanks, rwh

Also, I was just thinking that partial mash/mini mash brewing should be under all-grain section, too, as it requires similar methods, ingredients and equipment ...

Thoughts anyone?

Oliver

Yep, a kegging section sounds really good. I think the recipes should stay together as I normally work out recipes with an all-grain or all-extract option, but whatever you reckon.

Looks the goods... I take a day of for been sick and you guys have been going crazy on the site. Well done

by ACTbrewer » Wednesday Oct 25, 2006 7:16 am

Sounds good to me.

by Oliver2 » Wednesday Oct 25, 2006 1:04 am

OK then, what do you all think about the changes so far?

I've:
* Added a wine, mead, cider, etc, section.
* Added an all-grain section.
* Added a spirits section.
* Added a pubs and bars section.
* Added a section to discuss cooking with beer, and food/beer pairings.
* Moved "The Battle for Cooper's" section to a new area called Archive.
* Moved "The Store" to Miscellaneous from Homebrew.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Have I overlooked anything? Should there be more sections? Have I gone overboard?

I was thinking perhaps a section to discuss kegging, and all bases would be covered.

I want this to be the last time I add sections :wink: :o

Over the next few days I'll sort out existing posts into the new areas if everyone's happy with the new structure.

PLEASE let me know.

They don't appear to get enough traffic to support thier own sections but an 'Other fermented beverages (Cider, Mead and Wine)' could be a goer.

Good idea i reckon, oh and oliver said in a different post that the recipes will all stay in the same section but im inclined to think that a recipe section for just all grain alone would be a good idea, Just my opinion. :lol: :lol:

Cheers
Leigh

Second or third the idea.
