I do the Grumpy's brews often and I boil the bag for 10 minutes, let sit for about 30 to cool down slightly then strain into the fermenter with a tin
and they always come out nice

Been to a Stammtisch yet?

Im intrigued where is this??

Dags - do you stop in for beers very regularly at Grumpys? I drive past every day to and from work and find it very hard not to stop in and have a pint. Or talk to Brad or Voosher about beer. Or both. Been to a Stammtisch yet?

I am only a couple of minutes away but I dont get in there very often ...

I am the same, I dont go to the brewcrafts much at all
stop in at Brewmaker when I get the chance and Jovial Monk as they both stock Morgans and Coopers (unlike brewcraft )
other shop of choice is grumpys as I am only a couple of minutes away

OK now am I an alcoholic, it's OK I can take it

I do have three fermenters though

I am still using a Brigalow plastic fermenter that I bought in 1993, had about a 5 year break but it is still going strong
is clean, no scratches and every beer that has come out of it has been good, probably do a dozen beers a year in that particular fermenter

I'm so glad I'm an idiot for thinking the scum would win :D :D :D :D

Oh, how I laughed at the "Power's" despair :D :D :D :D

What a magic day it was.

nice sideline website, I had seen ...

I brewed the Spicy Ghost nearly 2 years ago and it was easily the worst brew I have done, initially
so I kept them and I am drinking them now and they are very drinkable, nice and smooth, with a great creamy head
the one thing that did happen when it was fermenting was that it got very got, it ...

even better on tap at your favourite pub

defence civvy now

I hope so, I live in Adelaide and I cant stand port adelaide

there is a reason that the brewcraft stores dont sell Coopers stuff, I was told that the brewcraft chain is partly owned by Hahn :roll:
the Holden Hill store sells the Thomas Coopers stuff

for me, Grumpys is the closest and most convenient, so I generally do a few masterbrews
dont go to brewcraft ...

Driven past that a few times - was wondering when it would open. Will have to drop in on the way home one night and see if the porter gets close to Grumpys Black Betty. They've set the bar pretty damn high.....

dags64 - Friday night Stammtisch at Grumpys. Check out here for more info.

Basically ...

a new microbrewery has just opened up in the Adelaide Hills at Lobethal
I was driving past this arvo and I dropped in for a look
a very nice set up, you can see all the equipment behind glass
I had a Pale Ale and the missus had a Porter but they were both very tasty
it is called the Lobethal ...

I just don't like green glass. I feel better with brown, even if my beer isn't going to be exposed to UV. Go figure. :oops:

I got given about a dozen Grolsch bottles from an elderly mate of mine and he must have had them for a while as they are brown glass
I cant recall when Grolsch came in brown ...

so many good brews, probably my favourite is the Boston Cream which was the first one I did
and go the carnivore pizza, feed the man meat

it will be well worth the visit for you

I have a buddy who drinks these and then hands the empties over to me
I have about 110 at the moment with the promise of more to come

I actually gave 20 away to my neighbour for his home brews

had holidays in Vanuatu a couple of years ago and I didnt mind this drop
I still have a full stubby sitting on the wall unit, probably wont crack it now though

I just got given 40 grolsch swingtops by a mate and the same mate also gave me another 40 about 3 months ago
too many for me so I am offloading 20 of them to my neighbour
