Ahhh... I say hats off to the Poms. It's about time cricket became a sport and not an exhibition. I think it's great for the sport that someone else wins every now and then. That's not to say I don't wanna see the boys absolutely smash Freddie all over the shop next test.

...and is "Freddy" the new ...

No, I think you are right Dogger. It is the ability of the yeast to drop out of suspension (be it lager or ale) thus making a clearer beer.

Rock on Dogger. Have a ball.

Yeah, just to clear it up, a SOCKS proxy, as relating to homebrewing, is having permission to borrow someone else's socks to use as a grain or hop bag. Unlike Oliver when he borrows his wife's stockings as he DOESN'T have permission from her nor does he really use them to steep grain or hops in ...

Ah yes. Breasts and beer. If only there was a way of combining the two.

Ha ! Nice work Dogger. I feel much better now knowing that my pony is happy living life on an island. Not the island is was originally meant to be living on, but anyways...

Yeah, your sled is still on the scene. It now has truck bearings welded to the four corners and is a great way to get home ...

Well Triumph. While we seem to speak the same language, something appears to be lost in the translation. Like, why would a man name himself after a bra. Oh the things I ponder...

So is she saying that you are dead ? That's horrible Grab. A horrible thing to say. Remember, he who dies with the most toys wins. Perhaps you need to remind the missus of that FACT.

I don't doubt it for a minute, Dogger. You are a man of many toys. For that reason alone - RESPECT.

MY Godfather of Homebrewing, Rooty Hill Ray, had a big reclaim tank in his brew shed that he would use to "reclaim" the CO2 emitted from his brews. He would then use it to gas his beers. Perhaps he ...

Yeah, good work guys. When the day comes that you get to the pearly gates at least you can say you have done a good thing by bringing some joy into peoples' lives via this site. Albeit that joy being about the evil demon that is alcohol. Maybe it will balance out and they will still let you in.

(It ...

Yeah, and us Sydney-siders would feel ripped off if you didn't come here too. We could have a few quieties and talk about my pony and how he's all grown up now.

I used to be a "brew a stout, then brew a wheat beer, then a lager" kinda guy. I then realised that only one of the four of my kegs was being emptied on a regular basis. Sure, a stout you gotta chew through may be cool once in a while but you couldn't have a night on it. Same goes for the porter I ...

Hmmm... seems that you are a big advocate of stockings Oliver. That's fine. Just wondering about your preference - knee high, stay-ups, the kind that need sussies, or the bane of male existence - pantyhose ?

I've also found that wheat beer is best fresh (ish) so I wouldn't be making it too much before summer. I could be on my own with that one though.

Bloody hell. Just bottling myself for the first time since the mid 80's. When I say "bottling myself"...

Let's just say I now know why I keg

What I'd give for a milk crate (legit or not) and a Super Automatica.

Fairly simple idea but I just stack as many bottles as possible upside down in a device which looks remarkably like a milk crate, but for legal reasons isn't actually a milk crate

Bit of a delayed reaction, but nice answer Flosso. :)

I'm still giggling like a girl. Not that I think stealing is ...

Ah nice.

Yeah, Evo, Sydney, Australia. And no, there's no point putting NSW on the cap. Normally when Australia Post deliver (oxymoron) Dogger's bottles the cap is missing as is the contents. Postman Pat DOES have a healthy glow in his cheeks though.

Don't forget to post your tasting notes Tommo ...

Just another suggestion Tommo, but I reckon your mangoes would go well with a wheat beer. Something like -

1.7kg kit (I've found Morgan's Wheat goes good)
1kg wheat malt (dry)
1kg of your mango pulp
10g hallertau (10min to go)
10g hallertau (end of boil)
Safwheat yeast (or any other liquid wheat ...

Ha ! Nice Dogger. But you neglect to mention the fact that alot of Canadia can get up to the 30+ degree C mark as well. A fact that I didn't know until I was there and we picked up a Saskatchewan snowboarder hitchiking whilst driving our RV around your snowfields. And he explained it all with the ...

Hell yeah. I've always said that Cannucks are just Aussie's on the other side of the world. Get busy Dogger !
