It's finally hit my local bottle shop in St. Kilda- at only $6.99 a stubby. Bought six, all they had, have more on order.

That's it, really. If your HB pale ales don't taste like this, well, what the f--- are you playing at?

Where the f--- are you guys buying these SNPA?

I have emails from them stating they do not have, and do not intend to appoint, an Australian distributor.

My imported beer store guy in St Kilda tells me he's heard nothing.

And yet you are getting 'em in Woop Woop, sorry, TOOWOOMBA?

Do tell. At ...

Shaz, I'm not sure whether Chris. (with a full stop) is a troll or not- he has made a few other decent posts.
But I wouldn't be encouraging him.

Hey Chris. (with a full stop), if you read elsewhere you will see that today is the day for people to put up or shut up. Your call.

So- you are going to post less, or at least keep on-topic?

What about your mod status?

Frankly, I think this place needs to be shut down for a short period to clear dead wood/dead threads & archive a some of the old stuff.

The easiest way to track it is by proper hydrometer readings at the start & finish of your brew. Is there a reason you can't do it this way, wiggins?

Lalvin seems to be the standard, it's a dry yeast that brews up to around 15-16% alc. if I remember correctly- I don't have the pack in front of me.
You just have to leave the beer section of your HBS & go into the wine aisle to find it.

Agreed Grab- that's not the issue.
This, on the other hand, may be relevant:

How much experience as a home brewer should you have to mod a brewing forum? As JS himself says:
I have posted info on here not from experience (which might not be the best approach)

The problem, as I see it, is that there is one member- Jack Sparrow- who has been set up as a moderator both here and at another forum, and is posting thread hijacks, irrelevant nonsense replies, and other bullsh it in in at least four HB forums, at the rate of 50+ per day.

Oh yeah yardie, I'm drinking a long of my "40g Hallertau in Coopers Pale Ale" as we speak.
