Re: Wassa's Honey Porter

Very Nice drop :D.Have it in the keg at the moment, I didn't let it age V. much but that didn't matter, though I must admit it's getting better by the day. Well done Wassa on coming up with this one.
Has anyone tried making it with some chocolate malt grain or should it just be left as is?

Re: Gas bottle pressure question

Dont Use Thread tape. If you have a gasket between the 2 flat surfaces and tighten the nut correctly(not cross threaded) it will seal.Thread tape on the threads is useless, not to mention very dodgy, on a loose nut fitting. If gas can escape from between the two flat surfaces the connection is has ...

Grand Ridge Brewery Moonlight nut brown ale

Bought this at first choice the other day $19 or so a six pack 330 ml, overpriced I thought after I looked at the label and found out it was a light beer 3.3%. Any way after opening I found it was very much over priced after it overflowed and left me with half a beer, drank what was left and burped ...

Re: Bright Brewery

Yep, agree totally Oliver, Beechworth shits on Bright as far as customer service goes, I think thats because the brewers hardly ever work there and they only have employees that maybe aren't as passionate about beer as us.

Re: Bright Brewery

Have to say Beechworth Brewery has it all over Bright brewery for quality of beer. I was not impressed with the beers at Bright after trying Beechworths. Bright did have a better view overlooking the pool on a hot summer’s day though.
Yeah,they do make a nice drop,am lucky enough to be under an ...
