I was just downtown Auckland for a bit of a walk about and stopped in a pub and tried a "Mikes" milk chocolate stout. Not bad...but the price!!! 12.00 nz dollars. Sheesh! I know I was right downtown near the waterfront but really.......

So Im in NZ for a bit of an extended holiday, and now have a chance to try some beers I otherwise would never get to try. Last night I tried a Coopers extra stout...( I brew their products at home ) and that was really nice. Anyone been here before and tried anything I should keep an eye out...

...when I read the title to this thread......I assumed the OP met my ex......:)

What I find so interesting is that not one media outlet has pointed out that Israel "interferes" in every single US election by doing exactly the same things the Russians are accused of doing. Moreover, the US has had a long history of meddling in other countries "democratic" process and feels...

As I sit and wait for some cornies to come available in my neck of the woods I have read that Italian Cornies are more sought after. Why is that? (if true) To me a metal container is a metal container, but I would rather ask questions than to remain stupid.....

nah...I never liked the band, but all my mates at school did. Probably why I was on the outside most of the time....

I just came back from my local and they have these tap brush/plugs that they put in every night. Its a neat little unit that they dip in sanitizer and the brush goes up into the the end of the faucet, and then the cap seals the unit nicely. I think I will look into those for sure. I got the...

Thanks so much for the replies!!! :thumb: I had a chance to read up in the Intertap faucets....and found a Canadian supplier. All being well, I will have my wine barrel home today...and the taps and tower could be in the mail by weeks end. This is what I am beginning to aquire the pieces for...

Well I have decided that over the next couple months I am going to build a kegerator. While looking at the various parts needed, I am realizing that there are as many companies making parts as there are beer drinkers. The one part that has me concerned is the actual faucets as they have the...

...and then the whole..."hair of the dog..." Oh dear.....

If brewing is anything like cooking...as long as you have good ingredients.....its hard to mess up. Just some recipes are better than others.

If you dont mind me asking...why so long in the FV? Shouldnt it be in bottles at this point? ( I have a Coopers kit on right now with some coffee in it and dont want to bottle it too early, if thats what I did last time. )

Real money is gold and silver....everything else is credit. Fiat money is a promise. Fiat literally means "it is so," someone (a government) says this note is worth $10.00 so it is worth 10 dollars. Banks are allowed to loan 9 dollars out for every 10 dollars they have on deposit. By most...

I think that capitalism has "failed" as it was allowed to run amok without any real safegaurds in place (see 2008) Since then, capitalism has ceased to exist. What I mean by that is governments through their central banks are intervening in all markets thereby not allowing capitalism to exist...

Just about to put a few gallons of cider on ( from store juice ) and have seen recipes that call for champagne yeast (lalvin ec118) and other calling for ale yeast. Any thoughts on which one? Or is it down to taste? cheers

Thanks for all the thoughts on this. I am now looking into this cold steeping thing. I really like dark beers, but need to take baby steps with regards to using grains etc in my batches. Great place this!! :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Since I got back into brewing, I went with kits as that is the only history I have with brewing, and for the most part...pretty fool proof. So the kits I have access to are the Coopers kits and I have found them to be quite good (certainly drinkable) SO here is my dilemma. I recently found that...

I admit that it is a bit of a jump, but at 1000.00 my dollars for something that I will not have to replace, can brew 12-14 imperial gallons at a time, wont need the number of glass carboys I currently have ( or 3 primary fermenters for that matter ) it looks the charm to be fair, ah maybe Im...

:thumb::thumb::thumb: Nice work!
