SOS to ozzy brewers

[RoomWithABrew]

I agree they shouldn't end up in landfill. I've been removing the bag and they work great as fermenters, also as kegs either with a commercial keg adapter on them ( with a bit of dremelling of the top if a key keg ) or use the key keg connector. Other plastic kegs tend to play easier and you just use the adapter without modification or use the specific S type or other connector as required.
Particularly nice to have a dedicated no cost fermenter and keg for Bretts and other wild yeasts and it can still be recycled afterwards as well.

Hello @Buffers brewery. Even more recommendations coming in so I've attached a link to the thread on the AU NZ site. Here it is.

Thanks @An Ankoù . Spending the majority of my time this week getting over jet lag (almost done) and playing with the grandkids. Hope to do a bit of exploring later this week/next week. Still working through my "stock" .
Thanks to the Ozzy contributors. Much appreciated

Started with a Newcomer tonight followed by a Bandwagon, citra and mosaic pale ale.

OK. A little bit too bitter for me...but still drinkable.

Spent a nice afternoon at Pittwater with my daughter and grandkids...

..and enjoyed a Phoenix Aussie IPA when we got home.

Nice hop aroma and bitterness on the palate.

Went to Bucketteys in Brookvale tonight and tried out their IPA

and their West Coast IPA.
Both were pretty solid brews. The West Coast at 6% was a bit disappointing but the IPA was exactly what it says on the tin

Went up to Palm Beach today for a spot of lunch at Barrenjoey House.

Nice meal accompanied by a nice beer..

Balter XPA

 

[Buffers brewery]

On the way back from Palm Beach, made a detour to Modus brewery.

Had a platter of 6 beers....

Cervesa, XPA, Sonic Prayer, Former Tenant, White Space and Hyperdrive.
Cervesa was a bit thin for my taste, as was Sonic Prayer. XPA, Hyperdrive and White Space were fuller flavour. Former tenant was not to my taste. Described as a red IPA but tasted like a stout to me.

You will have to try the Stomping Ground Gipp street Pale Ale, should be able to get it in Sydney.

I'll keep an eye out, see if it's in my local bottle-o.

A nice drop, I got some in Hobart so it is Australia wide I would imagine.

 

[Buffers brewery]

Couldn't find any Stomping Ground beers in my local bottle-o so came home with a couple of local brewery beers (yet to get to the breweries)

 

[Buffers brewery]

Tried a Dad & Dave's pale tonight .

Bright clear beer. Bit much of a head. Pale ale it was. Different or unusual it wasn't. Had two.

7th Day brewery in Brookvale NSW tonight.

Hazy IPA. Very nice. Mango plus mango.

 

[Buffers brewery]

Went to the Four Pines pub/brewery in Manly. They had a "Specials" board..

..I went for a couple of pints of Cold IPA...

..very nice pint...or couple of pints (hic)

 

[Buffers brewery]

Last brew of my visit. A can of 7th Day brewery (American) pale ale...

...very nice ale. A good beer to finish on

Wow, just catching up, this is so fun to read through and enjoying the Ozzy brewery tour vicariously . It looks wonderfully out there with the sun and so green too! It's also rather fun to see all the names and designs of the breweries, I thought Bracket brewing's design particularly clever.

Downside to reading this thread is that it's not even midday and you are making me thirsty .

ANZAC Day morning at South Curl Curl beach. F35 fly past (that's the black dot you might be able to see )

Curl Curl beach, 10 minute walk from my daughter's place

Bring this post to a close. At Sydney airport, preparing to fly home. Had a couple of these..

...to numb the senses. Looking forward to a couple more on board.
Cheers

Hi @Buffers brewery
I guess you're safely home now. Just a reminder that the lads down under were hoping for a full report on what you thought of their beer.
Glad you had a great time.
