    Brewers ?

    I just bought one of those $85 Coopers start up home brew kits. Intend to do something a bit more involved in the future, but trying to focus on uni and not fridge temperatures and gas levels.

    Thought it would be a good starting point though.

    Since talking to mates it seems there are a lot of brewers out there. There's been a thread on it in the past but it wasn't reviveworthy.

    So...who are the brewers, and what advice/experience are you willing to share?

    Im very keen to start brewing my own beer! Has anyone got any links they've used when going through the process? Any decent/cost effective places (online) you've dealt with?

    My gf had a crack at brewing beer. It was interesting but I decided I enjoy drinking beer more than I enjoy bottling it.

    True that, did it a few years ago, long necks rather then stubbies to "save" time, 33-34 bottles a batch and did about 8 batches, is fun but very easy to lose interest, plus the whole 3 month waiting after its bottled is annoying.

    Does anybody know of a commercial beer brand in 375ml Bottles with crownseals? We're having a little celebration coming up, thought I'd buy some bottles that I can use for homebrew afterwards.

    All the euro bottles are 330mls
