Classic Brewing Co Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Probably not terribly important, but I notice the Member Map dosen't show details on quite of the lot of the members that are active on the forum. There also seems to be a lot of entries that are inactive as well. But it's only an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 yes im fairly sure that we can only activate it to let others see us. some only let see the town others will allow exact adress on street I haven't bothered with it yet as haven't came across a member close enough to me to meet for a yarn about brewing.

Classic Brewing Co Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 I agree, at least if we had more details on our brewing neighbors we might be able to catch up. I do with one guy who is only one suburb away. Also a couple of other mates that brew but both are not interested in anything else than a quick mix up, whack it in the shed & start drinking the brew before it's had to mature.

Pity it isn't this month. I'm taking a few days down at Port MacConnell at end of Feb - could'a called in with a few home brews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjjohnn0 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 My first brews will happen when I get to Millicent, kind of lurking here for ideas and brain picking. Number one question I'll have is how to deal with the local water and whether its' up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 @Journeyman Not meaning to pick you up, did you mean Port MacDonnell ? I bet you end up in the Victoria Hotel - absolutely great place in SA's Southernmost Town, I have been there heaps of times, good times in the Bar with the locals. Enjoy. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @xjjohnn0 I think you will find the water in Millicent OK, you could install a Pura Tap as I did, but not sure how it works in rural areas. All the best anyway, Cheers.

xjjohnn0 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Been living in a little flat in North Melbourne for the last 30 years so quite familiar with Sunshine and Brooklyn.

The council got sacked and creditors took over because had been stealing millions. Is this big fence still for all the work being done or stop the spread of covid? 4 minutes ago, xjjohnn0 said: Been living in a little flat in North Melbourne for the last 30 years so quite familiar with Sunshine and Brooklyn.

xjjohnn0 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yep, country air, vegie patch, brew beer, try growing some bush tucker plants like midgin berries and muntries potentially adding to brews if the yields are generous, get on the motorbike and load up the camera and a few lenses for various sizes and take a few landscape and wildlife pics(bugs included). I might even be able to get pics of cubic wombat skats if I'm lucky I might even feed some hungry fish in that Southern Ocean with choice tidbits from the local tackle shop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xjjohnn0 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I remember doing a shutdown at the Meadowlea factory where I was bicycling to the job. The rats in the rail yard had me a bit worried. They were that big and full of attitude that I thought they'd try to mug me and nick my bike. I wonder where they've gone since the rail works.
