Matty A Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have notices. A lot of new faces. I noticed the forum is still in its old format and the extra pretty colours. I have also noticed Weggl left us Thanks Nick - Took a little while to get working properly tho. I had major issues with the beer getting warm in the tower if you didn't finish the schooner within 5 minutes. I found a good solution for that tho, drink faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have been pretty active on this site before but come and go from the site every now and then. Since I am back for a bit I have noticed a few new names so I better introduce myself. My name is Matthew I am 24 years of age and am a Network Admin, similar to Anthony. I have currently been brewing for roughly 2.5 years, I love big beers such as stouts and IPAs. I have been brewing All Grain for roughly 1.5 years. I only have a little 3v setup which didnt cost me a great deal at all but brews the perfect amount for a keg. the SWMBO had a big hand in setting up my system, purchasing little odds and ends when she found them cheap. She also found my whole bar setup which I would spend the whole day if I had the chance. Don't drool too much fellas.[love] you spoilt bastard lol, cheers Ned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well done Matty. I hope you stick around. AG brewing at 24? S**t mate, by the time you're my age (34) you'd better be inviting us all to your own micro brewery! [happy] I'm a network admin too, although probably not in the same league as most.

Soundawake Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Righto I better introduce myself as well. Name's Mike, 31 years old. I service pokies and TAB terminals for a living. The industry of misery. I also work as a JP. Started brewing back in high school and used to sell the beer cheap at parties. Picked up the hobby again when I turned 30, and am brewing AG, BIAB with an urn. I also work for an audio/home hifi company, and am into high end home audio. Speakers, turntables, etc. Heavily into music, if I'm home I have music playing. Vast range of genres. I'm usually playing music off a network drive, piped through to my main system in the lounge, or smaller living room system. However if I want to sit down and have a proper listen to an album I'll usually play records on my Linn LP12 turntable. I brew in my cellar under the house, however the temp has reached 22.1 degrees down there so that's come to a halt. I have an old fridge in the garage and an STC1000 I've yet to wire up, I'll have to get that going soon as my latest batch of AG beer didn't turn out at all and will likely have to tip the lot sadly. No kids, just two cats and two bearded dragons. Getting married in April. (gulp) Thats pretty much it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For minimum dollars that still gets you a reputable brand and resale value, I'd go for a Rega RP1. Or you could get a second hand Rega P3, (the next model up). Don't forget you'll need to buy a phono preamp as well to boost the signal for your amp, so you'll need to factor this into your budget. Don't hesitate to ask more questions and pick my brain!

Nick Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks Russell for sharing that. Its probably good that this thread has been given a bump as there are a lot of new members joined since xmas. This is a good place to tell us a bit about yourself and to learn a bit about other members. Many members have more in common than just brewing, so here is a place to chat...just remember to include some brewing chat now and then or PB2 will banish the thrread to Siberia[biggrin] [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he ever used it though.[unsure] Like most homebrewing in that era, probably got used once and then banished to the dirty old shelf in the back of the shed. Its probably just a home for critters now...time to call in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB8 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hey Ma names Graham (doh!) but apparently when I landed it was changed by the locals to Grahbo or the as popular Pommy c$%t. I live up here on the Sunny coast, originally shipped in to fix your bridges after the 2011 floods, after the work was finished I decided to stay and since you Aussies didnt give a f@rk Im still here. Im married and have a teenage pain in the arse. Love fishing, 4wd'ing and Im a member of the local wood crafting guild. I love my Belgiums & stout but Im currently making a few lagers the traditional way. My fav kit is Coopers APA spiked with US C hops but my main method of producing liquid gold is my frankenstein 3v system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day neighbour, you may have more bridges to fix after the weekend if the forecast is right. I see you enjoy a fish, i get out on the Maroochy most week ends, but its been pretty quiet lately. my fav type of fishing is out on the dams chasing bass and Yella, infact i'm going back out to Boondooma in a couple of weeks. Being from the motherland and still having a slight accent, i get pommy cnut a fair bit...i tell myself its a term of endearment[roll] Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
