How are you hops looking? Should be shooting about now! I need to get a trellis up for mine this weekend..

Those Maxim tool boxes look alright, decent pricing too.

Sunscreen needed in the sun, but still ****** cold!

So.. if you brew enough you could feed some cattle your spent grain... would make for tasty eating :) Unsure what Smiling Samoyed at Myponga do with all their spent grain, but might be worth a call if you have cattle. That's the best retirement that keg could dream of :) I'd bet it never had...

Not the greatest idea to be posting photos or discussions of how you've secured your garage door :) I'll PM you with what I did as a suggestion, allows simple open/unlock from inside and keeps the emergency release active.

Glad to hear you're getting into homebrewing :) Check out http://www.brewadelaide.com/forum/ for an excellent local forum, and http://www.sabrew.com for a local homebrew club (Disclosure: I'm on the committee of SABC) I've got Chinook and Cascade growing here :) (and can I plug my homebrewing...

Glad to finally see some real Japanese car enthusiasts and their garages here!

Dropped into L&H a day or so ago looking for fluro's with 4 tubes. Unfortunately they're not available in a batten fix model. They are available only in, uh, I forget the name he called it but they're sunk into the ceiling. Not keen on going that far right now so the 4 x 2 tube 36W fluros will...

Things got a little cramped last night. IMG_20141117_200531 by auvortex, on Flickr I have a few ideas about how I can do some more reorganisation to create some more space which I'll get to on the weekend. We have a sparky coming out on Tuesday next week to wire up 4 new fluro lights which...
