Aussie sport has the MCG, Aussie Motor Racing has Bathurst, Aussie Rock has Albert Productions and Aussie homebrew has ESB Home Brewing Supplies.

Big call? Not at all!

Back in 1984 it would have been hard to imagine how important ESB Home Brewing Supplies would become. But like the MCG, Bathurst or Alberts, its significance has grown in stature through the decades having played a large part in launching the careers of some of our most successful and respected craft brewers.

Recently I primed a few bottles with dextrose which made me realise why I have been bulk priming for years. The dextrose not wanting to come out of the little red measurer then spilling onto the outside of the bottle and everywhere else. Uneven amounts going into each bottle. The time and trouble it took to fill just a few bottles and so on. Now I know I am not very dextrous with dextrose or anything else, many home brewers can prime individual bottles far better and quicker than I can. However bulk priming has its advantages. It is a faster, less chance of infection, more accurate and consistent in my experience. Read More
