Hi Ric,
I used to brew it back in the 70's- early 80's. In Townsville. Friends used to come over with commercial beer to watch the cricket. The commercial stuff was left on the bench. No one wanted to drink it. We all agreed the home brew stuff was better.
I was in the Army. It was a time when we would sit out on the front deck, high up. The six regulars, eating mud crabs, full of beer and bad manners yahooing at the young ladies walking past on the street.
We were all from the electronics and vehicle mechanics trades. Bad soldiers. Lots of fun.
Cheers Marty
