Well said screwtop!!!!!! here here. brad

Ive used POR in some of my pride AG beers. I havent told anyone and they have congratulated me on a great beer. And the people I talk about are some of the most well named on this forum. POR Is great in its own place at its own time. brad

Too right, and nobody has talked about how the "pudding" was made. handcrafted or not, if it tastes good .... who cares?! brad

Zizzle quoted 3 bags between us, but if it makes the numbers... Ill get another couple. so, 5 bags for us pair.

Brewers, Ive seen this thing working. Its a real sight to see. Yes, there are a few slight bugs to iron out, but jeeeeeez, its amazing to watch: Sparge/recirc happens right before your eyes. No jugs or worrying about splash etc. Not only that, but the consistancy potential is unbelievable...

Hugh, I had the same thing happen with the nottingham at 13 degrees. She ferments out fast. I dont bother taking a reading with that yeast until at least 3 days. It does exactly what you said: An overcarbed beer, with a massive head. Thats why your readings cant be accurate. I will also be...

17-20 is the temps that I fermented my 3 t58 brews! :huh: Brad

thanks bconnery, What temp would you ferment t58 at so as to reduce the pepper? brad

Tangent/adamt, Send me a pm with your address. I will send you one of my belgians with t58 with pleasure. I bottled it early december which makes it at least 3 1/2 months old. I had one now and noticed the fig (along with the pepper). My tastebuds tell me that the pepper is overpowering, but...

Pumpy, Everything you require is within a couple of steps from the taps. I see no mess, but a man who knows his priorities. An empty chair next to the fridge and your done. Brad

Tangent, Ive tasted many belgian beers, but the t58 yeast was overpowering moreso than any other belgian that I have tried. Do you have a favourite belgian yeast? What are the characters? Do you use Candy sugar? Brad

I just posted a recipe of a belgian ale that I recently made and found that there is not much talk of the good old strong ale. I used a 500ml starter of trappist ale yeast WLP500, where recently I have used T58 in a similar recipe. The t58 was very overpowering with spice and pepper tones...

Mate, what can I say???!!! You all have said it. Except Im still in stitches thinking about the yoda calls at 2am and pumpy swearing by his nickname story. What about Incider stealing my pillow and sleeping on the hard cold concrete!! nice one. Your so dedicated to baabra that you wouldnt even...

Guys, Finally I have got a chance to write a quick post. Ill bring Bikkies, for sure! I havent even been pm'd the directions, so I will be driving round southeast queensland looking for a car in a tree at the moment!!!!! Anyway. gotta dash. Someone let me know where it is, and how long it...
