S.A....Grow there anywhere in pots...even if your in a rental. First year Cascade(US) & Fuggles(UK)...

1st year hops have sprouted (3 of 4), (x3) from Hopco in Tassie & (x1) from Diggers Club in Victoria...Starting in pots as have limited space,they have just sprouted but this cool SA weather hasn't helped either...Fuggles,Cascade(US) & Pride of Ringwood. Still got Golding's to go,will upload...

I bought a pack of 3 @Bunnings for $9,boiled them for 10mins to get rid of any plastic smell and sanitised for the next brews...budget brewing! Also have some Swiss Viole from Spotlight that I'll try on one of my future brew days,as well.. I washed the cheesecloth but it didn't make it through...

I recently made my 1st all-grain brew with a Robobrew and all went well...(no stuck sparge,thank god!) For hop addition,I used simple lengths of cheesecloth tied with a rubberband and held them in place with the lid clips on the Robobrew. I thought "there has to be an easier way?"... Homemade...

Thank you for the replies and help to the newbie! Doing the research before a disaster happens... Cheers to all. Brett05.

Thanks,burrster! Just have standard Coopers(old) fermenters and 19ltr Corny kegs for dispensing on keg sytem ATM. Just starting my adventures in all grain after several years of ol' Coopers cans. Was curious ferment temps for individual styles. "Cheers to the beer gods!!!"

Thanks for the reply, Brad! It's the only detail about all-grain recipes I can't find??? Searched all of these recipes and evolution of the Drs Golden Ale,no ferment. Thanks for helping the newbie:)

Searched websites and found the recipes but no ferment details? Just the last peice of the puzzle I need to convince the non-believers in homebrew!!! Cheers! Brett05.

Hi all,I'm new to all grain brewing(forgive me),but for the good Doctors Golden Ale recipe,what is the ideal ferment temperature and time???Do you suggest just single primary or the use of secondary ferment as well??? Thanks in advance. Brett05.
