i used sterile containers and melbourne tap water which i was told would be fine. so the yeast sediment isn't always 1 colour, that makes me feel better. cheers

i recently used a new technique (as in new to me) to farm yeast. the one where you split the smack pack (without popping the yeast nutrient) into about 8 or 9 test tubes and top up with water and store in the fridge. they have been in the fridge for over 2 months now. i recently came back from...

thanks for your advice warren, will probably not worry about specialty grain if not really neccessary then. one less pot to clean and a lot less messing around :D cheers

i'm just writing this in the hope someone can give me a bit of feedback on the above recipe. i might also throw in some crushed cardamon pods too. some are kicking around the house. cheers

reading all your great reviews on the saison brews has made me keen to give it a crack too. the problem is i am an extract brewer and have only seen all grain recipes. looking at the grains used though, i think it would be quite possible to make a decent extract saison. this is what i have...

i'm from melbourne and have also wondered if there is anywhere to get cheap malt extract. i already get a decent price at grain and grape (5 kilos of light DME for 30 bucks). dark is like 9 bucks a kilo and i think wheat is 11 or 12 bucks a kilo. i would love to move onto AG, but that will...

i would love 50 too. that is if you don't mind sending them to melbourne... cheers

thanks for the recipes snow. i find it quite hard to find a good partial mash recipe for belgium styles. i might give one of yours a crack in a month or two, i'm just wondering what the size of your batches were. cheers

i'd love to be in on this bulk buy too. would like about 500 grams of amarillo, cascade and fuggles. what prices are we lokking at?

I still haven't got mine yet. Anyone else in melbourne not got theirs yet.

Oops accidently added that reply. How do you edit posts? I was going to say something funny but now i have forgotten :blink:

Excellent, at a paty yesterday people were impressed by a guy opening bottles with his belt. But with a ring

Has anyone got there rings yet? I live in melbourne and it hasn't come in yet. Has anyone used theirs yet, I'm guessing it might hurt your finger when you open a bottle. Even if it does it would be worth it :D

I've had the speculator on tap a few times and i loved it. However i went there a few weeks ago and i couldn't find it there. They had a different beer called Currency lad, it is a lager and although it was around midnight on Friday :ph34r: it tastes very strongly of passionfruit. What hops...
