If any Melbourne based brewers are digging some up this year id be keen to buy some, might look good growing up the side of the garden shed.

I bought a 20kg bag with a mate, worked out to $7.35 per kg including freight as apposed to $11.95 from the lhbs. 10KG each should last a few brews

ok, so either will work but 1kg of dry is equivilent to 1.5kg of liquid?

kind of a newbie question. Is there any distinct advantages using liquid malt over dry malt or visa versa? Or can they be interchanged at certain ratios?

cheers Bum, might leave it till the weekend I then bottle it will be 6 weeks in the FV by then.

+1 for bulk priming. Ive done for my last few beers and a cider i made and it was easy. less mucking around and not worrying if you put carb drops in or not. Ive also found it produces a better head on the few bottles ive sampled.

Ok, so i took another gravity ready yesterday and it dropped to 1004 might check again tonight or tomorrow and if its constant i'll bottle it. Should i expect it to drop any lower? i dont wanna have ginger beer spread across my garage and all over thw wifes car .

Yeah that did cross my mind when I was looking at it

Just picked up an old school kelvinator fridge to use as a fermenting fridge! Has anybody had success in removing the freezer section??? If I can remove it I will be able to fit two Fermentors in it. Temperature control is now in reach!!! Cheers

Ive just put down an ESB Creatures pale ale wort kit with 25g cascade dry hopped. Will be interesting to see how much sediment i get and what its like to drink. You cant really get an easier beer kit but they arent cheap. Worked out to $50 including yeast and hops.

Cheers, ill just be a bit more patient and check again in a few days.
