Sourdough rye baked yesterday inspired by all the great bread pics in this thread............ Cheers, Craig

Talking of putting stuff on bread rolls etc............. I used to work with a guy who swore by half a large block of caramello chocolate between 2 slices of bread or on a bread roll. One of my favourites - reheated left over rissoles and gravy :icon_drool2: Cheers, Craig

Last nights dinner.......... Veal cutlets with mushroom sauce :icon_drool2:, baked baby potatoes with rosemary salt and buttered beans. All washed down with a couple of glasses of kolsch for me a sparkling shiraz for the wife. Cheers, Craig

How do you find the rye in a stout Kai? I love the stuff but hadn't thought of using it in a stout. Cheers, Craig

Managed to pick up a couple of 4 packs from Dan Murphys at Greenhills tonight :D They had about 2 cases worth left on display - tried to find out if they had more out the back but the helpful sales assistant must have got lost or run over by a forklift as he is yet to return to let me know...

I would stick with the peanut butter - unless your mice really like the taste of kitten :lol: :lol:

Zoddy, Try NNL Beer Supplies www.nnlbeersupplies.com.au Send a PM to Bigfridge and he should be able to help you out - I think he still has some left. Cheers, Craig

Thanks guys - I actually can't complain about NRMA they have been pretty good. They have agreed to replace all the brew gear without question - I wasn't sure they would. And look at the bright side I get to go shopping for shiny new gear :icon_chickcheers: Cheers, Craig

Thanks for the kind thoughts guys :beerbang: It has been an interesting experience to say the least! 2 cars written off, about $45k damage to the garage / house and the majority of the garage contents damage or destroyed. But worst of all 95% of my brewing gear, supplies and bottled beer...

Brewing mine at 16 atm but still get huge krausen as described by Warren. Cheers,

Probably around the 1.005 maybe slightly less. You can add LDME if you want..........I have attached a PDF with a recipe including malt or search / google ginger grail. Cheers, Craig

+2 I'm with BB and Warren. Have one in primary right now with Nottingham :super: Craig

G'day Gerald, Your OG figure sound pretty right - the Morgans GB actually says approx 3% alcohol on the outside of the tin. The Coopers GB says approx 3.5% using 1kg of raw sugar. Cheers, Craig

Especially Roaring Forties Blue.............or any of their blue cheeses for that matter :D :D :D
