LAST CHANCE before this goes onto ebay

c'mon guys...i really don't wanna have to put this on ebay ;)

Nope its just controlled by a dial, with 'min' to 'max' Min being 5degC and max 18degC, and in between just figure out with trial and error, but its always easy

Totally forgot to mention - pickup is in Sydney - in Tempe to be precise, which is near Sydney International Airport / Marrickville / St Peters

Hey all, Well im headin' overseas for a while, and got no where to store my brew setup so it has to go! At this stage, looking to sell this complete (not selling anything separately) This stuff is all really new, i've only done 5 batches in it Hit me up a private message if you're interested...

i ended up using the remainder of the vanilla bean paste jar in the dark ale i just bottled, prob about 5-6 tablespoons, and is still completely unnoticeable won't be going back to vanilla bean paste, definitely trying actual vanilla pods next time

check the temp range on it... some don't have much temp range, some have up to 3deg-18deg try and get one with a motor, they have a bit more guts and will handle the big load a lot better it's slow moving with temp changes, but holds a temp well first day or two of fermenting can be a bit...

i wish i could say this was the case, but i've haven't tasted this flavour AT ALL in either of my two previous batches. i also tasted my first two batches on bottle day, and much too early in the bottle and didn't taste anything like this its still there and very strong, and i'm a few days...

i dont have a second fermenter unfortunately. would it really be that bad for it to sieve it out? if its still all floating at the top that is

thanks for all the help guys manticle - soaking hops in water is a good idea, ill get my hands on some more cascade today and give it a go. cheers the giant - i cut the lime into about 12 small pieces then boiled it in a small amount of water and threw it all in. i saw many different ways to...

ok well thats good to know it could simply be the hops flavour. i figured it would age out a bit over time, but bit of a shock tasting it in there! its my first dry hop attempt so i don't really know how its supposed to taste, but its definitely quite a strong taste...i wouldn't say overruling...

hello, please help just dry hopped (12g cascade) + added 1 cut up lime into fermenter of an already fermented "dry lager" kit, its been in there for 48 hours, and had a few tastings, and besides a kinda faint grassy taste (assuming from dry hopping), there is also a bad shampoo / soap / talcum...

thanks earle...good stuff. i'll check it out again

reporting back on results i ended up adding 1 TABLEspoon (1 TEAspoon = 1 vanilla bean pod) and it is completely unnoticeable in my amber ale. Definitely needs more to have any real presence. I'm gonna give 2 x tablespoon's in my next brew (dark ale) and i'll see how it goes
