Woke up this morning to multiple emails/texts about this. No, Kegland haven't just whacked my name on their own recipes. Kee approached me and asked if I'd be interested in creating some recipes for KegLand. I agreed and these are my own recipes that I tweaked to use their ingredients. I've...

Worm farms. Basically a flower pot with the saucer used as a lid to keep birds out.

Currently on tap, a rye golden ale with homegrown Victoria hops. Went a bit lighter on the late additions, 1g/L at 20 and 0. Very tasty. Conserving the Victoria after the bines got smashed in a storm a few weeks ago so looking like a very small crop this season.

My first crack at a 3 sisters planting. Corn, climbing beans and pumpkin. 1 week between the pictures. Not too shabby.

Sorry mate, gave all my rhizomes to the SA brewing club to raise funds.

3 doses of glyphosate and 1 dose of triclopyr (tree killer) fixed it good. This is what I dug out.

I brew a hoppy mild at 3% abv max, quite a bit different to the GA recipe. It's in the recipeDB. I'll have a look for it later if you're interested.

300 tomato seeds planted and into the germination chamber at 24C with a 12/12h on/off cycle for the LED grow lights. I'll be selling them as advanced seedlings in spring as part of my business with part proceeds going to my local CFS crew. Getting up to 100% germination rates using this system...

Citation needed for the flow rates on chlorine and chloramine please.

Yes they do.

Yes. Received PM. Will respond by the end of the weekend.

Fairly confident the Victoria rhizomes I am selling are the original Victoria. I first planted them 2009/10 and others had been growing before me. As far as I am aware, no one is buying and selling Vic Secret rhizomes. Confusing though. That said if you want loquat/apricot in your beer then...

Tasted a few beers made using the cultured version of this yeast. Definitely had a Belgian character. The strain is in the culture collection at the AWRI.

I have Victoria rhizomes dug up and ready to go. I'm in SA so you already know you'll be paying Quarantine fees. I'm happy to do the paperwork and comply with the restrictions, I did it successfully last year. Also look up 'Hop Swap' on Facebook which is a WA group. I send them several shipments...

Down to the 1 variety now, Victoria (not Vic Secret). I describe it as adding a loquat type flavour to your beer, I have heard it described as apricot and drinking my latest batch of rye golden ale using Victoria hops I can see how that description works. $15 each plus $12 express postage for...
