To know the right temp when in the brew-shed is an absolute must it’s gotta be said Entree - the Inkbird (spare probes n’all) just what I need to make the right call Whether cooking a barby or making a brew an accurate temp is vital for you With handsome good looks it’s clearly preferred...

Duh - memory's going down the gurgler! I just checked my recipe sheets (Beersmith) and I DID make notes. Honey went in 5 minutes before flame out. Along with the cardamom pods, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and cloves - all at 5'. Thanks Barls for the confirmation.

Limiting myself to just 5: My picks 3 points - #12 - imperial porter 2 points - # 11 - zombie dust clone 1 point - #23 - Black buckwheat witbiere Hon. mentions: #8 - Bad Santa #10 - Tassie wild dark saison

I *think* I added it in the mash. I didn't make any specific note about it. At the time, whatever I did seemed logical. It would have been at a stage where I could rinse out the honey container. Note to self: Keep better notes!!!

#22 Pilsner/Belgian Ale (couple of weeks to carb) Opened the second one this afternoon, and maybe I just don't like Belgian Ales! Both mine were cloudy, flat and headless, and reminiscent of the beginners home-brews I was turning out in the 70's using powdered Brigalow kits in the heat of a...

We're using Google's Chromecast, but it does require an HDMI socket on the tv.

MP - I enjoyed what was left of your #3 the other afternoon - holy crap Batman, it was a gusher to be proud of! By the time I got the bottle over the railing to finish it's frothy extravaganza, there wasn't a heck of a lot remaining. Wasn't sure what it would do to the deck (corrode s/s nails...

12 - Imperial Porter Great beer! Notes of coffee, chocolate, even Tia Maria, and a nice alcohol warmth. Really enjoyed it. Nice one, Angus.

I used a very tasty honey in my swap Julebryg this year (SE Qld swap). 8% of the malt/grain bill. It wasn't watered down supermarket stuff either. I buy it direct from a bee-keeper in Toowoomba for $6/kg, but I can't remember if it was a straight varietal, or from a mix of flowers/trees.

Long story, but I have a new Hanna 98128 surplus to requirements - $150 (including some sachets of calibration solution) I've been using my original 98128 for a couple of years, but recently couldn't successfully calibrate it. It rejected the 7 solution. I changed the electrode over with an old...

I had the same issue a few months back with two of my PETs - most of the beer had escaped somehow, but the bottles were still strongly pressurised. A visual inspection revealed no flaws. [Cue here the theme from The Twilight Zone...]

Despite not being an engineer :p, I actually made up a spreadsheet before I started no-chilling to calculate ice requirements, based on draining hot wort through my rectangular chiller coil. Was a good brain exercise!

Whooshka- what was that? Oh nothing really - just our culture disappearing over the hill...
