I smacked a pack of 3787 for our local Belgian Brew-off. I have all the confidence I'm going to win. I have my CaraBelg, and zested mandarins, crushed coriander seeds, etc.. I just pitched 3787 into a 3litres, of a 5 litre erlenmeyer flask. Now I wish it was a 30 litre fermenter, its about to...

oooooh, thats some serious wit you have there Bribes, I sure hope Ron Burgundy isn't lurking... stay classy AHB :D

Its hard to tell from photo, but is the infection limited to just the furry bit on top? <--heheh furry infection ;) maybe scoop the bacteria from top, and culture the bottom yeasties (for the lager). if you find another clean slant or you smack another pack, try this method and compare...

dude, email them that exact question, and I guarantee JT gets back to you within a few days on price and availability. the internet is amazing, it blows my mind every second day, and I have a monster melon, I swear. I'd post a picture of it but your screen isn't big enuff

damn.. I thought my march pump was a good buy at $173au (at 91c exchange) -im going to go broke saving this much money. anyone wanna buy an overpriced march pump? Apologies to Ross at Crafties, Neville at Gryphon, Old Mate at LHBS, etc I love you all, and I'll be back, I'm chasing this good...

Made me lol Wolfy :P But wait... How would you know what ladies' stockings look like? when crumpled up? :D I agree Nick, the importers need to adapt to the changing market, whether they like it or not. And its not just the hops, all brewery equipment that's imported is doubled everytime it...

I used my dirty socks and jocks as padding in between the layers (quarrantine loves sifting thru that :D ). I should've left them in for the photo, because they looked spectacular with the dozen or so Rogue/Chimay/SNPA/Kona longnecks they were wrapped in.

Heh, yes, the first bloke fell over backwards, then I was sent to the xray machine, and the hugest coincidence is the xray machine bloke was an extract/partials brewer, and after a lot of fast talking there was no "rubber-glove" treatment . *phew*

Here is a picture of our "case" :super: .

I went broke trying to save money by brewing my own beer :beerbang:

And you'll need a box of short circuits too, ask the bloke behind the counter for a bakers dozen.

Ive had great results with the homemade version available from USA at stirplates.com However IF i was going to spend on a commercial plate, I would definetly have heating on my list of requirements. (Shed 12deg limited to lager yeasts, Laundry is 19deg and great for ale yeasts). In winter time...

Mick, Cant comment on the "bar-bell" type, but... I bought my "pivot-ring" bars from proscitech in townsville, a 2pack of 50mm (octagonal profile) and 4pack of 35mm (hexagonal profile).. Compared to the standard bar, they're definately noisier, yet I think they spin harder than a standard bar...

Last time I was in USA I found Widmers Pitch Black IPA on tap - truly amazing beer! :icon_drool2: http://www.widmer.com/beer_w_series.aspx " Pitch Black IPA is a Pacific Northwest twisted tribute to an IPA style of beer. It is almost a traditional IPA but it is instead brewed to the emerging...

Hi Aaron, If you can control the ferment temp, then go with the WY2001, it is a great match, during the ferment period I always smell some bitter acidity something, but that seems to be gone after I crash chill. Saaz or Hallertau are both perfect for hop-tea additives. Also, Vienna or...
