I am loving this method ! Thanks to all :)

Bloody hell, this is tempting.

Hey Mate, Woundring if there are any kegs left ? I'll grab 4 minimum tommorow if I can. Thanks

I have a dog...I emailed my vet to ask about the hazards. They said that the processed hop is poisonous i.e. pellets etc. but the hop plant itself will be fine and your dog should show no interest. But to be safe, I'll keep an eye out when flowering.

This is what I have. Still have to use a bag, but i just lift the smaller pot out and put an oven shelf under it and wait for it to drain. Perfect http://www.anaconda.com.au/Product/Camping-Gear/Power-Cooker-Stock-Pot-Set#90038273 Edit: Mine is a 40 litre pot though.

I've had issues fermenting in cubes before. Not enough oxygen maybe

Tried a different hydrometer or refractometer ?

Not worried about the beer at all, it'll be sweet. I was trying to say that Vienna and hallertau arnt typically in apa's

Is a plate any better ?

Thanks. Yeah just found that thread. I'll give the hose an ice bath, see if that works

Yeah looking forward to this beer, the whole brew day went smooth. Hit all targets etc. I used p.o.r. in a wheat beer a few weeks ago. Nice drop

I have a copper chiller coil that I obviously use to cool wort down quickly. I've found that I can get the temp down from 100ish to 60 really fast, with out flushing to much water through is. From 60 to 40or30 takes ages. Any suggestions to speed this up a little. I'm just using hose water...

Ekg is common for bittering in apa's. Hallertaur and Vienna shouldn't be there though
