They've got a Chestnut Pilsener at the brewery at the moment, fairly different to the lager, deffinetly worth a try.

I love the beers from there, the Pale Ale on tap is my favourite.

My old man allways uses the dry enzyme, I'm not a fan.

2 weeks for carbonation, thats when I'll test one. But i'll never expect the first one to taste that great. The only brew I've done thats ready for a bit of a binge after this time is DSGA, most of my pale ales need a month or 2 to taste decent enough to enjoy myself :icon_drunk:

You got a big pot?

yeah sweet, this is the info I was after, thanks everyone.

Allright, I'll give it a crack, Instead of turning the fridge off tonight, I'll do it once I've taken the brew out tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Damn, was it a plastic tap? how cold was it?

Hi guys, Just wondering what the coldest temp I can bottle my brew at, I thought I read somewhere that the brew should be around 20deg for bottling, but I dont bulk prime, I use sugar drops and put one sugar drop into each 345ml bottle. I started to think the reason why you should...

Does anyone splash or wisk the wort to arerate it after waiting 24 hours before pitching the yeast, or just chuck it straight in?

I think I read somewhere that you can purchase them on ebay throughout july, not sure how long for but. Im real keen to get my hands on some this year, my old man owns and live on a chestnut farm, so I'm planning to have about ten out there. Hop plants, that is.

The majority of my bottles have the raised lettering, probably because they where bought last year, but I had a check in the bottle cupboard and noticed that nearly all the Fat Yaks have no lettering at all, I've also noticed that some of the Fat Yak bottles are, a slight bit out of shape...

Yeah i'm keen to give this a go with my primary fermentation, I always use glad wrap for secondary but never for primary. Hate it once the lid of my fermenter fogs up and you cant see whats going on.

Alls I use is 345ml bottles (from the Matilda Bay range), For some reason I like what carbonation I get with these, due to me using suger drops for priming. Last year me and the misses went through a massive Matilda Bay peroid, it was a coulple of months before I started brewing and knew I'd...

Yeah I use a lemon scented one from Coles, under $4. I cant even smell the lemon after 2 rinses in hot tap water. Only thing I've noticed thats different from this one and 'proper' napi san is it takes a little longer to get the hop stain out of my dry hopping bag. But if left to do its job it...
