how do you torture a beer?

i take one just before throwing in the yeast and thats all, i am pretty sure that after 2 weeks it all done and i tend to use fairly similar grain bill size and temps...

i use a chest freezer, freezers have much better insulation so when i ferment at 18d it wont turn on for hours, i just run it on high . freezers have more powerful motors so only need a minute to whip it back down to desired temp

Try this guy. He and his old man are always cutting slabs. he is at lota near wynnum Andrew and Steve 3396 0017

good thanks

masters now has a good range. they have chocolate habs, bhut jolokia, chocolate bhut, 7 pod, ones that look like dicks and a few others.

36L round coolers at fcb 25%off makes the about $65 just brewed in one lost 0.2 deg over 40 min...pretty happy.

rinse/hose scum off bottom. starsan through keg and tubes fill forse carb drink 20 min max

most of my pales are being consumed on their 8th day from grain.....no complaints

8 fly lager

picked up a growler from green beacon last week and am now wondering where else in briz i can refill it. seems to be quite popular in most states so i am guessing the legalities have now been sorted. any suggestions? jeremy

just use a stick with the markings i was going to put a sight glass on and anthony from craftbrewer talked me out of it......so glad he did! and as truman said, dont drill anything to close to the curve go a tad higher and just adjust beersmith to to allow for a couple extra litre loss.

Now im scared :unsure:

yeah an hour not so bad.....i takes me 4! i didn't even get to the ferment stage, it got into the no chilled cube. i didnt let the hot wort sit in the handle..maby some of the reason, who knows.

victory?
