Hi Curly, I'd be keen on some Victoria and Cascade if you have any left over and if your happy to mail to Ballarat? Pm me your details and costs and can get it happening. Thanks

Hi Jason, I'd be keen to get some Mt Hood, EKG , And some chinook if ud be happy to ship out to Ballarat. Very keen to get some hop plants established.

Yeah I'm with JDW81 I've brewed up something like brewdogs 5am Saint and can confirm it's a cracking beer drank plenty of them of tap when I lived in Scotland[emoji106]I uses US05 and turned out great.

I've got some harvested wyeast 2001 in the fridge so might have to give that a crack and see Bribie. Wouldn't take a lot would it

Thank JD ,I suppose patience is needed more when brewing lagers than ales. Saying that can't wait to taste this batch

Ok so since I've been holding at 1 degree c for a month would I be best adding some extra year at bottling or would raising the temp a bit higher get the yeast back in suspension?

Hi and thanks for the replies, how long do you usually leave your brews lagering? Also will I need to add more yeast after a 6 week lagering around 1'c or will it be ok.I still bottle all my beers and they taste good would just like to have it looking good as well as taste .

Looking at methods used for how you guys get your beers clear and bright looking? Will a longer lagering time do all the work or should I be adding some product to get it happening. Currently have a Fest beer in secondary at 1'c and Boh Pills in primary about ready to rack to secondary?

Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm leaning towards dumping this jar and getting another packet of yeast I'd rather not take a chance. The original beer was a pale straw coloured Hefeweizen and it was a simple but lovely tasting brew.Got plenty of wheat and organic Pilsner grain so might see...

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi I harvested the yeast from a Hefe I did back at start of March and kept in fridge since then, don't know if it's still viable and should it look like this or has something gone wrong. The dark colour is putting me of using it and ruining a batch. Should I be binning it and starting fresh it...

I would like to put my name in for a case of these also please? Thanks Andy

Thanks for sharing they have some great beers out there, their brew pubs in UK are well worth looking up if you ever get the chance to be there.

Don't know if you got fixed up but got a. Grade sparky mate living near you looking for some extra work right now, can get his details to you if required.

Could I please be next in line if others don't pick them all up?
