We totally ruined this haha. I'm not sure if it's because of leaving the hops residue in for the whole primary or because it took too long for the wort to cool (with all that hops in it), but this beer is not an IPA. The result is a VERY bitter beer with no aroma or flavour to speak of. This...

1. I've always noticed that plastic smell/taste in garden hoses, new or old. Drinking from the garden hose is a child hood memory. 2. Dunno if star san will help with small, maybe a little. I had a strong IPA smell in my fermenter for a while. Left star san in, but then it just smelt like...

Made this recently without the soaking of the ginger in spirits. Just blended all the ginger and chilli up and boiled it real quick to kill any bugs. Followed the recipe for the rest of it. Bulk primed with 175g of sugar in the end. Turned out delicious. So much so, we're doing a double...

Racked it last week... there was a LOT of hops residue in the bottom of the primary. Hop filters are pretty important it turns out. It had a FG of 1020 after 8 days at 18 - 20 degrees. Bottled tonight (bulk primed with 100g of plain sugar) after one week of racking at around 23 degrees. The...

Lots of famous beer gardens that are kind of a must, even if you aren't into beer. Augustiner, Hofbrauhaus, Erdinger, etc. I only went to HB, but have heard from locals and visitors that Augustiner is the best one. My wife is from north of Munich and even up there they recommend Augustiner...

Yeah, I didn't add any lactose and it's balanced nicely. As oldy said... all my mates really liked this, so now we're doing a double batch for a christmas bbq.

I made this: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=972 Without worrying about the extra spirits (or soaking). My mate thought it tasted better than Bundy GB, but I think he was being kind. But to be honest, it's not really that far off. But maybe GB is GB to me. Either way...

Cheers. And with the 80 PETs from Parks I think I'm good with bottles for a while.

If they are the normal beer PET bottles (not coke or something), I'll happily take them off your hands. EDIT: Just PMed as well.

Thanks mate. I work at St Lucia, so could get them after work one night. I guess that's Brewer's Choice there? I might give them a call. Thanks Ross. I just bought a whole bunch of stuff recently, but next time I'm over that way I might just take you up on that offer.

These are all now bubbly, I just had to wait longer :)

Bump.

The guy at QHBS told me not to use dextrose for bulk priming. Something about it taking longer from memory. Of course it will still work though. He recommended plain sugar for bulk priming. I always use this calculator: http://kotmf.com/tools/prime.php It gives a good idea of what level of...

That sounds like it sucks haha. So much for automation.
