Sounds like a good idea. Ill try and convince my SWMBO! She loves the the fruit beer.

Thanks Assie Josh for hosting. Had a great night met some even better people! Cheers.

Hey guys, Looking forward to the swap this weekend, even though my beers craped out an I have no beer to swap. Any way was just wondering if anyone was bringing a Randall to this swap? Never had a beer out of a Randall before would be interested to try it out. Cheers. Leg

Im letting the Team down. Sorry guys but I just took myself off the swaping list. For some reason the last five attempts at a swap beer ( yes Ive tried 5 times ) have failed to ferment all the way out. Been brewing for 2 years, never happened before then 5 times in a row???? I will still be...

Good for you Fasty! I love chilli too and making chilli beer is a passion of mine. I am curently drinking a american mango chilli wheat which is fantastic. Used one Jolkia Bhut secondary fermented with the mango worked a treat. Leg

I would use real lemons but it is hard to tell how many. I would probably use 4 and make sure they are clean and sanitised.

yeah that was the first time I used it, just cranked it for the vid. Ive had the burner for about 1.5 years now and never had a problem. Though I probably will take your advice and raise the whole burner off the ground. cheers.

Photos would be great. Been thinking about doing this myself.

I don't have anything under the burner but I hardly ever crank it. Ive heard that the concrete can explode.
