Well, I can understand the OPs question. Although granted manticle is right, OP ought to have gone badass on google trawling for all available info and soaked it up like a freakin' sponge. Higher temp brewing results in funky flavours, there're several routes to offset this as manticle...

http://www.chemcases.com/alcohol/alc-07.htm With respect to alcohol, this means drinking large quantities of alcohol over many years. It has been estimated (Mazey et al., 1988) that in men the dose needed would be 600 kilograms taken chronically. This is equivalent to 72 oz of beer, 1 liter of...

Okay thanks but you still haven't answered my questions about who is "Craftbrewers"? And, define "Microbrewer"/larger orders?

Townsville, I have several questions 1. This is a total non for profit buy, done by "craftbrewers" for free. The company WILL offer a guarantee on quality for large individual orders, eg micro-brewery size. When you refer to craftbrewers, who are you referring to? 2. When you say they will...

D: Damn! Missed out on the BB. Is this going to be re-organised?

Hey Mark, fellow GC brewer here with a good tip for you. I know a local bloke who sells 2nd hand fridges for approx $50. Couple that with a $50 fridgemate from craftbrewer and your set to brew at whatever temp whenever :) Search for AAAA second hand furniture 4216, that'll find him ;p

Thanks Kram :)

*Looks again, laughs hysterically* Kudos to your BribieG. A brewer has got to be able to laugh at their failed brews :P I successfully used ground cinnamon in the ginger ale I just bottled, most of it kinda ended up in the trub though *_x, might try sticks next time.

Nah I haven't, i've only just completed my first beer the other week, it was just a fairly simple pilsener, using Swiss yeast, 500gm LDME, 1kg of dex. Dry hopped with 20gm of B-saaz. Came out mighty tasty I must say. Back to your point though, I wouldn't think "Hop tea" would work all that...

Hrmmmm, this is going to sound like a rather strange suggestion but what the hell. I work in a call centre where we're currently implementing COPC procedures/policies etc. One of these is document version control. I'm suggesting perhaps the mod's with the help of forum members create a...

It runs off the thermostat I use to set the fridge temp :) I have an ext 3 prong plug one,

Hrrmmm on the topic of those chinese hops, how do they go? Are they an inferior product like most mass produced chinese products?

The rear of the fridge is only semi covered, with the exhaust fan venting upwards, you are perhaps correct in that the coils heat up quickly probably because the design is not really effective at all. But I have noticed a dramatic difference in the fridge's ability to cool down rapidly, I had...

Sorry forgot to add, "could someone please tell me" to that =p

How, when and where exactly would I go if I wanted to join the BABBs?
