Hi, great thread. I've read snippets and will have to browse through this whole thread when I have time. A thing that has helped me, not really a problem but cleaning is much faster if you clean the CF chiller at the same time, attach the end of the recirc hose onto the end of the CF chiller...

Love it! Completely agree too.

Trying something different, I'm pressure cooking the galangal to try and extract as many oils as possible, if anything can do it the pressure cooker can! Brewing tonight, will post the results. I don't have kaffir lime leaves or lemon grass unfortunately and am omitting chilli due to the Mrs...

Hi, any updates on this? Many people tried it? Putting a batch down tomorrow, cheers!

hi guys, so how's the bitterness with these beers. Good or lacking? Great thread.

Whoops, edited as you aren't doing no chill, my bad.

Thanks mate.

Hi guys, I'm thinking about brewing this again but raising the IBUs to about 65 and turning it into an IPA, any dramas doing that with this recipe? (As I'm fairly new to AG). Thanks!

I live in far North Queensland and all the ones I've had have been great, they must send them straight here?!

I'll take a camping chair, a tv (for the cricket) and a big roll and I'll live in that shipping container until the jobs done! ;) SN rep was good mate, wanted to know the exact store etc. Don't think there's much they can do though mate, ship it refrigerated to Sydney or somewhere, then it's...

Hi guys, Bit sick of trying big name IPAs and PAs in Aus that have been mistreated so end up tasting like shit, so have emailed Dan Murphys, Sierra Nevada and a couple other companies..SN rep has already got back to me, probably f'all they can do about it, but at least they know.. Hi guys...

Or do what I did with my last Pale Ale, force carb it then start drinking straight away.. by the time I was halfway through the keg it was conditioned enough to let others drink it too :chug: :beerbang: :super: :kooi:

Yep, like Manticle said, I shake it until I'm stuffed (2 minutes), then I sit down and shake it a bit more just by grabbing the cube handle and rocking moderately violently side to side until it beats me and I grab a beer. Works well. I pitched a cider (juice only quick version) in my cube as...

haha gold!

Hope it's okay to revive this very old thread? I no chill cube with a bung and ferment in the cube too, on bottling/kegging day I starsan a tap and the bung area and insert the tap (then rest the cube for 20 mins so everything settles). Anyone else do the same? Any issues I should be aware of...
