So I contacted an Omega Yeast supplier and apparently it is awaiting approval given the genetic alteration. Apparently it was being sold last year (not sure what triggered the pause in sales), so it looks like I was a few months late in sourcing some.

Haha, that stuff might be a little dank for my hazy ipa!

Hi All, I have done some googling for an Australian supplier of Cosmic Punch and didn't get have any luck. I haven't gone to the next step yet and emailed Omega stockists. I also searched the forum and couldn't find any threads on it. So does anyone know if we can get this yeast? Or is it not...

Subscribed (I think - didn't get any confirmation). This would be a cool prize to win to save me from disconnecting my bottle from the keg fridge to do pressure transfers. Nick.

Hey Guys, Just wanted to do a bit of a follow up on this one for the peeps that gave me advice. The Dry Hopped FWK is bottled and I just had the first one last night. It’s exactly what I hoped for, nice and bitter with quite a smack of citra (might even put a bit more in the next one ). Total...

Making hop tea is a great idea! The US IPA FWK is only 55IBU so if it’s not bitter enough next time I might boil some hop tea and add that rather than just 3 litres of plain boiled water.

Funny more dry hops was mentioned - I was actually thinking about using citra in the SMaSH in lieu of Amarillo so then I could put the spare 10ish grams into the IPA as well! I know I like citra, so the experiment was for both doing BIAB and also tasting Amarillo by itself.

Hey thanks for the detailed reply ! I think I’m just hoping that the fermentation is over on the FWK so then I can dry hop for 3 days and bottle on Aus Day. If not, well I just have to bottle later on after work next week. I’m thinking that only dry hopping for 3 or so days should mean that...

Hi Guys, Ive just gotten back into brewing beer (been mucking around with meads for a few years). I have recently stuck a G&G US IPA FWK into the fermenter with Wyeast 1056. Planning on dry hopping with 80g of citra tomorrow if the ferment has really slowed down. Given 1056 was not a cheap...

Thanks GravityGuru, I have already brewed up a batch (just kept it as per the recipe), however my next batch I will be doing as you suggested and drop the amount of sugar. Nick.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question, I am trying to follow Chappos recipe and create a ginger beer with a 4.5-5%ABV. From memory Chappos ABV was 6%ish (I might be wrong though). Should I reduce the brown sugar or the honey or both by the percentage I'm after? Does anyone think this will have any...

Thanks for all the replies & the great offers ! I'm really after stubbies as I've already build the storage shelves and they won't fit a long neck. I'll be sending Ben a PM to hopefully take some off his hands Thanks, Nick.

Hi Guys, New to brewing, hoping to put down a ginger beer shortly. Just bought my beginner kit from Grain and Grape yesterday ! Only piece of the puzzle missing is the crown seal stubbies. Anyone have extras they are willing to sell ? I'm in Yarraville and happy to travel around the west. Would...
