Andytambo I'm a big fan of Cascade. I generally wait a few days (3-4) after pitching yeast to put them in, but I have dropped them in at pitching with no real difference. I agree with YAPN loose hops "can" cause drama later, get yourself a stocking, hop bag or hop bomb (I'm using these now and...

Is anything like this available to allow commercial tap handles to be placed on nukataps? Are other brewers interested in fitting commercial tap handles, or just me? Pic taken from a US website.

Deleted, wrong thread. Not even drinking yet.

Don't really know why I gave up brewing 6-7 years ago, just drifted away from it. COVID was definitely the driver for taking up the hobby again. Once lockdown / shutdown (whatever you call it) started, I decided that I needed something else to occupy my time. I completed a couple of outdoor...

Yep, that's me, dusted off the HB gear after a 6-7 year break.

Yes Please

Any leads on where to buy new? I've tried 1/2 dozen LHBS and they are all sold out. Cheers Planner

Schooey Posted yesterday, bloody work keeps gettin in the way of beer stuff.

I agree Manticle, lotto is not there to provide detailed feddback to the brewer, it is there for the winner to enjoy some different beers and if they then feel like giving feedback it's their choice. I don't refrain from entering tatts each week because last weeks winner didn't tell me how they...

SWMBO helps my brewery because ...... she restricts her disaproval to a shrug of her shoulders and rolling of her eyes. Had a beer with Dad on Friday night, he was going to work on Sat (interstate driver) and Mum volunteered to bottle 45l of stout that was ready, she normally helps with the...

ekul I've had similar with a couple of batchs, but not all bottles in the batch. My brews were fairly heavily hopped, including dry hopping thrown straight into fermenter. I just put it down to hop residue. Didn't effect taste at all I've also had it happen a couple of times when I've put 2...

Qldkev Thanks for starting this again, spewin I made another donation, but will continue to enter, hoping one day to win. I think this time of year worked better and hopefully the beers arrived in better condition than trucking around the country in summer. I think this time of year must also...

Jord Thanks for the feedback, its the first feed back I've recieved from a brewer on any of my beers. On the lack of hops, I listened too much to the PoR doomsayers and reduced both flavour and aroma additions (my first use of PoR). I currently have in the fermenter the same brew with the PoR...
