    Anyone remember what colour each of the hop shots are? I have a small stock pile of them and always checked the website before using them. I was about to add some to a keg but not sure which colour is which now.

    Great I will take 1 of each (maybe more), when are they expected to arrive? Do I just order through the site when they become available?

    Hop Dealz Australia

    I was after any of the typical good fruity IPA hops (citra, mosaic, galaxy, centenial, simcoe etc), maybe a clean bittering hop (magnum, warrior, horizon) and maybe a noble(saaz etc)

    Hey Yob I just checked the website to put in a big order as usual and found it basically empty. Came here to see what was up. I can't believe you are shutting down!! You were basically the only hop supplier I trust to always have decent quality hops!! Good luck with your next venture. I am...

    Melbourne Water

    Not sure if Willy is short for Williamstown, but if so you would be using different water to me in Preston.

    Melbourne Water

    I am in Preston. We have yarra valley water. I have never been able to find a water report from them that includes all of the relevant minerals. They do say that preston uses a mix of Sulivan and Sugarloaf which are both generally very low in mineral content (from the melbourne water report)...

    Melbourne Water

    Just finished brewing and my tap water was the lowest it has ever been ~6.0 ph. That is way lower than normal (and yes I checked the calibration of my ph meter). Pretty sure there must be a lot more mineral content in the water and it would be screwing up my water calculations. Is there any way...

    Hydroponic hops

    I know this is a fair way off, but does anyone know what are the options on winterising the hydro hops?

    Sour beer not souring!

    IBS contains lacto P I think it is highly intolerant to IBU and it prefers 30C+. Most people that have had success with it have used a starter and sticking to 30C+ without and hops.

    Hydroponic hops

    After your inspiration, I got mine up and running. Took me some of last night and most of the day to build it. After a fair bit of research I decided to go with a recirculating dutch/bato bucket setup that I built my self. This seems to be similar to what the commercial growers are using (I was...

    You got me excited and I did a heap of reading and research into it last night. I am going to setup my own system with ~3 plants as a test. I will keep you updated.

    "Dry hopping" with orange peel and coriander

    I have dry hopped with orange peel a number of times before. The amount you need depends heavily on the oranges. The stronger smelling orange the less you need. When making my wit beer I add coriander and orange zest @5min to go in the boil. Then if it is still lacking some citrus I will "dry...
