Hi Mate, are you selling these all year round? What's the best time to plant? Waiting for new house & garden to be finished before I can get some going. Rocki

Cheers for the info lads, I have blind faith in the 1.5L starter I have, as it smells & tastes fine, I'll step it up to a 15L kit brew, then run with that.

I revived some bohemian lager yeast I've had in the fridge since January, made a small 1.5L starter from some frozen wort I had. Took 36h to get going but fermented ferociously, looks, tastes & smells really heathy. I've only got a 5L flask & I'm planning a 60L lager to be fermented @ 10c...

Assuming your using a still?

Went to Virgil BBQ near time square tonight, sporting all the BBQ staples brisket, pulled pork, ribs, Mac n cheese etc, awesome food & beer prices, left fully blocked for $55 inc tip, cheapest night out yet! Decent beer list, I had the grapefruit IPA, was tasty, could taste the grapefruit...

Here's a few snaps of the Brooklyn Brewery from my tour, they only brew 35% of their beer here, mainly their seasonal's & staff inspired brews, they let every employee design their own beer every quarter, just for cellar & bar sales. They rent brewery space up the road from a mega to produce the...

Not sure birb, got a couple of bottles BB lager @ home, sourced a case thru a mate that owns a pub, as I'm yet to see it in any bottleos in my area (regional WA), my bud with the pub said he can also get 50L kegs thru his distributor, he also said its they the same mob that suppies him with...

Yeh few of them ay. Jus ignore & walk away.

If your referring to Brooklyn lager with the green label, the one mainly seen in Aust. Story goes that it's a Vienna style lager, recipe was found in notes written by one of Brooklyn breweries founders grandad, notes were found when his grandad passed, his grandad was a 4th gen brewer, they used...

Hi All, In vacation in New York City at present, finding the selection of craft beers outstanding, almost every different pub, bar or eatery I go to has a different selection of craft beers from American brewers/breweries that I've never heard of. All really tasty! Hardly see corona, coors &...

Might be worth trying a liquid yeast, I always get a cleaner finish using wyeast 1056 with a starter over US-05, I pitched dry (as the packet instructs) but I don't pay attention to their suggested pitch rate, I go with 1g per/l. I know many say they are identical, but I disagree, to my taste...

Been down this road. My bet would be on boil ph. You could try bumping your hop utilisation in your brew software up 10% as well, I run my hop utilisation in beer smith 2 @ 120%.

I'm Running a 140L HLT w/herms coil, 80L tun, 120L kettle, good for 100L batches. with the latent heat in my sparge water sitting @ 76c plus 6000w worth of Elements I can easily raise a 50-70l mash 2deg c in less than 10 mins, smaller systems would benefit from a hex imo. My old 40L 2500w setup...

my local micro exclusively uses Jw malts and makes great beer. Don't get me wrong Jw isn't my preferred base, but I'm finding this unknown batch of Jw pretty decent! mash Efficiently pretty consistent. ~90%
