Yes please - just getting into full-grain brewing as I have my first born on the way. This would be helpful for both baby's milk and brewing and would definitely assist in making both pursuits more affordable! Nice thing to do, thanks.

Hahah, yep, so you know more about the terror threat than the Director Generral of ASIO who also happens to be a former commander in the SAS. You just magically know stuff that he doesn't. Or, he's being careful with the facts just for ***** and giggles and you know how things really should be...

Agreed, for both!

Agreed, evidence is king. The legend that I'm questioning is the one that I've heard ad nauseam that this beer was brewed specifically to last the voyage to India by way of heavy alco and heavy hop. From what I've been reading that is not the case. Yes it was popular in India but that is all...

Merry go **** yourself and a happy new year.

@mantickle yep, the top part that’s not immersed in cool water has been covered in wet towels for 36 hours now. I have some ice in the freezer, which will rotate through to keep the temp down once I pitch the yeast. @RobinW Agreed but this batch is particularly stubborn!

I look like my father when I beard up. So I don't often beard up....

Thanks, the crud ended up eventually settling below the tap so I was able to get a clear reading (the sediment in the first tube only varied the reading by about 1 point in the end). But my problem now is different. This wort just won't cool enough for me to pitch the yeast. It has been 36...

Yeah, that is by far the best chuanr bbq I've ever seen. Wildly jealous!
