    Inkbird giveaway and New product releasing humidity controller IHC-200 WIFI

    This has soo many applications that I could use it for! Everything from growing orchids, to curing meats + cheeses, to barrel ageing beer and spirits. But mostly right now I could really do with one for my set-up to grow all my favourite fussy mushrooms, like king oysters!

    Hot Cube, in a keg?

    I've done it quite a few times without issue. I do a full breakdown on my kegs at least once every 2nd or 3rd clean. And pressure cook everything that'll fit, excluding the PRV (the cheaper ones will melt). I brim fill hot, and then put 3 bar of top pressure, and top up for the first few hours...

    Kveik yeast

    I haven't tried bottle conditioning with it. But in my experience it will come back to life given more sugar to eat. If you ferment it hot, it goes pretty hard. If you've had a stable gravity for 24-40 hours and it's finished about where you'd expect. It should be right to bottle well under a...

    Belgian Candi Sugar - CONFUSED!!

    I've had a few goes at doing this. Another hot tip I've found, that I haven't seen anyone else try; is to add a small amount of fruit rich in Anthocyanin. Anything with a reddish to blue black colour will work. A handful of blueberries works fine. Figs add awesome flavours, but contain a fair...

    Beer motivated trip to Belgium... anyone been there?

    Hi Wobbly74, I saw the bathtub photos on Facebook. I'm planning a beer holiday middle of next year, visiting Amsterdam (for Carnival Brettanomyces) then visiting Germany, Belgium, Norway, Czech Republic, Finland etc. Anyway, can you give some more details about the brewery hotel in Prague. By...

    Whats In The Glass

    Warm, uncarbonated, Flanders Red style red sour barrel aged (then kegged for storage) beer is tasting pretty on point! Not only is it super convenient to drink this way, I have also found that I prefer the texture, subtle lactic/acetic balanced acidity, and most importantly the flavour profile...

    Voss Kveik

    Yes, I've heard this too. I rent a small self contained flat at the back of someones property. I still haven't figured out a polite and sane way to explain to them, that if you hear me randomly screaming. That everything is actually ok. I'm just pitching some yeast that I found on the internet...

    Voss Kveik

    There's an Australian guy selling it on Facebook, so i got it off of him. https://www.facebook.com/groups/820882514671607/search/?query=kveik There's a few other international kveik groups that people sell various types on. Worth having a poke round. I'm currently using heater belts. They get...

    Voss Kveik

    Hi, I'm drinking a beer I fermented with Gjernes Voss. I didn't add much hops, and I had a pretty vigorous boil. SG unwittingly crept up to 1093. I fermented at 38 degrees. That's as hot as a heater belt would get my demijohn. I didn't get much of the orange ester from it, but I've got heaps of...

    Whats In The Glass

    This is a ******* golden sour. I, at any one time have about 15 demijohns of various concoctions of brett and mixed ferment beers doing their thing. This is a blend of three; A barrel aged saison, an aged berliner weisse, with a lactobacillus pre-sour, fermented with wyeast 3191. And a half full...

    Belgian Beerfest 2017

    Results are up. But unfortunately it doesn't look like my beer made it into the competition. I guess dropping off on the day wasn't a wise decision.
