Alright, I'm getting pretty keen to get rid of this. Will happily swap for a six pack if anyone is remotely interested.

Yeah it's an older one! Think they were around for a couple years.

Got my old tap king setup for sale: - 29 bottles / lids/ tubes/ seals - modified tap head with CO2 regulator - handful of CO2 bulbs to suit regulator (threaded) - handful of CO2 bulbs to suit bottle heads (unthreaded) - 2 unmolested tap king heads - tools and bits and pieces to suit...

No worries, I'll get them out in the next few weeks and make a thread about it

Nah wanting the mother plant gone, but I think you've answered my question about whether the rhizomes are viable even though it hasn't died back yet, so cheers

So I'm the reason I'm wanting to move it, is that it went ballistic and took over a big area - probably going to pot it for next season to keep it more contained. Do you reckon the rhizomes would be viable if I dug it up now?

So I had a bumper crop of hops earlier in the year, but the bines haven't died back at all and are actually still flowering. Sounds unusual, had anyone had this happen? I'm wanting to dig them up but hesitant to do it until it dies! https://i.imgur.com/rHMjyc3.jpg

Got a crop of Victoria hops all but ready, and I don't reckon I'll be able to use them all. Once I start harvesting I'll have a better idea of how much is available but drop me a PM if you are interested in grabbing some and we'll take it from there. Free but home brew donations accepted!

RB V2 in great nick for sale. Comes with malt pipe/lid/handle as standard, extra silicon hose that fits the tap, and a super-duper custom insulating jacket. Selling due to upgrade to V3 Full pics here: https://imgur.com/a/tD7CFk1 No functional issues, no scorch marks on bottom. Happy to demo...

Had to pull my regulator apart and clean it, couldn't find any instructions so here is a few pics in case someone can use them. Got some detailed help from Graham from Beerkat in a PM that let me do this. https://imgur.com/gallery/5Qqzf

^^ Cheers, will do. I haven't actively aerated any of my brews, and this could be a reason that I'm getting this recurring issue. FWIW, I've just bottled it off and will see how it goes. Into tapking bottles, one for force carbing, and a couple for natural carbing.

Actually also, my brewing friend recommended I give a 'low carb enzyme' a try. He explained it as being able to break down some of the complex sugars into fermentable simple sugars. Any thoughts on this?

Does active fermenting yeast mean a different type (ie commercial not from the can?), or just that its been rehydrated and is 'active' (bubbling etc) again? Also, I'm going to do an identical brew once I'm done with this one using 'DANSTAR MUNICH Wheat Yeast', with the idea to test how well it...
