It was wrongly assumed that this forum had many members that are serious CRAFT brewers at home, and not just crafty hobby homebrewers. My mistake.

Sure sure, whatever you say. While we're trying to tarnish my reality even more, you forgot this http://www.knowledgerush.com/wiki_image/c/c2/Mack_knife.JPG

Here we go. So on what basis are you suggesting astringency, is it personal experience ? Or just something you read somewhere and decided it would be your very own fun fact to regurgitate at will? Remember, I don't advocate a coffee-grinder crack, for other reasons than yours, but the person...

That packing is far too erect to represent some of the droopy lot here, Ill bet. Look and listen to yourselves, you one-eyed pack wolves. How on earth is it acceptable practice for an established member to send a new member a 600 word outline of why another contributor's posts should be seen...

WRONG ! I am not built like you blokes. I am a lady. Well, very vague terminology, but i dont have one of those playthings of my own to love and to stroke like you do, Manticle. I came here to meet like-minded males but very quickly determined that there are so many self-righteous assholes...

It's so easy to wind you clowns up.

Haven't I, Manticle ? Haven't I ?

+1 invest in a no rinse sanitiser such as starsan or iodofor. For around $35 it effectively buys you a thousand litres of sanitising-strength solution.

That's what you get for taking sides, bcp. A kick in the goolies. :) The point is, if we distance ourselves from all the book-weary bullshit that the 'experts' insist on rattling off every time a member dares buck conventional 'wisdom' (rolls eyes), is that I believe that I could do a 'crush'...

Sure, and join the ranks of those brewers who insist that there's only one way to skin a cat.

<br /><br /><br /> I'm glad you commented, it's certainly given me some much-required guidance, and I'm much richer for experiencing your words. I LOL'd that it took so long for anyone to pick up on the little test I crafted into the Op about wheat. Bravo as usual to MHB for his...

That's the beauty of a paranoid mind, hey bum? Personalities bounce all over the shop. You are drifting off-topic.

Is the word you're looking for "Corona"? Poor you, but at least your dominant arm would be muscley. (sp?) Moving right along... There is no way I would ever do a BIAB with 5kg of dust. Just to be clear, OK bruddah?

Behold the power. http://www.brevilleusa.com/media/catalog/p...l550xl-zoom.jpg

<br /><br /><br /> Whoa up there, cowboy. I only shared my observations for the purpose of expressing another point of view in an otherwise barren, book/net -smart assumption based majority mindset. Somewhere in my rant I suggested that the best-scenario crush ability of this megablendmachine...

Sure, belittle the first-hand experience if you must. That is, MY first-hand experience, with the grey-hat open observation of how it performs. I am not suggesting that a big, manly blender will supercede a home-mill setup, but with the right understanding of the devices capabilities in...

NickJD has previously championed the use of a coffee-grinder to prepare grains for a BIAB mash. While I have never been entirely comfortable with the idea of five kg's of dust, inclusive of husk powder, there has been occasion where I have whipped up some grain with this method. But let's...

That reminds me, earlier in the week i was at the bottleshop, and a guy behind me was carrying a carton of resches to the counter. Simultaneous to this moment, but unrelated to him or me,one staff member asked another "where are the Tooheys cartons in the coolroom", Mr Reshes pipes up and says...

How much faith can be put in post-ferment measurements with a refractometer ? While there are correction calculations, the device isn't any longer measuring within it's purpose-built range. Has anyone done the calcs and cross checked against a hydro to determine its worth as the only tool to...

Do you think Crown's introduction of an exposed element urn is in response to increased interest from the BIAB crowd, and Crown's observations that Birko are the preferred urn because of the set-up? It's pretty clear if you look at this website from an outside viewpoint, that BIAB is fast...
