Mmmm, Mushroom Lager. Imagine entering that into a competition. Honestly Cosmo, just post your gravity reading here, and someone can tell you pretty much straight away if it's fermenting or not. I have put down ciders in the past with no airlock bubbling, no foam on top, nor any other sign...

Cool. You can see why I asked though.

Penny Pinching for a few cents and using starter wort in a brew is crazy. Just tip it out once your yeast has multiplied ! I love the idea of reserving leftovers for yeast starters in future brews, but stuffed if Im going to introduce a random flavour into my next beer by including the spent...

for what purpose are you adding golden syrup - to add to the gravity or to add a complexity to the flavour of the final beer ? I ask this question out of genuine interest because I thought / read that if you want to use such adjuncts for the purpose of enjoying the flavour, including stuff like...

Brewers in the Sydney Metro area looking for brand new cubes can also check out www.peopleinplastic.com.au . They are in Enfield. I scored some 20 litre cubes (actually they are more like 23 litres after swelling) for around ten dollars each.

Im interested in the outcome of your experimentation, its been something I have been meaning to do for ages. Hope you let whatever arguements pass, and post back with your results. Dont worry about it, theyre just words on the internet. Forums are always full of conflicting personalities. And...

Are you aware of the purpose of a tempmate-style controller as opposed to a heater?

Hi Warra48 - why do you say limit the choc to 100 grams ? I was researching a few recipes for one I did two days ago, and ended up using 250 of choc and 250 of brown, on a base of ale malt. At the time it didnt seem over the top, based on other recipes I read. If its burnt tannin taste thats...

Put them in the sun for a few days.

To leave off from this silly argument for a moment Can someone comment on why flaked rice is preferred on this forum over plain old edible rice from the supermarket, suck as Zwickle mentions. I'm planning on making a light-bodied Aussie ale driven by POR as a house beer that can be repeated...

Going to buck the system and say that my taps have never been pulled apart. They do get a good napisan soak after each ferment though, and no infections to date that relate to dirty taps.

Does anyone have a link to water profiles for each state ? After re-reading John Palmer's guide, he claims that you can only really brew within limited style ranges with any given regional profile. Is this slightly overexaggerated - I really would rather focus on other aspects of brewing for the...

Sorry mate, my bad. I misread your post, thinking you have normal dry malt. Disregard what I said. Those ingredienst are fine, at least the best you can achieve doing a wheat beer with an extract brew. Apologies for confusing you.

yes the can would be liquid - but it still wont be 100% wheat.

Having just moved from Partials to AG myself, using an electric urn + BIAB + no-Chill, and having just done my third AG today, I have to say that it's actually much easier, less messy, around the same time, and less clean up. It's such a breeze. Dont know where you are at with your brewing right...

<B>What's Korean for fecking wankers?</B> Shibbal Tatari On another note, It appears that the Chinese term for male masterbation is wudayi, which translates to 'five beating one'

190 grams sounds like a hell of a lot for your batch size

I always worked on the theory that priming calculations were worked out using the fermentation temperature.

Bumping this for any advice? If this is a silly question, forgive me, becuase I really dont know if the placement of an analogue thermo is going to matter or not, but suspect it might. The reason for this question is because I dont really want to drill another hole in my urn. I plan to take the...

Boris, keep in mind that pre prepared wheat malt, liquid or dry, isnt 100% wheat, it is a combination of wheat and barley, 50/50 I think. if you wanted a more true to style weizen you could use two cans of the brewcraft and forget about the LME. With that ingredients list of yours that would...
