my first attempt. got some rhizomes from a generous friend on the forum. Cluster and Victoria. put them into 52 litre pots with fully enriched potting mix. need to build a trellis like thing now.. will post photos as soon as i figure out how

Praise the lord..... And now, my homebrewing life is evolving as we speak. Now I understand why the "hopback" beer served at the pub was so unique. Would it likely have been served thru a similar system?

I'm unfamiliar with the "Randall"method....

Thanks. For me, this is my first time using Belgian yeast. Its a big beer... 1.068 now down to 1.005. Not huge but the biggest I've brewed yet. I used the Mangrove Jacks Belgian yeast (two packets). It cruised at 18c for three weeks in the primary, then cold crashed for eight days. Definitely...

Thanks for all the responses. I was actually under the impression that Belgians should be at regular volumes... Not as much as 4! But I am inexperienced. I'm bottling, at 2.3 volumes of co2..... But I think this topic has more to be explored.

Hey there brewnuts, I've been wondering about the possible pros and cons of bottling vs kegging in regards to specific styles. For example: i have a Belgian IPA (possibly Imperial :P ) that needs to be either bottled or kegged. I could use my regular crown seal bottles, but i have been...

-All pale malts -Simcoe, Centennial, Citra (even proportions) -US05 That's from my "campfire"

That's the best attitude mate

I sent mine in one of those wine boxes. They're really sturdy. Will the results of the judging be posted on the compmaster just like any other competition? Is there only one winner due to all entries falling under the same category?

Sorry I don't know anything about any bottling yeast... But I've heard that US05 is a good option for the HH clone. Also, try using only pale malts next time. Get rid of the crystal; it's making it too dark.

Obviously I've got more to learn :)

From my experience if no fining has been done to the beer I can taste a slightly "thicker" overall mouthfeel. Even if the beer was cold crashed before bottling. I tasted a big difference in my very dark Porter, which was too dark to see anything at all floating in there. And it had been treated...

Sounds like youre just looking for an excuse to get extra bottles of my potentially award-winning homebrew, Mr No-Tip. :wink:

Sounds good enough, thanks donske

hi, im just wondering (since this is my first time shipping a bottle) what is the best/most recommended method of posting a glass bottle of potential award-winning homebrew?? i would wrap her in four blankets if i could but the kids would be cold at night!! :unsure:

just use gelatin. natural, unsweetened. works like a charm. google it if youre not sure how to use it. PS there's a decent tutorial on the forum somewhere...

Maybe as an HLT/boil kettle... What's a good thickness then?

Yea the ad says 70 ltrs then it says 56 again... Is 4mm base thick enough?? This just doesn't seem right.... why so cheap?!!

There ya go Yob. Another S04 story. Although I dare say, on my porter it did a fair job.

I bottled it all. I think the strange smell was probably Co2
