    Hop plant from Bunnings

    I was watering at least once a day, mostly twice. I had tomatoes and other herbs growing near it so was easy to attend to. I planted mine in the ground as soon as I got it too, first season it really took off. It copped sun all day until about 5-6pm. By one runner do you mean a bine? Or you...

    Hop plant from Bunnings

    sorry to resurrect a thread but I got one of these suckers 2 summers ago. The first year had plenty of flowers, but this was before I was into to brewing so I gave them off to a friend. Last summer it went crazy and I made a couple of really tasty brews out of them. I've recently moved though so...

    Prickly Moses Spotted Ale clone

    The flaked version you chuck in with your mash. The flaked versions are more expensive though. For me Corn: I only use polenta now. It is cheaper and I reckon it gives a smoother taste to the brew. It is also easy to use as corn starch gelatinization occurs at mash temps. You can pre cook it as...

    Domestic Violence

    From personal experince, Ice can turn a peace loving human into an anxious explosive rage monger. The idea that it is associated with DV is ludicrous, because it is a far different danger and problem that we ALL face. No discrimination for meth related destruction. What it is good at achieving...

    0 minute hops

    I have a SMaSH Kolsch days away from bottling. The only hop additions were at flame out. Using an immersion chiller, at 95c for 15 minutes, 100g of Sylva. At 60c for 15 minutes 100g Sylva. During the 15 minute steeps I keep a whirlpool going with my stirrer. The airlock smelt like juicy...

    IPA recipe help

    I've had great results in flame out additions, dumping hops in at 95c and 60c steeping for 15min at each interval. It takes a bit of stirring to break the hops apart at 60c but well worth it. I try to maintain a whirlpool during these steeps. Just read you have a plate chiller though, do you...

I still had Galaxy and Mosaic left over from one of my other...

    Hop Thief 7 Clone

    I've brewed twice using galaxy as a bittering. Once as FWH and once at 60 min. The FWH gave a smooth bitterness and the 60 min addition was a little more aggressive but I wouldn't say harsh. Columbus is a good example of a harsh bittering hop IMO. I have found the harshness from galaxy comes...

    Topaz hops

    Sorry I assumed everyone in Australia smokes weed. I'll make it 60g for 20L of brew. All up for the entire brew that makes 10.5g/L of topaz. Should definitely be able to taste what it is about.

    Topaz hops

    Updated my recipe for the Topaz CBA, as I drifted from my original plan on brew day. Apparent calculations now sit at 171IBUs. I havent brewed anything even half of that. Went to check on the brew before and was blasted with a super sweet fruity aroma, big difference to the usual yeasty farts Im...
