Any plans to send some up to Brisvegas Yob? Might I humbly suggest Hawthorne Super Cellars & Bowen Hills Cellarbrations...

I'm guessing the one from Brewers Choice doesn't come with the Connect controller (I believe the GF unit with the new contoller retails for $1,350?).

Thanks Manticle, not too worried, more curiosity than anything

Anyone know how to calculate the final ABV after bourbon has been added? ABV was 8.4% (OG 1.088, FG 1.024) before adding the bourbon (approx. 200-250ml) and oak cubes into 14L of RIS.

Let us know if Scratch is a go, will definitely check it out

So today's the day, going to transfer my RIS to secondary and add both the oak cubes & the bourbon and let it sit for another couple of weeks before bottling. My question is, does the FV need to be in the temp-controlled fridge while it's conditioning, or just out of direct sunlight in an area...

Thanks all for your responses so far. I ended up putting 30gm of oak (3 cubes) in a jar with 250ml of wild turkey. Took the lid off after 24 hours, colour is great & smells amazing! Will make a call on whether to add the bourbon with the cubes when the RIS finishes primary fermentation.

I've done a fair amount of reading with regard to soaking oak cubes in bourbon to use in secondary, but there seem to be a hundred different opinions/ways to do it, so hoping someone with some experience doing this might be able to answer a few questions. I have 15L of RIS (OG 1.088) fermenting...

What do you consider late hop additions? Anything 20mins or less? I ask as I am still trying to 'perfect' my no chill technique for IPA's, and cube hopping is something I want to try.

Very interested to see the results of your exbeeriment LRG

Guessing you're after a second hand one, but Cannon Hill Brewing sell them if you want a new one (no affiliation).

What timing, going to dry hop my S&W PA clone this evening, was leaning towards 60gm but 120gm it is! Is the difference between dry hopping in primary as opposed to secondary that noticeable Coodgee? And yes, 30gm of citra is wimpy AF

Was at a GF demo in Brisbane yesterday, Nick (GF rep) mentioned that future updates will be via the app (not the controller itself)

Unfortunaty I'm going to have to remove myself from the swap list, as it now appears the in-laws will be here from NZ that weekend. I was really looking forward to my first case swap & meeting some more experienced brewers (and tasting what look like some amazing beers), hopefully I can make...

Went there for a few pints before the Roar game a couple of weeks ago. Had some good beers on tap (Pirate Life Oatmeal Stout ) as well as their own, a few of which were pretty good. It's no Brewski, but I think a welcome additon to Caxton Street nonetheless.

Sounds good to me Meddo, I'll bring my swag. Will PM you my details shortly.

Sage advice Lagerfrenzy, I may have to try & fashion some chastity belts for both Meddo & myself ahead of the swap
