Wow, a spelling lame from bum, who would have seen that coming?

Dear Ms. Gillard, Please extradite kario to some other country like Uganda, so he can SPAM their forums\Villages\Humpys with the copy and pasted emails he receives, containing the complete and utter bollocks from his SPAM spreading friends who should also be tracked down and extradited to a...

Yeah I did consider a double dry hop, and If I was able to crack open my fermenter lid, I probably would, but I can't risk the chance of infection on this one. Stuffing around with kegs and pushing from one to another. I think the difference also is this: A lot of people dry hop into a 18c-22c...

Good thing I'm not asking you :P you can stick K&K up your cloacae. Will be splitting the Mash to 4kg each to make sure my efficiency stays where I want it. Plan to over-sparge a bit and boil longer. Have revised the hop additions though after speaking to some of our best brewers (they know...

I'll start a new thread when I brew it if people are interested

For sure. Have PM'd Doom about it all, he's replied but haven't properly read it yet. Efficiency drops, really large losses to hops etc is all new stuff to me. Having never done something with such a big OG and because I don't use BS properly enough to allow for the changes, i'm kinda doing it...

Yep, also had the wrong AA levels in there. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Batch Size: 20.00 L Boil Size: 29.46 L Estimated OG: 1.095 SG Estimated Color: 14.3 EBC Estimated IBU: 615.1 IBU Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.0 % Boil Time: 90 Minutes Ingredients...

Nah, my hop screen wouldn't be able to cope with that amount of loose pellets and there's no way it would get through the plate chiller. So it'll have to go into stockings anyway. May as well squeeze them a bit to recover. I'm thinking of 2x mash of 4kg each to push my efficiency up then if i...

Mine is only a Lightly hopped one. I'm Pretty sure Doomed did a 3kg Brew a while back. Nevertheless, It will be babied like no other....

Yeah, I reckon I'll be over Amarillo by the time I get to the bottom of the keg. Might bottle half of it though and put it away for a few months to settle.

yeah, I'm figuring making up stockings of 150g each added each minute for 10 minutes. only because adding 1.5kg in one hit will kill the boil. Why stockings? because i can squeeze them out and not lose 7L of wort to hops. might need some rubber gloves for that though. Walking out with 5 pairs...

@black_labb Had no infections when NC'ing, fermenter wasn't opened. Not saying you can't make a drinkable beer, I'm drinking it. But K&K Vs AG?, First hand, AG hands down. We'll see how the All extract stands up. Keep in mind, this is MY K&K Vs MY AG. @Tropical_Brews No, not brew snobery...

Stop it you guys! I'm being serious! I wouldn't brew another K&K. EVER

Can you get them in a tin? :P Meh, if all I did was turn out consistent and amazing beers, brewing would be boring. I'm happy to have some infections in between my consistently amazing beers to keep me on my toes. :ph34r: Pretty confident i'm on top of it. a new ferment area, new fridge...

What Are you wearing?

OK, First Some History: so way back last year I had a bout of infected beers. After checking my sanitation process and troubleshooting the issue, the only rational explanation was airbourne infection, primarily during the dry hop after fermentation had begun. So, I needed a closed system, or...

maybe some fava beans and a bottle of chianti?

mmmm, so hot right now! what was that last bit, hard to hear you.

Get right up close and whisper.
