Mate add your Galaxy to the wort after its boiling. No good adding it to the mash.

What a coincidence, just sat down with my first pour of my belgium I did with a recultured Chimay yeast. It tastes pretty good, a little bit green still, but definately chimay characteristics. Was taken from a longneck of 2010 chimay blue. Took a few days for the starter to start, and it was a...

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT I jus got this from ebay, should do the trick this winter, although I haven't had problems with my fermenter getting too cold just yet.

There are recipies which add femernentables after fermentation has started. So there shouldn't be too many issues with what you plan to do. It's just not adding too much liquid to the wort and having a lot of weak beer. The other option is to take the first runnings like you said, most of the...

Problem you will have is your liquid volume when you mash is going to weaken the final volume. You can probably get most of the extract from this grain with about 10L of wort, you are still going to have a fairly weak beer when you combine the two. You might be better off doing this like a...

I wouldn't take any risk with this and declare it. Ring up before and check. Chances are it will go through unnoticed, but if they do scan it and see it, it will look suspect. They might work out what it is quite quickly and you'll be fine, BUT, worst possible scenario would involve you making...

I would have a feeling a 9l keg would look very obvious and suspicious in a bag on an x-ray. I wouldn't do this without alerting the fligh staff, unless you want your bag detonated in a field by a robot.

Some of the PET bottles melt with boiling liquid in them. So just test the container you want to use first with boiling water to make sure it doesn't shrivel up.

Yep I checked abv with refractor and hydro, came out at 5.5 while original was 4.6. Not a huge difference but the extra maltiness is tops. It's developed a honey/ toffee taste.

Yep do that too, and got those kegs from there :)

I'm in a 1 bedroom apartment, but luckily I have a large storage space, with power for a ferment fridge. It's a bit of a pain getting everything up from the store but I have a nice little trolly for that. I have 20 L bucket mash tun, 50L pot, 4 ring burner, and all other bits and pieces plus I...

Some excellent brews done by all, well done everyone. Wachenfeld, I absolutly loved your vanilla chocolate ale.

Worked fine for me

Damn, I've made plenty of pumpkin beers before, I absolutly love them. Shame I missed out.

Also keen to know this, Cheers Paxxy

Love it, you almost caused me to crack out my copy of inglorious bastards.

No worries, glad they are all good :) I just hope I don't accidentally drink it all before tuesday.

Great idea, I'm taking it to the darlo brewshare on Tuesday. Was going to call it Osama bin Lager, but Eispaxx has a much better ring to it. Cheers. Paxx

Seems like it. Dam seems like any idea you have had has already been thought of... I thought of it indepenently though, so can we start calling them paxxy-eisbocks?

I was experimenting with lagering in the freezer of my fermenting fridge while an ale brewed in the fridge. I placed the beer in 2 12L cubes in the freezer. I didn't have temperature control on the freezer section and accidentally partially froze the lagers. I removed the beers to place them in...
