    Temperature For Pitching Yeast

    Agree, but it can finish up quite dry. I kegged mine last week and it finished up below 1.000. The beauty of back sweetening is you dont have to play a guessing game with sweetness. If you want it sweeter (personally I dont, I like it dry and refreshing) you can get the ratios right in a...

    Mclaren Vale Ipa - Wow

    It was quite possibly the EXP (Experimental) Stout they did, which had a fair degree of hoppiness to it. Certainly wasn't to-style. Great beer.

    Temperature For Pitching Yeast

    what you might want to try next time is a couple of cans of coopers ginger beer extract, you can make a surprisingly good ginger beer using this, especially if you add some grated ginger, buderim ginger refresher, chilli and some lemon or lime zest and juice. I only use 1 can and 1KG of...

    Mclaren Vale Ipa - Wow

    true, dont see the appeal of Vale Ale or the Dark Ale, its nothing special. The EXP Stout/Porter thing they did was pretty awesome though and the EXP Wheat Beer wasnt too shabby either, if only they'd have the balls to go full time with those beers rather than just doing small experimental batches.

    Mclaren Vale Ipa - Wow

    bottle is quite different to the keg, I've found some bottles of it to be very underwhelming and I'm pretty damned close to the source. I quite like the hop combination so use it in my house Pale Ale. Not trying to clone it per-se, but I do play around with the additions everytime I brew it...

    Bugger

    I used the exact same method for about a year of homebrewing. roughly 20 batches. Then I got an infection. Now I sterilise with phos acid. Have I had an infection since?(another year, another 20 or so batches) The answer would be no. Anecdotal evidence, but I'm pretty sure the effects of...

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    Just noticed I made a mistake in my original list of CBD restaurants......if you are in the mood for Thai, skip Star of Siam and go to Nu Thai. Star of Siam is reasonable and gets a good crowd but Nu Thai is a bit more authentic.

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    Most of the Nth Adelaide restaurants are on O'Connel St, which isnt far, but not exactly walking distance. The Lion is a good option for food and perhaps a drink, though dont get your hopes up beer-wise. The restaurant is actually pretty good food as is the front bar. If you were to go to The...

    I've eaten at Zucca, great food, pretty exxy though. Most expensive bottle of water I've ever purchased I think! Service could have been better too.

    Well pretty much anywhere on Gouger is going to be good. Look up some of restraunts I list and see what fits within your price range Gouger St. Celsius (degustations only on Saturday $ has won chef of the year and contempory restaurant of the year) Star of Siam - Thai Mapo - Vietnamese...

    Craft Breweries & Pubs Around Adelaide

    Last time I was there I fell asleep on a comfy couch, so my craft beer rating of the place probably cant be trusted. In Canada they tried to put a slice of Orange in my hefe...I'm not sure which is worse.

    ...oh and if you want restaurant recommendations, I eat out at least once a month, so have a pretty good list of some very high quality establishments. Some pricey, some average, all amazingly good food though.

    Bars The Wheaty is probably the best pub in Adelaide for craft beer - a short tram ride from the CBD. Massive turnover of craft beer, this is THE PLACE to go for your craft beer fix. Whatever day you go there, you can be guaranteed there will be a new beer on tap -...

    Gas Bottle Fell Over

    Reg cage is handy too - think I'll get one when I replace the gauge I smashed....though the gauge is still working on mine for now and its only the bottle side anyway. $26 - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Wire-Protector-...=item1e71451f96

    Beersmith App For Android And Ios

    It's a bit 'meh' really. BrewAide (free) integrates very nicely with dropbox (free with 5GB). Simply export your recipe files to your dropbox folder and voila - you have your recipes on your phone with all the same features and functionality as BS Lite only with more storage. What I find...

    Craftbrewer Hoax!

    Under the impression customer info is stored within Plesk when utilising the online store features, not a seperate database? It all depends on the manner in which the site was deployed...using Plesk Web Precense Builder or not. I imagine it was all built using Plesk tools as the host now shows...

    Craftbrewer Hoax!

    The passwords are actually only encrypted in Plesk v11 and even then it is very poorly done - if you have access to the server, you have access to the encryption key, which means you can easily decrypt the passwords. The other method employed by Plesk v11 is a hashed password....but once again...

    Craftbrewer Hoax!

    Yeah sure if you gave them those details via the phishing link....but I am talking specifically about the access they have to the craftbrewer.com.au database, which they very well may have access to considering they were able to modify the front page of the site. If they can modify a site page...

    Europe In Winter

    all my pics were taken with a 18-55 kit lens, but yeah I do wish I had my new 1.8 35mm (50mm focal length on DX body) prime lens with me as that is perfect for low light and street photography. Your hotel in Rome is nowhere near where I stayed, so my suggestions for food are pretty much...
