Thanks I've pitched this yeast today. I used 5kg pale ale malt and 500g Munich, bittered with 14g of Herkules, then 20g of both Saaz and Vic Secret at 10 minutes and 30 g of both at flame out. I collected 24L @ 1.057 (using a Braumeister 20) I pitched at 23°C and have let the fermentation...

I thought I'd ask you guys about a lager yeast that is produced in Queensland, Australia (I'm un the UK) which I bought 500g of very cheaply at a brewing festival some months ago. Looking around the web I've found several different datasheets which give totally different fermentation temperature...

Nope just download some free software like brewmate and stick the efficiency to about 65% as you will probably hit between that and 70% on a 90 minute mash. Then plug your grain and hops into the software. You'll get a handle on how your particular equipment performs by trial and error and can...

Thanks for the warm welcome, plenty for me to be going on with there :D LOL, not even if I turn up unannounced in a boat :P

I'm an all grain brewer from the UK and recently came across Vic Secret hops which impressed me a lot. They are the 1st Aussie hop that I've used and it lead me to wonder about Australian craft beer so I tought I would come to the source and see how/what you guys brew. Generally I do British...
