me too. Lucky!

Ok, did a bit of investigation on the keg before coming back from back. Using torch light to the best I can, I can see a few tiny dints on the internal surface. It also looks like black particles stick on the surface, similar to the welding particles but can't tell if it is rusty or not. The...

Thanks Labels. I will drop it to 12C, and add gelatine. Do I still need to hold it at 3C for 3 days, before bringing it to zero or -2C?

Labels, I am trying your method for my Boh Pils. Started at 14C (OG1050, mashed at 66C) 14C - 5 days 17C - 1 days (gravity drops to 1010) 20C - 13 days (today) - Checking this morning, there are still some bubbles on the surface, tiny one and a few 1cm bubbles. Can see the bubble floats from...

I dumped the perc that I used for soaking the keg before I left for work this morning. Found some tiny shiny stuff coming out of the keg. Will find out more when I return tonight. How do I know if it has corrosion issue?

Good to hear that. I took a punt last weekend, did a cube hopping with Saaz and Motueka (total 40g) on Boh Pils in 23L batch. It is fermenting now.

Cool, please let me know the result when you tasted it.

If you have the 15 min addition before cubing, does it affect the favour?

Thanks Rocker. I will give your recipe a go for my next Bo Pils or might do Pils, caramunich III (for colour) & acid malt if I can't find black malt in my grain store. Same hops. Your hop addition 80 and 15 min, are they based on brewing software or actual (i.e. cube)?

Yes, you are right Labels. There is a lot of info available but not sure what should I use, so better to ask first before I follow blindly. I will most likely doing a single infusion mash (ok, 66C). Do I need a small percentage of specialty or base malts other than Pilsner malt for different...

Plan to brew more lager this year. So I am after several classic grain and hop bills for Bohemian Pils, Munich Helles and German Pils. If anyone can help or please let me know if this is already available somewhere in the forum. Also, how to get that smooth grainy sweet favour in the...

It would be good. Found a Saaz hop experiment on Brulosophy: http://brulosophy.com/2016/08/04/the-hop-chronicles-czech-saaz/

I found something about dry hop with Saaz on the HomeBrewTalk website. No no for dry hop. Ok with flame out addition but with small quantity like 28g for standard batch.

Labels, you mentioned Saaz is not suitable for late hopping. I do no chill, does it work as a cube hop (say at 80C in the cube)? Basically, my 15 min in beersmith will be used as 0 min whirlpool addition, 0 min addition in beersmith will be used as cube hop.

I should stock 2001 and 2000 if they are still available.

Labels, Why crash chill back to 12C, then 1C per day? Can I slow chill from 20C to 3C in 1C per day interval?

Interesting information about the 3C. Will take note of that. I believe the Wyeast 2042 - Danish Lager yeast is still available, I can still get them in my local home brew shop. I have a small bottle in my yeast bank. Thanks for the tips. Will pm you If I head into trouble again or any...

Thanks Labels. I did something similar to what you have done, except I pitched cold at 9C with 2.5L starter (two steps, 1L and then 2.5L at 1.040 each starter gravity, decant and pitch) with liquid yeast strain. Then, ferment at the same temp for a few weeks until the gravity stable. I suspect...

Labels, I get acetaldehyde sometimes. -what kind of yeasts you used for your lager styles? - How long you oxygenated? - What is your pitching rate in million cell / ml / degree Plato?

Melbourne Brewers just checked the entries collected, apparently there are about 33 missing entries. The missing entries need to be in by end of next weekend. Please pm me or Yob if you have not done it.
