No, I think the term prat could not be more apt.

Most of the info is in his post mate. "The Transtherm model ‘Ermitage’ is a single temperature wine cabinet" Leads me to believe it is a "Transtherm" brand, and at a guess I'd say "model 'Ermitage' " is the model. I even went one step further and put these details into Google, and was able to...

Where are you located?

It doesn't maintain the bitterness ratio though, and even then that is not the whole picture. You dilute your wort (or reduce grain/hop component- same difference) and your beer is going to taste more watery, the hops character as well as the malt profile will be reduced also. Exactly what OP is...

Adding water will indeed drop the ABV% but will also dilute everything else as well, the body will be thinned, colour diluted, bitterness reduced. Do you use any brewing software? It might help to make your calcs easier to help retain the DSGA character you're after.

Mash higher (70c) to create less fermentable wort, not sure what yeast you are using but maybe switch to one that doesn't attenuate as well (something like WLP002), sub the crystal with some flaked barley. I'd cut back or lose the Vienna if it were me, the Rye will help combat the sweetness of...

Planning to catch up with family in Western Sydney at the same time, more a matter of timing it in with them.

Any update on when pickup might be available? A little bit of notice would be great too as I'll have to arrange time to drive down from Newcastle.

Bulk buy not going ahead due to KegKing being the Australian distributor. Guten will only deal with them.

Probably because it's not the first time a bulk buy has been run on this forum. That aside, if you search this forum the you'll see that the bulk buy is unlikely to go ahead with a retailer here having distribution rights.

DMS is driven off during boiling, the small amount that may be present in the condensation while cooling will not be detectable under a hop-laden IPA, you would be hard pressed to detect it in a pils or lager even (proving you've had a good boil for long enough). You're right it is to keep...

I think the advice to cover the kettle was meaning during the chilling process, not during the mash (and unsure what effect oxygen ingress during the mash has on hop aroma).. If you are using an immersion chiller, a lid with a slot cutout to accommodate the inlet/outlet will do a reasonable job-...

Depends what your equipment capabilities are, some things I've done that work well: -Split my batch into two x 10L (or so) batches at whirlpool (add my whirlpool hops, let it sit for ~ 20 mins), chill one lot and pitch the yeast, no chill the other lot and add to the fermenter the next morning...

I do a 90 min boil as standard so hops wouldn't really be an issue unless I FWH'd, the continual break development though is not something I had thought of... I was intending on a second whirlpool but if it would not generate any great improvement I think I'll just continue as normal then.

Thought occurred to me today during whirlpool... I use brewbrite at flameout/whirlpool and get a nice trub cone so I can leave the break behind before transfer, and it got me thinking: would there be any benefit to adding brewbrite at whirlpool after a ~30 min vigorous boil, let it sit for...

I like to use Pilsener for my lagers, pale ales and Belgians, Maris for stouts/ porters/ browns and most English ales.

No I didn't know about the Hunter United club, sounds like something I would be interested in though!
