MJ, good and bad news good - I think I can account for the missing RIS glass bad - I think its about 3 turns away from Cams house. Something glassy flew off the back of the ute on the way home........... my bad Cam, your dad was a champ, after a few Tooths Pale's he would tell you his life...

From memory it calced up at 80 or 90 IBU using Beersmith WP addition @ 50% utilisation for 20 minutes. It is a hoppy amber afterall! Will need to re check OG when pitching as there was some variability in the numbers Russ was getting. My notes have pre boil 1.054 and post boil 1.052 which is...

yeah, even at the planned 1.060 it was always going to be a big hop! Plan to let it mellow in the keg for 6 months and bring to the winter swap if it's not crazy bitter.

Any thoughts at throwing WLP022 Essex Ale Yeast at this cube? I went for 160g homegrown cascade and 120g homegrown Chinook in my cube and keen to try this yeast out.

Massive thanks to Cam and parentals, what a great spot to spend a couple of days drinking a huge variety of brews and punch out 600 odd litres as well. Great work Rusty as head brewer and all the food providers, just amazing! The fire in a bush setting drinking some tasty new and old beers Sat...

Xmas Swap Gear

I'll throw in some 20-25mm hole saws to bring if you like.

Awesome thread. A working holiday in South Lake Tahoe while at uni many years ago is what started my love of craft beer. Travelled to many of these same places and found out how good beer could be! Home brewed ever since.

I concur

You're welcome to use it once operational MJ! I sure as **** don't need that much wort! I missed your older post re barrel program, have 220L barrel I need to fill, just trying to sort out a big *** fermenter so I can fill it with RIS on one hit!

Original plan was heat belt only(it's 3kw) to maintain and possibly ramp as it seemed like a good idea at the time. The HX was a last minute addition so I had something to play with in the PLC otherwise the automation was very simple. Not sure what I will actually use, initially will try the HX...

Super ****!ng impressed with how this has turned out! pretty much exactly as I envisaged it from day 1. Budget constraints have slowed progress unfortunately, bad time of year and already over what I forecast to spend so now looking like a Jan finish hopefully. Since last update I have insulated...

Anyone ordered one of these lately? I had a look on their site to add to the new MM mill from the BB but site says no stock. Looking for a sensing version w/o the shaft.

Happy to help out with food or whatever on the sat. Let me know what you need.

I use them at work all the time and some are on process lines at up to 6Bar. Check out the attached calculator for some estimates: http://www.geordi.com.au/Pressure%20Calc.htm I have a Geordi one on the bottom of my conical and have ran it up to 1.5Bar without issues.

Is anyone dry hopping with a few points to go? I have been lately with the theory the yeasties will have time to take up any oxygen that enters the fermenter after de pressurising and opening the lid to add the hops.

Swappers. 1. Idzy 2. Mardoo - Treacle Stout - Drink now or later. Now, the treacle is interesting with the hops. Later, all will balance out. 3. Technobabble66 - Rezza Bitter (WLP-059) 4.6%, drink now, but maybe leave an extra week. 4. DJ_L3thAL - Macleod Bitter (WLP059) 4.8%, drink now. 5. JB...

As with GP I have been flat out fermenting wort for my old mans 60th this weekend so it's looking increasingly un likely I will get a chance to enter a brew in this. There is a slight chance I can put one down next Thursday and do a super fast ferment before swap day but if there are any...
