Just the water volume.

Well you didn't have it after I had that beer! Complex enough for a single hop beer for sure.

I know they are all filtered, as I check online when I notice this flavour. Crystal clear in the glass for an APA/IPA is a bit of a give away too. At first I was trying to work that out too. I have ruled out hops, I am talking about beers with English hops, PoR, US hops etc. All filtered beers...

Mr Pedantic-pants :P I knew this would be a debatable topic...there are some beers I love though, and I enjoy finding them. I never really noticed this as being the off putting flavour in a lot of beers until I moved to AG. These first 3 AG brews have been real eye openers. I found the...

Bingo! That is what I feel. The loss of yeast/hop or a combo of, derived flavours, is throwing the balance somehow. It is so frustrating. Grabbing that Ballast Point IPA now...

When looking at homebrew filtering, I saw a recommendation to just use a 5 micron filter as the others remove too much stripping flavour. I think it is a hot debate topic, but your experience is something to note.

Damn clear though. Further research says CPA is chill-filtered. Having a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale now and I get a bit of the described flavour still. So hmm. Not sure what the exact cause is, but it is a trait I taste no matter the filter process it seems. Interesting, I remember reading...

I have noticed this for a while now. The majority of filtered beers I have tasted, have a distinct chemical like flavour. Most prominent in filtered pale ales. This Hawthorn Brewery Pale Ale is the latest. It is less noticeable in darker beers, but I get it in Coopers Sparkling and Pale Ale...

Grabbed this from Grain and Grape a few weeks ago. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/19476/88705/?ba=heygeebee I liked it, definitely got some spiciness. When are you getting some of this in Yob?

Nicely put, though I can tolerate Granny Smith's more than some other apples. That was my point. I can understand not wanting to go somewhere because of the music they play - lots of venues play music I do not like and that would be a big factor in me going back. One reason I never went out...

Quite a nice beer too...though I couldn't stomach more than a few glasses, very sweet.

True, but I am keen to see how the temp trigger goes. See if it works on the plastic. I assume it triggers after the wall gets to 100c, and from peoples reports the water in the HEX is not getting above 90c when mashing out. I wanted to keep the switch too so I can flick it on/off when changing...

Got most of my HERM-IT build done last night. 9 hour leak test revealed a leak. Will have to silicone the **** out of it tonight :) I found a 1 gallon Coleman water cooler for $25. Fits perfect, but I would place the element 1-2cm lower next time. The Herm coil still clears it, just. Element...

Only keg hopped for 1 day, no dry hop in the fermenter :( 1 week of Galaxy in a beer I bottled a while ago and even after 3 months it was grass city. Maybe it also the fact I am still working out a good sulphate/chloride ratio/ppm to make the hop flavour pop, without overdoing it. Starting in...

Got my order today. AU Cascade, Simcoe and Galaxy. Cheers for that. First impression of the AU Cascade, is it is subdued and a tad skunky compared to the US Cascade. Going to up my dry hop to 50gm and for 3-4 days. Simcoe I have never used, so will probably single hop with it. I think James...

I calculated $70-80 for a box with 4 kegs to Launceston, using Star Track.

Fair enough, that's the sort of answer I was looking for.

So just the price really? Maybe a preference for 3.2L over 6L too. Bottles are free if you know someone with a Tap King, or like the beer options offered. I know I am nada on both of those.

Great thread, but it has me asking myself " Why modify a Tap King when I could just buy a Tap a draft?" Seems you save a small amount on the Tap King but then have to spend time/money modding it anyway. Also hanging out for the "Tap it", tap and co2 regulator to fit on growlers. Kickstarter...

Got 40gms of Mosaic in my keg (Citra/Mosaic APA with wheat), since Friday night. When do you think I should pull them out? So far, quite different to Cascade/Amarilo/Galaxy IMO. Then again, 20% wheat is lending it's own flavour. Will have to try this again with a more classic APA grist.
