    Silicone hose in the compost bin

    Aldi specials

    That paulaner stuff looks inviting. Don't you just get the feeling that by the time one gets there it'll all be gone. Bruce McAveney.

    Emergency beer cooling

    Have you done this Feldon? I love **** to do with fire, petrol, beer and matches. The potential for things to get out of control is limitless.

    Emergency beer cooling

    Have used a rag soaked in petrol, wrapped around a big bottle and hung out the car window. Can't drink warm piss in the desert when it's 40plus. Works well, stinks a bit though and don't smoke until the bottles are cool and the rags are dry and secure. On second thoughts just don't do it.

    US05 vs S-04

    I was curious about S-04 after reading posts about it and having not used it since kit-daze. On the 5/9 I brewed 21 lts of 1.040 using golden promise, TF brown and Simp's med crystal. Pitched 1 sachet of S-04 rehydrated into 20 deg. Went off. Come 7/9 the air-lock stopped ( It's my fermenter...

    What did you buy while pissed last night?

    Ditto. I wish they made men's clothes that had a "Beer Goitre" sizing. The chinese buggers have no idea. But the Hawiians are on the money.

    East Kent Goldings, the quiet achiever, getting the job done. Like an English rose, subtle and not crass or over-stated.

    Brisbane growler refills

    "Growler" was once a euphemism for a ****** down here in 70's Melbourne. Will they fill my growler? Goodness me. I'd like to see a swing-top.

    Pitching Dry Yeasts

    100 ml of holy water per sachet in a zippy sandwich-bag, shoved in me jocks under me cassock is enough to get the little beggars going. Embarrassing during mass if the zippy gives way. I then blame Mrs Doyles cooking.

    Pitching Dry Yeasts

    The Vatican insists all dry yeast be rehydrated in holy water. 2 packets too be sure too be sure. It's the attempuration (?) that's the pain in the arse. Sprinkle works with a few hail marys.

    How soon should I see a Krausen?

    I used a sachet of US-05 that was 18 months out of date. Rehydrated and pitched it fired up beautifully. Had plan B but was curious as to its viability. I'm betting by now it's cooking. We panic often for nothing. Just ask my shrink.

    Growing rhizomes for beer money

    How far north can you successfully grow hops? I would of thought that fungal diseases would **** them over without drenching them with chemical?

    This is probably going to sound stupid, but hear me out...

    Where's Tim-t? We need his bouyant enthusiasm in these matters of fermentable alternatives. Maybe he poisoned himself?
