Good work. Mad skills! You made an entire mill! Compared to me who spent 30mins swearing while cutting a hole in a bucket to make a hopper.

Be glad it wasnt winter and you had a heat belt in there. I had the same thing happen and i cooked a schwartzbier.

Id buy some. Never done a mead though. ...how much would i need.

Whats your boiler going to look like?

Ah. Yes that is a good point, however indidnt mention the last time i dry hopped with my own hops it yielded a very herbal beer. Im guessong my drying wasnt adequate. Hence why a slow pass through at room temp might work?

I just harvested a heap of good looking hops from a bine i had forgotten about. Freezer is full and i have no time to brew this week. So I was thinking of loading a 9Litre corny with the hops (and a screen or filter or bag of some sort) and pushing an american brown i have in the fermenter...

Forgot about this thread. Just checked the spreadsheet. Thanks heaps yob for organising this mate! Happy with what i have put down but was thinking i could go another 4 or 5 litre..... Are the numbers set in stone yet?

Hops will drop out with time. Leave the beer 6 months and it might be more to your liking. If not keep some sparkling water on hand and dilute it a bit. Should get rid of the extra unwanted flavour.

Could i clarify where the hops came from? Some of the dodgier lhbs dont refrigerate.

Yeah i was thinking the same. You are gonna make the beer stale super quick by banging bottles into kegs. Most of my bad beer issues are resolved with adding water or sparkling water, or blending another beer. The easiest way is in the glass.

Dude i might have one available in a few weeks. Fits a cube or the bunnings blue round containers or the standard home brew shop fermenters (but without the airlock.....you would have to be a blow off tube user....or like me a fellow glad wrap enthusiast). Depends on how much of a hurry you are...

Is the beer needed for an event? Or are you just getting thirsty? I suppose either qualifies as an emergency.

☺☺☺☺☺ Thanks Nick!

Yep. But im yet to recieve a response. I was probably too slow again. 16minutes after the post is usually too long for bargains around here.

They look great. So keen. So with extra kegs, do they come with a lid/top for storing and/or priming beer without the head unit attatched?

Chuck it all in together and make 500litres of a dark IPA. EDIT: Sorry that wasnt very helpfull. I would go simple so you can learn what each ingredient does. Do a smash, then add some crystal and or wheat to the next brew. Depends on what you want to drink.

4 pines isnt a nitro stout, so you're good!

Thats the one!

I did that a few times, plus I broke a few hydros because the plug wasn't in the bottom and stupid gravity sucked them onto the garage floor. Got a schmick thick plastic test tube thingy from the brew shop and it handles the heat fine.

Brew balls? Yep, Ive got a heavy, cracked 5kg sack thats almost 3 weeks old. Have to blow it this weekend or my suger babys are going to go stale. Stupid life gets in the way!
