What kind of beer do you like? Pale, hoppy, malty, dark......? Lager, ale, funky, hefe, wit...? What kind of process? Kit, extract, partial, full mash?

It depends a lot on your yeast and fermentation. I'm not familiar with zurich but where does it top out abv tolerance wise? The biggest beer I make starts around 1090 but is boosted post fermentation with candy sugar additions to hit around 11%abv. The beer it's emulating finishes at 1008, I...

Thing is - there are recommended ranges for a reason. There's no single digit that will be right for all palates, all beers. Get calcium levels right first (even that has a recommended range), adjust pH with acid or acid malt if necessary*, then focus on flavour salt. I've never found the need...

Do they all live together in a yurt?

Active starters, you want to pitch the lot. However mine are made from identical wort (kettle dregs left to settle, decanted off any trub*) and I not use a stirplate or ferment at high temperatures. @rude - I've only done with liquid. If I am making a big beer or a lager, I may do a 4-6 L...

Yeah na

Minimum is one step - saccharification. I love step mashing (not a brau owner - would be easier if I was) but unless you are using malt from ye olde days, using loads of adjunct or somehow using six row, do it for a good reason. You can acid rest (most sources suggest several hours is...

I’ll take my chances with the rats and the strange meth addict who runs down my street while looking inside an open shopping bag.

I’m with you labels. Active starters make a pronounced difference.

Plenty of Australian culture where I live. Every second car’s a ute, 20 year old grandmas and flake and chips on every corner, everyone’s a cobber and no shortage of Southern Cross tatts. I can buy pies, beer, watch a footy match on the weekend, eat a Cornetto and talk about smelling barbecues...

Not sure on the veracity of the article I read recently (although it seemed reasonably comprehensive) but it suggested success rate in testing their short and medium range missiles was pretty high. I think they need long range to hit Tas and New York though.

Hence the use of 'Australian' beforehand. And I see it used in many other contexts.

How do you think Australian Indigenous feel?

Odd question. My boss says 'have a paid day off - I take it (or get TIL). I don't go to the Hobart show or the Regatta either and when I was in Melbourne, I couldn't give two ***** about a silly horse race. Happy finding more important things to worry about, everyone.

Of course. Make booze not cheap; no cheap booze can be consumed. I live in Tas so ‘yeah na’ seems to have an actual meaning down here that’s earnest and beyond me but I’m guessing we’re mostly on the same page.

Tongerlo prior tripel - good, bready malt, supporting bitterness, hidden alc, good clarity. Loads of fruit, light spice. Good tripel. Head dissipates to nothing quickly but that is a minor criticism. Found for $15 a 4 pack at the discount joint at the front of my work. **** you minimium floor...

You must have drunk some of the tap water.
