Typical for Lagers to give off an eggy smell. Often described as an egg fart smell. The reason your kit yeast didn't smell like that its likely it wasn't a proper lager yeast. Maybe an Ale yeast or hybrid Ale/lager yeast. Nothing significant to Safale but more to do with all lagers as far as I...

I guess some people should feel blessed, or cursed to see the stupidity rather than be one of the stupid? Ignorance has bliss etc 🤨 with much confusion in a massive subdued population. It kills me to see the local boat ramps (cams) showing the empty car park and I cant even go fishing. There is...

Questions I think is what was your pitch rate? S-04 can vary from vigorous, to slugish and under attenuation. Using it myself I have never got to its highest attenuation by the specs. It is a nice yeast, I'm friendly with it and I always like to have packs of it in the fridge.

Picked up my order today so very happy me..🙂 Thank you all staff involved especially face to face. Questionably legal at the moment etc....:rolleyes:

Hey Kyle. I haven't received my invoice. That's why I am a little worried. You know my face, and I'm good for it but cant feel comfortable until I've payed up square then can pick it up etc. I appreciate bulk buys have technicalities I dont want to be that technical snag but were did my invoice...

@goatchop41 You got it already? Vic? I haven't got the invoice yet but eager to pay it and grab my stuff.

Fill this order only by the email addressed. Whatever happens this is good malt. I also want my new three roller grain miller! Make it happen home brewers.

So terrible jokes. Please continue In the conservative sense or not! Try not to indulge on toilet paper. It goes far beyond that now. :eek:

All good. I feel lucky I got in today with delayed controlled entry with mandatory metho sraying hands prior to entry when your dealing with newbs and their questions haha.That newb before me spent twice as much as I did but I will make 5 times as much beer with the Voyager Malt and bits that I...

1 can Draught, or Pale, or any others. 1 kg Dextrose Good sanitation and a good healthy yeast pitch being the most important thing. The packet yeast is good but not enough. Get it up in a starter as small as 250ml to 500ml. (Good sanitation etc) pitch when it is frothy. Then the world is your...

@kegking I hope your watching. Otherwise I may check in tomorrow and ask the hard question. I say good bet to buy the crate or whatever needed to fill this order. I'd consider it sold but I am nobody, just watching current events etc.

So, here we are. How are your grains supplies? I haven't checked in there lately and expect the same as everywhere? I will happily double my order. If everyone else could want to then the order should get filled really quickly. What say you all?

You can get away with this (lazy practice) once, twice, depends how much you may detect the off flavors of dead yeast matter. I have done this lazy practice reluctantly but it is handy in a lazy sense. Also careful technical process The only way is step up in gravity for second brew option...

@JB you were correct in that latest name of the next swap brew (in 30 days!) No matter what style it is its going to be named the Corona Brew. Or the Covit 19 whatever but that's harder to say doesn't roll off the tongue as well. So even if its a Russian Imperial Stout. Inevitably its still...

I used to make one in my extract kit days. It was excellent when balanced right. Not just my own opinion but other people liked it a lot too. The kit ingredients can just be a guide for the style and balance. I tried to adapt it to an all grain beer but didn't turn out as good as the kit & kilo...

I can concur. Its all good. Build a bridge? Its all good. and the beers, and the foods, and the current knowledge and experience shared enthusiasm.

I doubt there would be any Corona there. :D I could be wrong though.

Chicken Little's? The boy who cried Wolf! Stimulus of some sort. How advantageous may it be for some to scare the herds this way or that? Intentional or unintentional this is one interesting/disturbing social experiment. Nothing to panic about and yet there is an unnerving observation of panic...

As the above. One extra thing I always do when transferring is to set the pressure of the CO2 bottle to be higher than the finishing pressure of the beer to transfer (5 - 10 psi higher). Eg if it finished at 15 psi then I'd set the CO2 bottle at ~ 25 psi. Set the spunding valve on the receiving...

Flavor boosters taste like flavor boosters :thumbsdown:Also 1.5ml in a glass is way too strong I'd think. Try a drop at a time. There is all those new fruity beers on the commercial shelf now and I've tasted enough of them to screw my nose up at them. Basically Beer, with flavor booster, yuck...
