I recognize that. Aquaponics! i think i remember when you first planted them. Aquaponic hops are um, different. Huge stems, trunks, to the diameter of a 50c coin. Most the nodes sit above ground dormant and visible all through winter. Many more spring out from underneath as well until its like...

Oops, I just got the PM. Address sent hope i'm not too late.

Quite a few options of brewing software now. Excellent way to design recipes that are recorded. Try them free first and buy one. Well worth the money to help you hit the target your looking for. I still work on Beersmith II. You could just go kit and kilo of malt or dextrose will still make a...

I've cultured it numerous times. For pale ale like coopers PA balance I find the yeast is quite strong in flavor. A little too strong for my liking its a dominating flavor. It has a bitterness too it as well so the Coopers PA I get that it has just a small bittering addition of hop and the yeast...

Yes this sounds very cool. 24/7 pick up obtainability! This sounds very cool. Is that even possible? I can imagine it in sci fi terms but for home brew stuff this is totally farken awesome.

I'm sorry but I laughed out loud at this comment. Check out the Infections Photo Thread. https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/infection-photo-thread.51830/page-52 Like 58 pages, 1034 posts long. This is with brewers using better practices than a towel over the top and letting it cool overnight...

I use an immersion chiller that pumps my rain water tank until it gets low enough for Ale temps easy enough. In colder months the tank water gets as low as 9c so that's good enough to get the wort down to Lager ferment temps. In hotter months it gets down to ~22c so I then connect the tap water...

is it really that bad of an idea to do in the fermenter ? I say yes it is. Its offering plenty of opportunity for countless unwanted microorganisms to get a growing start in your wort before the yeast is introduced. The real test would be side by side tests of the same brew done with good...

Professional standards are if the seal is broken then discard. Storing the mixed product: Fresh is always best. The basic thing with storing starsan type sanitizer is your judgment. I will co2 purge a keg that is filled with phos sanitizer (like star san) push that sanitizer through very well...

Re check all procedures. Are you up to standard? For what the professionals would do? All new fresh cleaning and sanitizing solutions? I will use solutions for a while they are good. As long as they are kept in uncompromising ways. Its a judgment thing. When in doubt chuck it out. Make fresh as...

It makes your beer taste like its crossed with wine. Not good IMO. I'm with the true way of beer too that if you want fruity beer look at fruity hops especially big late hop additions, like Hop Stand and dry hopping, and yeast selections too.

Um. My home made stir plate. No heating! I say again. No heating! Repeat, No heating! Other than putting it into the temp control fridge, or not!

So its gravity being the secret ingredient then. Asking the laymans question, what is the G force needed?

Too hard basket it gets thrown! If I want Vegemite. (Vary rarely) But I recognize it and respect it as an Australian farkin awesome Invention thang. I will buy the true product. It lasts beyond the used by date many fold. It can act like a seasoning used in tiny amounts. Or lay it on thick with...

Hang on a minute. Hop stand? consider at 5 to 10g/l. Rhetorical? You have to try it. If you don't get a hop kick out of that then there is something else a miss in your technique.

Got my immersion chiller from KK. Stainless steel and I stretched it out to spread and open up the coils. You need to consider sanitary capping your wort while chilling. A thermometer in your kettle. Sight glass is cool too.

I only do no chill for non hop forward beers because of that. The big hop forward beers need chilling. A small bittering addition (~25% of total IBU) end of boil additions to make up the rest of the total IBU's and huge hop stand additions that add a lot of hop flavor with very little...

They do carry the best culture for Vinegar. To convert alcohole into acid. I actually buy a commercial product for the culture to make my best vinegar but I do have to try a backyard culture sometime too. Its definatley a concern to have these flies in your brewing environment.

I suspect the dates sometimes. Its a high demand hop and say some have it stored frozen. Then a low season that sells out, then to sell off the older stock re-dated as new maybe? Its been done all through the food and beverage trade. I'm of the same feeling that the kilo of Galaxy pellets I'm...
