I did extra of mine but some bugger keeps drinking it!

That's a bugger, have to have an early tasting session! My punt is 20 in the final count, should run a sweep! :lol:

ONE MONTH TO GO! Right kids, a bit of an update .... we are officially an all weather event. I bought a 12 x 6m marquee to cover the pool while I repainted it. So we're good to go even in "inclement weather". I'm happy to receive crates from those who want to drop off and you can pick up...

That seems damn cheap, did you see these in the footer...

I can think of lots of fun uses! Location?

That's not a barrel, it's a spare room! :o

Before swapping to kegs, was mainly using pet. Coopers, big w and others, never had a failure? Perc carb cleaning nails infections as does starsan and a bottle tree to drain. The little $2 sugar scoop from the hbs sure helped standardise carbing.

Turramurra ....... means place of too many trees. Ah **** its my place...... Moruya...thats like south of "the shire"... is that the place of the extra hairy hobbits?? Bottling the ipa tomorrow, spent the morning playing with an imperial, cold cubing while i spin up a yeast. Gravity nudging...

Converted to electric from gas, wish I'd done it sooner. I don't have a garage to brew in and so the kettle was always outside meaning more hassle. Now have the boiler on a stainless bench on wheels, roll it outside from the laundry when the fog gets too thick! Luv it!. Have a 3600w and...

Yep the stir plate package is $800!

Meh .... we're also exposed to far more viruses ( through global travel), chemical compounds through modern life and we live longer. You may eat organic but probably chop it up in a kitchen and house full on chipboard .... I agree the focus on sterile is a western issue and we probably...

Me too

A slightly more expensive alternative would be a composite plastic wood decking material. Will not absorb liquids and are pretty robust vs chemicals. Don't need to reseal and you can get in wider boards. Often "end of run" specials on ebay. One benefit will be that it allows airflow under the...

Peter, By all means, i was the "virgin" last year and hosting the swap this year. Great experience and the feedback was bloody helpful and very fair. (and far exceeded my humble expectations!!) I found it a great confidence boost to get some non "mates" (prior to the meet up i mean) input and...

Could go all technical on you but it's not possible for botulinum spore to grow in canned malt extract.(edit: so to quote Douglas Adams: Don't Panic) Neither can they grow in high acid environments. Salts less of a problem for them but the density and water availability is. Don't eat the...

Halfway through a keg and already have it's back up in a cube ready to go! Took the advice of putting at the back of the line for a few weeks and this seems like a very good plan. I used the White labs San Fran Lager and did a heathen thing of using Marris Otter, wife likes a bit of Malt...

Let me see, you have another baby due and you're considering spending a Saturday arvo with a possie of someone else's small rug rats! Unless of course the Niece is 21...... I'll prep a sleeping bag!

Suggest add hops at 10 and 5 mins, you need to work out the ammount to hit your ibu target. Ive found it really boosts aroma. Less at 90 and more late. I love simcoe but list looks good. I chuck in a bit of wheat for head. Nothing wrong with a cupboard cleaner brew, gp and crystal works.

It's clearly food grade so why not!
