Tart is not a relevant descriptor for Wheat beer and has since been removed from all viable and valid descriptions (e.g. BJCP 2015). Seems to me that some tosser (sorry, Michael J., you're wrong on this one) once thought they had a tartness (more likely a dryness, due to phenolics) and a lot of...

I like the way he got to hang out with a string of gorgeous Catwomen, but also remember that he could take the piss out of himself and the character in Family Guy, Big Bang Theory and others. He also starred in a number of spaghetti Westerns. So, remember that he was not JUST Batman, but will...

Oh my gosh, an old Fowlers Vacola fermentor. I have one of those and it NEVER gets used for brewing. I think it keeps boxes of bottle off the floor for when it floods here. I bet yours has developed a "house character"over the years that would not be considered a good flavour. Are there a...

Brownsworthy recently reported lemon aroma, so that part matches. He did not yet mention his source for the rhizomes. Aroma: Specific aroma descriptors include resin, pine, and lemongrass. from here

I agree with MHB, like I usually do. B) Perhaps your measuring equipment needs to be calibrated. Could it be that your pre- and post-boil measurements are not at the same temp, or your boil-off volume is not being reported correctly. Seems to me that excess (greater than expected) post-boil...

Thanks, much appreciated. I may need to move all my hops for next season, so I'll have a few to sell or swap, having not dug them up for 3 or so years.

Sometimes the wrong tradies are employed for the task. They're all the same, right? At my place the insurance mob paid an electrician to do some plumbing on my septic tank pump. Note: there was no electrical work performed, but it is an electric pump. About 3 months later, when I complained...

Yeah, that's what I said... not in those words, but I can't renounce my eloquence and prolixity of written expression. Mardoo - Shame!!!

Please keep me in mind for next year if you're stilling growing it and I'm happy to help out with some rhizome swaps if you want. @Medowie

More like media whores beating an old story to death. Don't judge the ***** and leave her to live out the remainder of her pitiful existence in peace. I'm sick of it already. ABout as interesting as B-celeb Pippa Middleton's wedding. Who??? For goodness sake, doesn't everyone have enough crap to...

Fk, I thought I'd hit my gravity this time, having set my efficiency calcs at 90%. Still got 1.044 at my desired volume. I only have a 50 litre fermentor ready to go, and not too keen on diluting it to required gravity, as I'll meed to leave space to pitch my yeast/ kräusen. Stupid efficiency...

Been a while since I last brewed and there is no good beer left for drinking (or sharing). Need a keg filler and 'tis the season for Brit Bitter. Today, in the works, now... Teninch English Bitter Sessionbier Brew Type: All Grain Date: 27/05/2017 Style: Standard/Ordinary Bitter Brewer: Seth...

Steve, where on the site are the hop's year reported? Can't find it, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot?

...or just like a record collector?

Mark, that pic just bums me out. What an arse he is!

Rice hulls might be necessary if you have a taller/narrow lauter tun (say, a round drink esky/cooler or keggle). I have a rectangular esky with a copper manifold (prepared to Palmer's recommendations) and I have not yet had any lautering issues. As Pratty said, 63°C is a good mash temp for a...

Well done there. Don't always believe what you read and only half of what people tell you. I used to really enjoy a Coopers pale clone brewed with the Coopers packet yeast and some Coopers Real Ale can and hops and... Yum. Brewed it once accidentally with a weizen yeast. Came out better than...
