Yes 2g/l would be a good staring point. I tend to dry hop in two parts. For example 20g for 2 days, removed (needs to be in a hop bag or, like I use, a large ss tea ball) then another 20g for two days. Seems to maximise oils and minimise vegetal doing it this way. Others will have different...

I like Citra but not in some beers I have tried. The hop character will vary with malts, yeast, water, fermentation, quantities and timing of additions, etc.. So sometimes it is worth giving a hop a second chance. I like POR in some of the beers that I have brewed but usually at 20 IBU's or...

Thanks to all the organisers, judges, stewards and sponsors for your time and effort. I received excellent feedback on styles on which I have spent a lot of time and thought this year. A special thanks to Mark who delivered my score sheets and prizes to me at the AABC in Canberra. I was...

Great brewery. If I go any where near Wagga I always stop a night or two there so I can go to the Thirsty Crow. Excellent selection of beer, very friendly atmosphere.

Sorry to hear that. Lyall and I always had a good chat or two together at past Nationals. I hope he is keeping well.

81/100 is the same as 121.5/150. Or put another way the average of 41 and 40 is 40.5. Add the three together it equals 121.5. I assume this has been done so that all entries receive a score out of 150. Not quick enough.

The Brew Shop is going to offer to send down entries on a skip (small pallet). I will speak to them today and confirm details. You still need to pack your entries safely and get them to the store on time (date to be confirm).

No, no, no, no.

In my experience looong cc'ing is needed for kolsch yeasts but the wait is worth it.

Read Beer and Brewer (good coverage of craft brewing in Australia and NZ) BYO (good mix of home brewing information)and Zymurgy (also good for latest thoughts, methods etc.). All have articles/sections that not relevant to me at present/or ever but overall they keep the mind working.
