Maybe I'm like Shortybronx and cherry? Ed: SO MAYBE I AM MOFOX WHAT OF IT? I hate coming across as negative in the review but I'm reflecting on what I was getting in the beer and my knowledge/experience (and lack thereof). It came across as diacetyl to me but also crossed the lines of possible...

9. mofox1 - Heady Topperish (drink now!) I'm prepared to be wrong about this and I hope it's the only such example, but when I cracked the lid on this all I could smell was diacetyl. It has a hint of hoppiness hanging in the background but muted by the big D. Not overpowering, but evident all...

Nope, I had swap-friendly P.E.T. containing liquid gold

I won't waste the undeserved time commenting on the product. I will however suggest something else that will get this off shelves fast in Australia... Every tried cordial straight from the bottle? Pretty strong right? Ever been a university student or apprentice looking for a fast way to get...

You've probably got a bottle droid, some of the earlier collectors grabbed 2 of my bottles which were missing labels. It'll be in there someone. Being a re-used bottle there's also a chance it's got a number on it already which is admittedly piss-poor on my part.

Have some likes. It's BS but I taking a week off on the first week of November for a golf trip with my rellies. The addition of the swap weekend won't fly. My blood will boil if I talk about it more and besides it's not the same without a fire in front of me. I'm still mad-keen to participate in...

Regarding the query behind using a different fluid, I challenge the logic. If you're concerned about boiling the HERMS water you're only looking at a single scenario - no flow (be it a blockage, airlock or accidentally closed valve). What will change in this scenario if you use oil or glycol...

TheWiggman - 2 x WLP059 please

It worked for bananas, why not make a grapefruit wine? 1. Cut grapefruits into slices leaving peel on 2. Boil and add a ****-ton of sugar 3. Put contents in a fermenter and add some wine yeast 4. Leave it sit for a year because the internet said so ok? 5. Bottle 6. Blow minds at swap

16. Danscraftbeer - Session Ale low carb blah blah I wrote something up on the phone last night but it vanished when posted it - getting ****** with the app since the upgrade. I'll do my best to recall. Low carb? This thing was spritzier than an Aussie champagne knockoff (zing!). I served it in...

Kaiju! Aftermath Double IPA. Still feel guilty about 'aquiring' this off husky at a recent swap and I must find a way to repay. This is an intense beer. Juicy hop aroma that warns your pallate is about to cop a flogging. Full US flavours balanced between pine and citrus but tending towards a...

I've got some WLP085 spinning up on the stir plate as we speak, got it off Martin and never tried it before. There's little info on it out there but the description seems favourable. US or lager yeasts? I reckon you'd be doing such a complex brew like this a disservice. English yeasts throw...

Spewing. Reading through the the style guides I think you've nailed it, all my comments - in isolation of the guide - are on the money bar the phenol. I get the two confused but I think it's more of an ester. I don't like the clove flavour in general, this didn't exhibit it. Moderate hop flavour...

Midnight, left looks to be a naga jolokia and the right a trinidad scorpion hybrid of some sort. Idzy, I'm up for that sauce jar if you don't want it. PM me and I'll cover postage. Mofox yes the controller was buggered the next morning. Haven't tested it but I'm guessing it's liquid ingress into...

Hard to explain and I'm speaking from experience rather than education (i.e. I haven't been trained and learnt flavours anecdotally). The likes of MartinOC will tell you with more certainty and he is certainly honest with his feedback. What I tasted in your beer was characteristic of an...

Booooooooooooo! That's really strange Mick, 3787 (apparently the equivalent) is a beast and has messed up a few fridges on me. Mine made it to 1.007 so yours should be in that ball park. If the spoon doesn't work consider racking, I've read that's worked for a few people here on the forum. How...

Hey I can upload attachments now

14. GrumpyPaul - American Rye Here's a new one, I've never brewed with rye before so was hoping to learn something from this. Well, I most certainly have. Very clean on the nose with very little going on with a pleasent, grainy beeriness - which seems like that's how it's supposed to be. It's...

12. Laxation - Stout. **** first up I've picked the wrong bottle. Oh well review time. First thing I noticed is there's very little carb with little, but residual head. It has a strange sourness to it on the aroma and not much stout going on. Taste-wise similar: sour, sweet and has what I'd...
