I bought a set of twin fins earlier in the week. Not sure i need them but they can never go astray. Jealous of the beer engines !!!!!

Mexican lager. Lots of flaked maize ( or polenta can't recall right now ). Wlp mex lager pitched cold. Fermented at 8-10 for a month and kegged yesterday. Pretty clear for kegged from primary yesterday. I like it a lot. I'm also over building this ******* deck.

I think my best sour beer ( of the few I've done ) has been the Flanders with roselare. Set n forget!. I wish my house had a cellar so I could fill it with glass fermenters full of sours haha Keep us updated mate.

How ******* good is brining then smoking chicken? I did a few chooks like this not long ago and they were epic. I eat heaps of chicken breast, so cook a few batches during the week. I thought I'd brine some and see how it went. Faaaaaaark, super juicy and so much flavour.

I use pegs to hold the bag up off th bottom during a step. I have a gas fired keggle. 3 pegs hold it up just fine. I lift up, peg, then light the gas. Occasionally one will drop in but it's easy to fish them out.

I wish my warm fermented lagers tasted as good as the cold fermented ones ( pitched cold and fermented cold ). It'd save a lot of time and some effort. But to me, they just don't taste anywhere near as good as when I make a big starter, pitch cold and just wait for them to be done. Even the...

Cheers guys, be handy to have one of those!

"Construction site Flanders ale" This is coming along nicely. Few months in the bottle and it's nicely acetic, quite clear, mild carbonation and a slightly sharp finish. Happy with this one. Will try to wait a few months to try another. Will be hard I think.

Brett IPA. Bit young, just a taster. Bit of pineapple though otherwise not too funky. Carb is low. They take forever to carb haha

I did my first overnight pulled pork the other week. Started it too early, so it was probably done when I was asleep, but other than a little dry, man it was great. Next time I'll stare it late at night, then check in the morning. Which thermometer do you guys use???

3724 gets very low, but it takes ages and likes it hot. It almost certainly would've gotten lower, it just takes a while. Cranks for a week or two then stops, and slowly finishes off. Warming it right up, 30+c works great. I did a 100% dingemans pils saison, mashed at 62c for 90 minutes, and...

The accountants got involved and reduced the amount of koala ****

Are you claiming the distinctive taste of VB is koala ****?

May as well throw some red back spiders in there too, just to give it a bit of bite.

Make sure you update with tasting results

Don't know mate but I got it from craft brewer.

I'm a relatively noob brewer of Brett beers and sours. Even with commercial strains you're kind of at the mercy of the yeast ( Brett ) and/or bacteria ( lacto, pedio etc ). Be very careful you don't grow something really nasty. Its a bit like making your own car tyres IMHO, like why would you...

I can so see myself wrapping it wrong and it falling through the grate haha

For a "fatty" could you use a Pyrex dish, like a meatloaf to cook it in?.

Don't ruin the hysteria with fact please :)
