Not sure if this has been posted yet? Linky Terrible site, so apologies for that.

Where the hell did you get my picture from? And what did you do with my street mime?

Or cowbell.

Can you have someone 'famous' sign it?

Plus WL don't have 1469..

AHB?

I've tried APAs/AIPAs using other English yeasts (1098, 1968, 1275) with mixed results and always come crawling back to 1469. Such a delicious, versatile yeast and as close to a house yeast as I'll likely get.

I can't edit my original post, but I have also had quite good results using 1450.

Looks like a healthy krausen on the left and a bunch of yeast farts on the right. Winning.

My go-to's are 1272 and 1469 for most US ales. A couple of weeks ago I kegged an amber/IPA but fermented with 2001 that I'm really happy with. Hasn't seemed to lose any hop flavour (being a lager yeast), and counteracted that with a big dry hop addition anyways. I'd happily go down that route...

What temp are you pitching at?

Unless there's a simply way to do it that I'm unaware of, I think you'll find it to be a pretty darn painstakingly slow process. Interested to see how this unfolds nonetheless.

Just thinking out loud - isn't the flesh of the pomegranate surrounding the seeds? How do you plan on separating the two to remove the seeds? Maybe I am missing something very obvious..

Could always use 2112 or 2565 at those temps for something fairly clean and lager-esque.

Practically on par with the $100/kg found elsewhere. My comment was more in general for those ridiculously priced hops. There's so many varieties on the market now, why pay that much for those? Granted, they have their own specific attributes, but unless you absolutely need a particular variety...

Too many other hop varieties around to be paying that sort of money IMHO.

It'll probably be a bit more bitter due to the columbus instead of EKG & Willamette, but sure it'll turn out fine. Throw them in the boil slightly later to reduce bitterness if you're concerned, but I'd go as is, take notes and learn for next time.

I was sitting in front of Jon English at a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar in Wollongong about 20 years ago. That's about all I've got, along with a signed ticket somewhere. Oh, I also made eye contact with the bass player from Dropkick Murphys a few years back during their gig. I can...

Welcome aboard! If you're interested in meeting local brewers, depending upon your location on the south coast, PM 'Cortez the killer' and he can get you access to the IBU (Illawarra brewers union) sub-forum. Note: He's not as tough as his name implies.. but don't tell him I said that. Please.

Not sure if bold and sassy are the correct adjectives, Dave.
