I prefer trawling through the banter to discover the hidden gem.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification Matt. Looks like my additional monies won't end up in the hands of the brewing gods then..

So for personal clarification, an exhibit is one bottle? Two bottles per entry at $2 a bottle/exhibit, meaning $4 per entry (class)? Say I enter 2 classes (2 different beers), that would be 4 bottles/exhibits in total, with $8 payable?

Blue steel.

1388 purely because I had no other yeast in the fridge. It was an older smackpack that I've had sitting there so will do a run with it on the other 3 cubes I have waiting to be fermented. I held the ferment at 17 to try and minimise the belgian esters and seems to have done quite well. I didn't...

Well I've just about finished fermenting this with 1388 and added 160g wet cascade to the ferment.

Whirfloc is not a concern in the fermenter as it's used in the kettle to drop proteins/hot break out at the end of the boil.

And those stupid little plastic 'pegs' on bread bags. What good are they?!? I'll tell you what good.. none good.

...glad wrap should only be sticky once it is applied in it's final position. The amount of times I've ripped some off for it to fold over on itself, and then get even worse when I try and peel it back off itself.. God dam. Now I'm angry just thinking about it.

Reminds me of this (and all that similar god dam plastic packaging that you need scissors to cut open)

OS for good (re: 2 years). 3 months travel, Xmas in Denmark with my family then off to the UK to work. Exciting times ahead.. I've managed to use up all my remaining base malt and freezer hops along with two old smackpacks in my last 2 brews, so just have a bunch of specs laying around now...

I've only read about mash hopping being mostly a waste, but hey, it's the final brew before heading overseas (sound like a broken record) and the last of the hops picked. More just because they'd add minimal bitterness and 4 the lolz, plus I've never done it before. Sample tasted pretty nice...

Just mashed in a bit of a US Brown type thingy. Using up some grain and what cascade hops are left on the bines. 48% vienna 38% pils 4% brown 4% choc 4% caramunich 2% amber 150g cascade @ mash 50g cascade @ FWH 150g cascade @ whirlpool 150g cascade @ dry hop 1.055 xx IBUs I've got some old...

Looks awesome mate! Such a good build.. Where's the STC?

If I see someone on the phone whilst driving, I'll signal to them to put their phone away (Just your usual hanging up of imaginary hand-in-shape-of-phone situation). 9 times out of 10 I'll get verbally abused or flipped the bird. Then I'll give them a cheeky smile, friendly wave and be on my...

First batch on the new 130L system, didn't have anything to keep the grain bag off the elements and thought I had the bag suspended high enough. A few minutes into the mash and there was a hint of burn filling the shed. Hoisted the bag to find a nice big hole in the base and all the grain now...

Lurrrvely. I had a read through the program but missed that paragraph. Might have to pull my finger out and get some entries bottled.. EDIT: I just had a lightbulb moment.. I'm heading down to Canberra for the beer and cider festival next weekend so can drop my entries in to Belco whilst down...

I've just had a bit of a look through the comp details but can't find an address for posted entries? I'm most probably missing something that's ridiculously obvious but thought I'd ask nonetheless.

Bit of an article here from the $10 4-pack thread. EDIT: Should've added - galaxy, mosaic and amarillo.

Probably from rehydrating dried yeast :ph34r:
