Yep & yep. In this weather (Melbourne) I would say 24 hours is plenty. Might even get too cold.

Yes I do. Still got 2 Cascade crowns and the mystery/unknown crown. PM me if you want to come grab them.

Yeah fair enough. Might take a little bit longer at that temp, but sounds like that's not an issue. You might already be all over it, but this is the calculator I used for balancing my kegs. Worked a treat for me. I was foaming all over the place before using this...

I keep mine on 24/7. Less effort, same amount of gas being absorbed. As long as you're keeping the beer under constant 12psi pressure and the beer is cold, it will eventually carb to 12psi. I do 12psi for my carbing and serving pressure. It usually takes a week to get to the right pressure. It's...

Yes. Kegging is so much easier, faster, better.

Let me know if you're interested. Happy to show you how I managed mine if that helps.

I guess that depends on your soil. Once you plant them and get them established, they grow like a weed. You just need to provide something for them to climb, and give them plenty of sunlight, water etc. It's not difficult.

Yep. As I menioned in the OP: Would prefer pick-up from NE suburbs of Melbourne, but can post at your expense. From what I've read, posting to Tas and WA is pretty tricky so I'll have to exclude those states, sorry.

Still got 2 Cascade crowns and the mystery/unknown crown. Come on fellas - make me an offer.

Did some searching on the site. Apparently we can't message you because you haven't posted much. Perhaps go leave a few comments on threads you're interested in and see if that helps. Pretty annoying I know. Don't stress, I have plenty of stock left.

@Lord-Laguna - I'm struggling to PM you too. I don't really want to post my email address on here, so let me try to get a PM accross to you first. @ballantynebrew - Got your PM. Responding now mate.

It's possible. They've been growing in the region wild since war times apparently so it could have spread from seed. If you do go there, it's lovely.

In my early kit days I used to add a few drops of licorice essence (or aniseed) to coopers stout kits. I liked it. Sometimes I'd use black jellybeans to prime the bottles. I probably wouldn't do it now, but it wasn't unpleasant. Agree with one of the comments above that a capful is a lot. Just a...

Some more info on the Otway variety: I got my original rhizome from another AHB member AJ80. Around that time he mentioned that his had flowered a little bit, and "The flowers were quite interesting, quite earthy and spicy with just a touch of fruit."

I don't mind at all. 1. No I don't sorry. Just had a look. I've only had it in the ground for one season, and to be honest I didn't put much effort into it. It did flower, but they were very small and very few. I think if they received some proper attention they might provide decent yield...

I have a number of rhizomes to sell and 4 big crowns. Would prefer pick-up from NE suburbs of Melbourne, but can post at your expense. From what I've read, posting to Tas and WA is pretty tricky so I'll have to exclude those states, sorry. There's three varieties available: Cascade Unknown...

Are you kegging? If so, maybe just keg it now, then do the final dry hopping in the keg when you get back. Use some fishing line or something so you can get it back out again. At least that way it's not going to sit on the initial hops for too long getting grassy.
