Best hangover cure is one of these before bed: https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/ProductDetails/707775/hairy-lemon-effervescent-tablets

Thanks mate, loved it. Will definitely be signing up for the next one (and hopefully competing too). I think I tried at least 10 styles that I had never even heard of before!

Have a look on here and see if any of these might ring a bell? https://www.bjcp.org/docs/Beer_faults.pdf I find I sometimes get a harsh aftertaste I can't quite describe, but it's always when my beer is green, or I didn't ferment long enough.

In summer, in the shed where my kegerator lives, would be ambient of low 30's quite easily during the day...

It's a slippery slope this hobby of ours...

I just used US05 for the first time. Today is day 5 (pitched on Saturday) and I have opened the fridge every night and saw zero bubbling. Just took a reading and it's 1008 down from 1045. This yeast is amazeballs! Definitely reusing the sludge for the next batch.

I originally signed up to steward Sunday arvo, but should be good for the whole day now. Should I register again, or just rock up at 8:30 and let someone know?

Yeh didn't really think about that lol. I've also been meaning to chuck in a Campden tablet as well. But I definitely think that water quality doesn't crack the top 3 to worry about as long as your tap water is drinkable. As for OP, the easiest thing to do is to go to your local homebrew store...

Best to chuck that in a DM mate, never know who will find it and abuse it

There was an email sent out. Morning is 9am and Afternoon is 1pm. They aim to finish 4-5pm each day.

I just place the probe against the fermenter with a couple of paper towels on the outside (fridge side), taped on. I find it's pretty accurate! I usually aim for 10-12 days fermentation then a couple of days cold crash.

It depends on your location. I am not sure about Perth's water, but here in the Hunter I just use it straight from the garden hose.

Will definitely have to give this a go! Thanks man

Feel free to contribute this good knowledge and debunk the rubbish

Hey guys how much does the 2.6kg gas bottle weigh when empty? I couldn't find the weight on the bottle at all.

I find the two biggest factors for me with a hangover is Sugar content and water intake (of course). I can mix an all manner of drinks, but it's mainly those two things. If I have a G&T after a few beers (my fav) i'll opt for diet tonic water, and try and skol a glass of water every couple of...

I'll be stewarding on Sunday too. Attending my first comp so say g'day if you see a young bloke looking lost ;)

I had the opposite experience. Used liquid once and never again. It was sticky and messy and got everywhere. I don't even think I managed to get all of it out of the tub. Plus you need to use more of it. Thanks for this tip. I just mix it straight with the boiling water, but have no issues...

Finings work best when the beer is cold. What I do is crash to 2* overnight (takes a while to go from 20-2) and first thing in the morning add Finings. I then leave that for 24hrs minimum.
