Thanks S.E Id be more inclined to brew ferment and rack the fermented wort to the cube. How long will this last if kept airtight at room temp? From there when a keg became available id probably force carb over a period of a week before connecting to my taps. If we wanted to bottle from the cube...

Yeah I store 3 of 4 in the fridge and grow the third. Im yet to have a vial of spit yeast go bad or fail to start. With that said tho i might move up to that process where ya store it in gelitine and freeze it. Cant remember what its called. I dont use stir plates or flasks just an old coke...

I usually exclusively use wyeast for this exact reason. You know the yeast is healthy before wasting all the time and effort with cleaning and sanitation. With that said tho I've never had a yeast fail. Some have taken longer then others to swell. Additionally i split my smack pack 4 ways so i...

Hey guys, How's everyone's brewing going? So I've run out storage space. I have 4 batches in bottles, 2 keged and 1 in Tap Kings. I'm a newish BIAB brewer and I want to keep stockpiling. I always do 90min boils and I always chill to ale or larger temps appropriate to the style and the yeast...

Ill take a PM Also let me know what yeast ya want us to try something like a liquid british yeast 1098

Ill work on it. Probably install a ceramic heat lamp into a bar fridge/freezer and use an STC 1000. Just gotta find a free fridge

Yeah was just doing some largers as its easy atm without a fridge down in Melbourne. And im finding a few towels and inside is quite good for ales but yeah your right theres no constant so brews are different bactch to batch. Next time i can pick up a free fridge ill make it a ferm fridge. The...

Yeah ambiant would have been at least 10,12,14c less and i didnt wake up till 9-10 ish. So i recon the 28 wouldnt have been max it would have reached. Its coming down nicely. About 22 ish now. I just tried some that i cc'd in the fridge and its not as bad as id thought once the temp came down...

Yeah as mentioned in my first comment both would be aroma flavour hops rather bittering. 100% on a crystal addition :)

Just at the pub watching the footy. When i get home ill try the sample ive chilling in the fridge. If its yeasty ill rack it off the trub and make a new starter of 2278 and go from there. If all good ill transfer off once it hits FG

The flavour is just quiet green. Theres a decent yeasty flavour so maybe i get it of the trub? The taste that sticks on the palet is a slight chemically dry flavour. Very hard to describe havnt tasted it before other then drinking warm beer. But its not quiet the same. Might just be the warmth...

I dont know much about making recipes. I usually copy or modify a recipe I've found. I will say tho that ella and galaxy to me would be aroma hops. Galaxy would be great in a IPA however im not sure if ella and galaxy alone will make one. I usually brew an IPA with several different types of...

You guys are awesome. Feeling pretty seedy and this just crushed me this morning ay. I hope its still good cause when i checked gravity yesterday before bringing it in it was quite tasty. A little sweet, estery and the aroma was quite that of a larger yeast but all in all it was a tasty beer...

Hey guys. Got a nice all grain bohemian pils going. Peen bubbling away nice and slowly with Wyeast 2278 at 10c in the garage for 10days and has dropped 80% of its gravity. Brought it in yesterday arvo and chucked a heat belt on to rais temp for a diacatyl rest. So some friends come over and we...

far north suburbs. Around tulla broadmeadows

Hey guys. Ive started spliting my wyeat smack packs down. 3x 15ml samples stored in fridge at 1c and the rest cultivated for brewing. Currently have 1272 available and was hoping to be able to get some kolsh yeast for a brew I wanna fo in the next few weeks? The spliting down of smack packs or...

I shop at Grain and Grape and they usually rotate there brews thru the kezza. There FWKs are amazing and usually very fresh. I usually use these when i don't have enough time to do a propper brew, or if i javnt got any yeast ready i just put one on with US05. Definitely worth the 45 bucks.

UPDATE Bottled these yesterday. I did rack the beer and left for 2 days to assist with sedement reduction and bottle clarity. I must admit i love this beer tasts so good. Cant wait till its carbonated. To be honest the final profuct of the 1372 is far superior to that of the us05. The...
