Sounds good Brydon. Is the plan to brew a fixed recipe and use whatever yeast we think suits, as you would with a group brew, or fix the yeast strain as well?

The analysis shows total dissolved solids as 29ppm. The ions that are tested don't show anything at anywhere near that level so I presume that there are ions which weren't tested for that would add up somewhere around 29ppm. So I guess if you want a complete answer then you need to test for...

I can't make it, away for the weekend.

3 barls - belgian dark strong/ dubbel I'm enjoying this beer immensely and I'm taking my time to drink it (I think the alcohol is hitting the right part of the brain - I'm having some trouble typing :kooi: ). It's not so easy to make high alcohol beers that score high for drinkability but this...

I won't be around on the 24/25 either. Well done in the state comp guys, great to see quite a few getting such fantastic results. Good luck in the Aussies.

A few years back I made an APA with cascade and NS together. It turned out OK.

Great. Also anyone can feel free to bring an extra longneck or two if you feel like a swap.

Just bring some rolls, that'd be great.

I have some Sonama Bratwurst on order so the snags are covered. Need bread rolls and coleslaw. I'll pm everyone with the address. I think Brydon is the only one to have been to my place before.

2-5 works for me.

I have a few beers ready for the meeting on the 7th 2 dubbels 2 best bitters 2 blondes Has the venue been set yet? I'm happy to host if you're happy to have a meeting in the far northern reaches of the Central Coast (Glenning Valley - anywhere is north if you're from the peninsula). Cheers ****

8 - Kolsch I drank a lot of these when I was having a holiday near Cologne a year ago. Most were OK but a bit lacking in character. I blame that on the widespread use of hop extract as the brewers try to cut costs (geez they have cheap beer over there - but so lacking in what makes beer taste...

9 welly2 - English Best Bitter Nice job Welly, you've done well. It was deep brown, darker than I was expecting, and a little bit cloudy until it warmed up and became clear. High carbonation with a strong, long-lasting head. Aroma (once I got it to warm up) gave some nice caramel/toffee &...

Nice beer shacked. Nice rich copper colour with thin head and low carb. It was a bit hazy even though I was careful not to get any dregs. The aroma was definitely caramel/toffee. The flavour hinted at malt/caramel/toffee flavours before giving way to the bitterness and hops and yeah I got...

All the dates are ok for me.

#4 Mikeyr's Chinook IPA I really enjoyed that. I drank it yesterday without taking notes but I can say it was a much more drinkable and approachable beer than I was expecting an IPA to be. The hops dominated the aroma and the flavour had some nice malty goodness followed by a solid kick with...

#22 - sampled it today and I'm happy with the result but it could do with another couple of weeks to carbonate. Have it after 1st July. And don't have it icy cold. Hope you enjoy it. :beerbang: Cheers ****

I'm with Wynnum. After raising the bag and letting it drain a bit I do a dunk sparge with around 7L of hot water in a stockpot. I let it sit for 5 min, with a bit of a stir then raise the bag from that. In the meantime the urn is going from mash temp up to boiling and as it comes to the boil...

Hey Fungrel. Thanks for posting that. It's much the same as what I got from the council 5 years ago, which isn't too surprising, these things don't change that much. The water we have here is soft but saline, apparently typical for water catchment areas that are on a sandstone base. What I...
