Just did a pilsner on WLP802 that was at terminal within a week at 10 degrees. A bit sulphury after 3 weeks, but will sit in the keg for at least a month before tasting. BUT I have nothing of value for this thread :p

Good on you mate. I know Nathan, so looking forward to assisting/brewing with this equipment that you've sold him!

I've had this one on tap for about 4 months - brewed November 2016. Yes, kegs last a while around here. My Pirate Life Pale Ale clone. Was beautiful early, went a bit awry for a month in the middle, haven't touched it for at least a month, now it's lager like and super easy drinking for 5.8%...

I hope you find it on tap one day. It's probably my favourite beer and I like it in the can, but on tap it's something else.

Hey mate, I don't need this, but national homebrew sell the Perlick branded growler fillers for $18.50 if you want one. They're great. Make sure you get the GT600 version for the 650's.

I haven't been on here for a while, but thought I'd update everyone on this. The WLP802 ripped through the wort in about 6 days, so I bumped it up to 18 for 48 hours at about 1.014, then dropped it to 12 for 24 hours and then dropped 2 degrees every 24 hours after that until I reached 1 degree...

Lager ferments definitely look different to ale ferments, don't they? I always have a fairly clean krausen on my ales, but this lager looks like the krausen has a layer of brown yeast sludge slopped thickly on top. It's going off at 12 degrees though. I only remembered yesterday as well that...

Nope - my entire bits and bobs equipment containers got stolen. I had nothing left to add.

Just would have helped clear the beer up. Due to the **** storm that had been my week, I just kept to what I was already doing and used solely Hallertau Blanc. 15g at 60, 15g at 30 and 25g at 10 for roughly 32 IBU. And yes, phone is well and truly cooked. It nearly caused a boilover when it...

So this brew is in the books. No salts, no whirfloc, just RO water, malt, yeast and hops. Everything went extremely smooth, except for the fact that I dropped my iPhone directly into 32L of wort 10min into the boil and had to transfer everything out, fish it out (took over half an hour)...

Yeah there does appear to be a bit of activity now, I'm still going to brew tomorrow instead of today. Hopefully it ferments out over the next 24 hours, then I can fridge it tomorrow and decant it tomorrow night and pitch.

Yeah have held it up and can't see anything going on in there really. Krausen is getting a bit bigger but dissipates as soon as I shake to aerate again. I've decided I will brew in the morning instead of today, in order to give it a bit more time! It's still well under 24 hours so I'm not...

1 pack of fresh WLP802

Already pitched to 4L unfortunately. Right, I was of the understanding that starters were quicker. Interesting. So if I put off my brew day until tomorrow, do you think it will be right to pitch by Sunday night/Monday morning?

I made a 4L starter yesterday with 400g LDME and pitched the yeast when it got to about 22 degrees (last night around 5pm). It has stayed at room temp (about 23 degrees in our air conditioned unit) overnight and I have shaken the **** out of it every hour that I've been awake. Zero activity this...

I did a 4L starter in a 5L carboy. Just waiting for it to come down to pitching temp then will add the yeast. Will probably brew tomorrow, hopefully crash the starter tomorrow night, then decant and pitch on Sunday morning.
