I didn't bother planting them, I did a bunch of research and came up with nothing, and decided to buy a variety that people new more about. An older dude on this forum posted to a topic I created years ago and his words resonate now 'If no one knows, your going to have to do an experiment and...

I asked the same thing 12 months ago, and nobody knew. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/65327-red-earth-hops/?hl=%2Bred+%2Bearth+%2Bhops

I started a little cider Orchard 2011, put in a mixed bunch of M106 Improved Foxwelp, Kingston black, Michelin, Calville Blanc D'Hiver, Antoinette, and Blanch, sheep got in and destroyed a few so in 2012 added some M111 Bulmers, Kingston, and Improved Foxwelp to replace the dead ones. Here is a...

These are my first year Clusters on left, picked 180 gm wet last week and another 230 gm today. Cascade on right, and Perle in front. Still got a heap of clusters, and my Chinook should be ready next week. This is the Cluster:

If you could also add me to that list I would appreciate it, cheers.

Great thanks for all the info, will diffidently be playing around with this style for a bit. The recipes look great too :icon_drool2:

Thanks Chinamat, Yeah I figured the recipe had enough base malt also. I have not brewed a California Common before and like the overall idea, is there anything you would do differently in the recipe? I am substituting the yeast for wyeast California lager 2112 which should be fine. Would you bin...

Has anyone brewed the Anchor Steam clone on the Beersmith recipe downloads? And if so did you use the amylase enzyme? I have dry enzyme which I assume is the same thing, should I add this or leave it out. Also beersmith doesn't seem to change the FG with the amylase enzyme in the recipe, I know...

Man had a flick through some of those pics, and thank god mine didn't look much like any of those, pretty full on. Will take a picture next time (hopefully never to happen again) It didn't look bad had a small film over the top that's it. Anyway's I will give all my taps a good clean, and should...

Yes it did grow a skin. And thank's for the link to the taps, far out didn't even realise you could pull them apart that's sweet! Slight vinegar smell, more vinegar in flavour but very mild on the second infection, the first one was freaking terrible this one is more peppery than sour..

Ok cool, will avoid making my ginger beer with natural fermentation when I get around to it lol don't really like the pepper!!

Never heard of a mongrel keg, did a quick search and I am keen as mustard to start doing this in my 10lt!!

The taps? I pull them out and wash them, can you break the taps apart? Will give it ago. I am pretty sure the immersion chiller was the issue tho? Anyway s was probably a stupid question to admit a mistake on this forum, was wondering what makes a peppery flavour as its happened twice and must...

Fair call, you try living with tank water.. 2 batches out of over a hundred isn't too bad, far from perfect.

I rinse them every-time and sanitise, I don't use cleaners/detergent etc. etc. for various reasons, maybe I need to start doing that again? Main reason for not using detergent was the waste of water to rinse numerous times to get rid of the crap. I guess that could be the reason, still would...

Yes.. I was wondering if it was the same fermenter but I have 5 and cant remember if it was the same one...

Nope not in the bulk buy, unfortunately... Mmm seems strange that they both have the same taste almost drinkable if you where desperate, really has a full on white pepper flavour.

So I have had 2 infections in the past month, never had any before. I did a Saison a month ago and it was stuffed so put it through the alcohol condenser (nudge nudge, wink wink). AND it has happened again to a Kolsch I brewed around the same time. I think it was the my immersion chiller that...

Its a simple recipe tastes great. The German pils would be better, that's all I had and the color was a bit light, just inside the style range.. I couldn't find much info on the style or recipes, so came up with this one based on what I could find, the hops are great!!
