Yeah sorry I should have explained my post a bit better, that's how I use it. I was just wondering what effects it had in the kettle as I truly don't know, I do know that it works mostly during fermentation.

Lagering does mean to store, or cellar, true. So do you lager your ales at a range where the yeast is still working? Or are you cold conditioning? I think semantic a side is a good idea :D

Because lagering requires a yeast that will work at cold conditions and not go dormant. What yeast did you use? You can cold condition a cider with an ale yeast but it wont be a true lager. I honestly was wondering if you used a lager yeast, sounds like a good idea.

I use to use Irish moss all the time as my fining's, but after listening to this pod-cast from basic brewer I changed my mind on what type of beers I use it for. Interesting listen. Apparently it can effect you IBU by fining them out along with the proteins etc, etc... I generally only use it...

You can lager cider?? never thought of that before, might be worth a look. Did you use a lager yeast? if so it depends how long you want to lager for, colder takes longer generally 3 deg 5-6 weeks and 5 deg 3-4. But best to taste as you go and see when its ready. Depends on the juicing method...

No worries Wolfy, They are from Hopco from Tasmania, I have sent them an email and am awaiting reply. The discription was Red Earth - name is derived from the red hues of cones in their early stage of development, (just out of burr stage) and a brewers flavour description of earthy and woody...

Hey guys, Did a quick search doesn't seem to be much information on Red Earth Hops has anyone used these or know what they are? Thinking of adding them to my hop garden. Chef.

The supagas 6Lt ones are an over the phone sale with COD or pick up. They obviously are just getting rid of the 6kg range from there rentals and are selling them out right as a customer owned bottles. If you ring them a rep should be able to drop one off too your house, I live 3 hours from...

Whoops :P I'v been meaning to get one of those, sick of shaking a 19lt batch for 45 seconds!! good work out though.

They are a good option, I rented a 10kg one for 3 years and ended up buying two 6kg ones. One is for ageing beers in my cool-room and the other for my keggorator. Supa gas has only just started stamping the 6kg ones with customer owned and are getting rid of them. Not sure how long they will...

This has been my house beer for about 3 months, the last few times I have substituted the caramunich for other grains, gotta say Melanoidin has been one of the best...

I brewed this about 9 months ago and bottled it. Only have a few left and everyone that has tried it loves it. I used Briess pale ale and table sugar and its a killer beer, it seemed to taste best after about 6 months, and has has hit its peak right now hence not many left. I just made a starter...

Im pretty sure you can buy heating red/black lights from the hardware store, my parents used them for raising chickens. I am about to do the same thing, I have large heat lamps for brooding chickens but I think they might be too big?

Hi, Sorry I have been flat out and totally forgot about this, I too am with CBA so transfer will go straight through, mmmyummybeer is going to pick up for me. 1. Wolfy - 1x JW Trad Ale 2. iamozziyob - 2 x JW Trad Ale - 1 x Maris Otter 3. Cocko - 1x JW trad Ale, 1x JW Pils, 1x JW pale Wheat, 1...

Nice, I think that's what I'm going to start doing, any special brands or are they all pretty much good?

This is going to be a stupid question I can just tell. Does anyone regularly flatten there beer from the fermenter before taking a hydrometer reading. In the past I have just taken a reading straight from the fermenter and left it at that, but I recently decided to flatten the beer by pouring...

Fair call.. 10kg costs about $140 a year plus refill at $45, so owning a 6kg one for $180 and refilling for an extra $5 even though its smaller still works out cheaper in the long run, unless you are using a heap of gas!

Supagas sells 6kg ones for $180 each and cost $50 to fill, they have to send them away depending on the depot you send them to to get refilled, I'm planning on getting 2 of them should work out cheaper than hiring a 10kg one over the period of the year..

Yes it was, have you used it? Still smells great.

Just bought 1 kg of Amarillo last week, the web site said it was 2010 turns out when I got it it was 2011 so I hope its just as good, but I have heard its not from most reports.
