Rye has a lot of beta glucan in it and can really gum up the works at higher rates, which can affect launtering. Make sure you are getting a good mash out temp and that the grain bed isn't cooling down too much during lautering. You may also benefit from a brief beta glucanese rest (35-55...

Forgot to take a photo, but had my son's second birthday party on Sunday and loaded up the Aldi smoker with 60 Coles BBQ snags and hit them with smoke - created quite a few converts and tasted damn good in a bun with some coleslaw - nice snap to them.

Driving up with the family tomorrow, judging Thursday and then onto the conference - can't wait!!

Same malt bill as Commissioner, magnum for bittering charge and then Mosaic flavour, aroma and dry. 35 ibus like the Commish. Drinking the bottled version now which has more hop on it than the pint I had off the keg earlier today. Still have 3-4 kegs of the stout, likely to still be on tap...

Glad you enjoyed it -managed to grab a pint (only went on today) before heading to a GF BBQ - very happy with how this one came out.

Curly tap is a pigtail sample valve... Adds resistance and therefore cuts down on foaming when taking a sample from a pressurised tank - same way that line length on a keg setup does.

I love that "draught" is a style... I assume that one requires a keg entry? ;)

Thanks folks... after initially just being a sticky beak, I took the leap 3 months ago and took on the head brewer role at TPB. Our first beer went on tap Friday and we managed to see through six (and a bit) kegs over the weekend - a great place to start. Will have some test beers from the...

Definitely want more bitterness to balance... I would be targeting at least 50 ibu with that og, maybe even a 1:1 bu:gu for greater balance. What temp are you planning on mashing at? This will also help determine the level of bitterness you want to target.

I can't believe that there are 77 pages of ranting since Feb.... that's a whole lotta sand in manginas... ;0)

I gave mine a similar treatment and just let them air out on the back porch until I was happy with the smell... took several weeks, but I got there.

There is your first mistake rookie... The words "respectable" and "case swap" are mutually exclusive ;0)

I have a cpbf you can borrow if you like - located in Croydon.

What about plastic picnic taps? I have some spares here (used them before I got taps) and they work brilliantly. Let me know if you want to borrow. Cheers Brendo

Yep.... Just the std 110. I only did a real quick smoke on them and just gave them a quick roll on the BBQ - but that was only because it was last minute and I needed to get kids fed.

Yeast isn't the issue, it is that gelatin is made from animals - that's what they are generally concerned with. Bio fine clear is considered the vegan alternative... I haven't used it, but it looks quite promising.

if we can get a better price break on the pro model, I would probably be interested in one.

Lol... had totally forgotten about this one - good ol' Jack and his sea water brew!! Always lived Chap Chap's work... hope you are well mate!!

I'm pretty lucky - my local butcher makes amazing smoked bacon and kabana so no need to do an additional smoke run. Pretty sure I went to bed dreaming of smoked Coles snags last night ;0)

I used hickory - a combo of chips and chunks. Some more shots - shoulder done Shoulder pulled Ribs ready to go I also threw some basic Coles BBQ snags in and hit them with smoke for 30 mins before finishing them on the BBQ. It was an amazing transformation and I would highly recommend it!!
