@Adam G - How readily available are the can blanks and caps? Just thinking it could be a killer if you have to ship from the US every time you need to top up your consumables. I think the home canning idea is cool in principle, but if I was just looking for a solution for camping i'd be more...

Just a repitch of m44. That's the plan, nothing fancy just something to throw down!

@ein stein I reckon they're chinese knockoffs, if they're actually stainless and the same spec as the real deal then it's an absolute steal anyway.

Brewing a cream ale tonight. 40% pils 40% ale 20% flaked maize Hallertau @ 60 to 15 ibu

Quick, cheap & cheerful American blonde.

Either siphon to another keg or pull the dip tube out and chuck a paint strainer bag over the end of it and secure with a cable tie. Absolute pain in the arse when you get blocked poppets, I feel for you.

If you get wort crusted on to the element chuck a bit of citric acid in with some water and bring to the boil. When it cools down the element will wipe clean with little effort.

American farmhouse/saison sort of thing - ale/wheat/vienna, bittered with chinook or Columbus I think, then mosaic late. Recultured DuPont bottle yeast.

Only 200g... is it a 5 litre batch?;)

Happy days, count me in.

Chris seems to be much more active on twitter, instagram and his blog. Might be worth dropping him an email.

I'll take the 38L pot if it is still available.

I got those from Peter's of Kensington, also available at Victoria's Basement - about $20 for 4. Or you can get them from craft'd $15 each.

Since originally replying to this thread I've started splitting my late additions between flameout (25 min whirlpool for calc) and cube (15 min whirlpool for calc) and I think that the hop flavour is more rounded and closer to where I want it. My process now is: kill the boil throw flameout...
