I'm in, cheers!

Cheers Yob. That galaxy is bloody sticky and resinous. Can't wait to brew with it on the weekend. Haven't worked out what to brew with the Barbe Rouge yet. Will make a pale ale with the TDB I think.

I emailed QUU and they emailed me a detailed report for my address in Acacia Ridge QLD. Spreadsheet they sent me attached. Hope it helps someone. QUU were pretty good, took about 2 weeks to get it to me, but contains everything I asked for. Now to play with my water...

The success of a couple of 500gm rumps in a water filled slow cooker in the last couple of weeks with the STC1000 to control the water temp have made me a massive fan of this technique. Just ordered another temp controller so that one of my fermenting fridges doesn't have to suffer so I can sous...

Cheers Yob, Had to resist the urge to be an absolute greedy prick on the DOTD page! Looking forward to giving those 3 a crack.

Not partial to a glass of muddy crap I take it?

Got a sixer of sculpin from Dan's but managed to swap one of them out for the last grapefruit sculpin on the shelves. Just having a regular sculpin now. It's been nearly a year since I last had one and it is just as lovely as I remember it. Amazing hop flavour. Love it. Can't wait to try the...

Very interested in your build as I'd like to do the same thing down the track when money and time permit. Subscribed!

Perfect, I'll drop you a PM when it's carbed up

Haven't tried it yet hence basically going single hop. When this is ready feel free to drop round for a schooner or I can swing a bottle or two your way if you prefer. Made a pale ale with the #4 a few months back and I wasn't that impressed, hoping these bad boys will be more up my alley.

Mr B, you've got your batch size listed as 55L up the top but 60L at the bottom, the additional 5L + 2 gravity points = your additional 10% efficiency.

An hour + blackout 20 mins in to the boil in to an 8 month old screaming uncontrollably.... The power is back on and I've gained a brewing assistant who should be in bed...

Yep, I was going to suggest paint strainer bag and a zip tie - pretty much exactly what Grott said.

Did you end up getting this kettle? I've been eyeing it off for while now. Would be wanting to do double/triple batch biab in it.

Punching that in to beersmith doesn't get anywhere near the colour you need for an american brown ale. I think you need to at least double the amount of choc and heavily increase the crystal.

Good buy! I managed to snag one back in Feb and I love it.

I wish they'd review the liquor laws up here in QLD. I'd love to give the tight arse homebrands a crack.

Yeah, prob doesn't need that much wheat, would be fine with no wheat at all - next time I brew with that grist I'll certainly either reduce or omit the wheat and replace with base malt. Currently drinking my Summer saison. Pils, wheat, summer hops, belle saison.
