Awsome just did a search on the acacia tree nitrogen fixing, never heard of that before. I've set up irrigation from our channel running off a auto timer which can water from 1 hour to about 12 and the start time can run from 1 hour intervals upto a week. I have not set the start times or length...

Ahh yeah I had to mow 2 foot of grass before planting them so should be sweet, cheers!! :beer:

Yeah i am interested in the black stuff as I get it every now and then usually when I have a dark beer on tap, at first I thought wasps where trying to nest in the tap :blink:

Hope not <_< It was something I thought about, Its quite a large trestle and the trees are over 4 metres away, they are only wattle not gums, I have built up beds for the hops so should be ok, just have to wait and see. I will post pics when they have taken off..

So stoked this has been in planning for a bit and it is done!! Hop trestle 3 metre high poles at 10 metres apart which will support 6 plants, each plant 2 metres apart minimum. From left Saaz, Perle, Hallertau, Goldings, Cascade, and Mt Hood.

My calf and sheep love them, especially when they are still warm, hopefully they absorb the flavour :icon_drool2:

Holy cow, thats insane clearly drinking is what takes up all his time ha ha!!

This is a good option, I use wet towels in summer when its over 35deg out side, I re wet them each morning and night and I can keep my beers at 20 deg which is not perfect but ok for a cheap easy option. But you need your beer to be at 20 deg to start with and if you dont wet the towels one day...

Rhurbarb is a bitter sweet but most often called sour, my point is with real cider apples come in 4 clasifications which are bitter sweets, bitter sharps,sharps, and sweets, so it is possible to use rhubarb being it has similar characteristics of bitter sweet cider apples b, i w wil have to...

Hear, hear! I agree with all above.

The book "home brewers garden" has a rhubarb infused beer which caught my eye, you might want to pick this book up its got some wierd stuff in it. You might find the rhubard would be more bitter than anything so you probably could use it with dessert apples instead of the regular bitter cider or...

WOW! This thread has entertained me for about 1 hour, I have to post something after all the effort I put into reading it. Pop corn pic was great lol. Sometimes brewers will scare the **** of newbies bit like what happened the first time I posted on this forum. It took me awhile to realise...

I was talking to my sister in law who mentioned she makes soft cider from crab apples by cutting them into quarters, pouring boiling water over them, and then adding cream of tar tar, finished with sugar for taste. It is non alcoholic but I am wondering if this is what your father was talking...

Sweet I would be very interested to see how that goes, as it should be perfect with the 17 grind selections.

Ok Thanks guys, I will look into getting a mill as I would prefer consitancy over being cheap, I was just hoping I could get out of it for awhile as I have just bought a truck load of other bits and pieces. Nice work on the pasta roller Maheel that some pretty awwsome ingenuity lol I can see...

I have done 3 BIAB's now and have finally nutted out the volume ratios and ways to change a recipe to suit, many thanks to Pistol Patch, this forum, and BIABrewer.info. The only issue I am having now is my grain crush, I am using a food processor that we use in kitchens to blend seeds and spice...

I had the same issue I would like to read about it but there was far to much info, I couldnt find the article about the IPA's. I had always thought the hops and alc where due to the long boat ride too..

And yes its ok to laugh :P , this will double as my cooling unit, I have raw water from the channel and last time I put the keg into the chilling device I ran the raw water in by the garden hose, it took 20mins to get from 100 deg to 20 deg. I put a towel that i soaked in sainitiser over the...

This is my second crack at BIAB i am making a Bohemian Pilsener. Beta rest 60 deg 30 mins and Alpha rest 70 deg 30 mins hit temps and no loss..! Just about to bring to the boil..
