I usually use my own syringe calc spreadsheet to work out sugar amount - has worked well for the last 10 brews

It's already fermented out :P

in the fridge on the small batch - need a better stand system

Yep that's what I mean. Found an old freezer basket which holds it all up the right (wrong) way, so the lid is being cleaned now and will try on the batch in the fridge. I suspect the handle may be a problem, but only one way to find out. in theory i should be able to no chill in the cube...

Have another cube of about 6 litres of an English Bitter fermented out - I'll swap out the lids and get the cold crash going, see how it performs ** edit - after I build the stand of course :)

I've been wondering for a while about using cubes as fermenters - which I already do - but upside down, with a valve in the lid for removing and saving the yeast cake, while the original valve is open with a blow off tube attached. had some time, so I built it, looking forward to giving it a crack.

Cheers Andy, appreciate it. Thanks for constructive comments too!

Hey Andy, can't see any results under my results - but assume this is because i registered on compmaster later? Any way to link up the entrant data to my profile? Ot Cheers Rhys

Nice job Grainer! - Do we get the BP recipe now? :)

Ahoy Thought I may making my own carbonation drops infused with hop oil - before I embark on this labour intensive experiment with dubious outcomes, I thought I'd see if someone had paved the way before me. I calc for 2.4 vol CO2 after 18C ferment, I'll need 2g sugar per drop for a 330ml...

So I was wondering a thing which certainly has been wondered before me... If I am brewing a 20 litre batch, and ideal pitch rate is twice the cell count of a standard wyeast smacker, what would be the harm in no chilling the brew in two containers - fermenting 10 litres for a few days with the...

Not much within walking staggering distance I'd imagine - there's the Kyneton Caravan Park, bit of a hike when full of the good stuff, but easily possible

Yob, yep I could do Friday or Sunday if needed for stewarding - not qualified to judge however - what are the details?

Pretty excited about this, 10 min drive for me!

Both - open style in cat 2, specifically belgian style cat 7.

Anyone know the thread size for the mounting holes on the KK malt Muncher? Mine didn't come with mounting bolts

Why hadn't I thought of this before?

American Amber Ale being brewed today - "My Name's Not Bamber"

are you keeping the bottles warm? if they are outside, or in a cold part of the house, carbonation will take longer.

I prime using a syringe. Made this spreadsheet a while back to solve the problem of different bottle sizes without having to bulk prime - which was giving me uneven priming due to unmixed sugar, not to mention the questionable accuracy of bucket volume markings. Anyway, spreadsheet and a...
