Thinking of splitting the wort and trying different hops for each component mainly.

So, here's my query. Could you create, boil and no chill your wort without adding any hop additions. Let's say the wort is a high grav than you need. Then, could you boil your hops in plain water for the correct time, bottle that and sterilize the bottle, then add it when you need it (ie at the...

Thanks for feed-back grainer on the Coffee Stout - inspired to brew it again as an AG - did you ever come up with a recipe?

I'll be there Wednesday, can't wait

Sounds like a nice pla. another one I like is to chip in for a barrel, everyone brew say an imperial stout to recipe, then blend them up and let it age.

Just the smack pack, activated for around 3 hours

ferm temp is 18-19℃ cheers for reply

Holy thread resurrection! I've got an ESB going on this yeast at the moment, been chugging for about 7 days. OG was fairly low - about 1.042, so was expecting a fairly quick finish, but currently sitting at about 1.020. No flocculation yet, and seems happy enough (lots of yeast in suspension)...

Free Eddie! nice one! A fine ukulele player :) more happiness... given a stainless fowlers preserving urn - just asked on a free stuff facebook page and hey presto! Anyone else out there using on these as a BIAB urn?

I love how the AHB crowd always looks after newbies (brewbies?). Warms the cockles it does.

Yes, no good. It has the compressor in a hump at the bottom, and the way the door is molded also gets in the way. No worries though, I'll just start brewing 9 litre batches and increase the turnover.

happiness is scoring a bar fridge for free to ferment my beer sadness is finding none of my fermenters fit happiness is working out two 10 litre cubes fit PITA is splitting the batch and yeast between 2 cubes but contentment is, two merrily fermenting cubes, snug in the fridge at 18C

Dodonaea viscosa - Native sticky Hop Bush. Always wanted to try it - would love to find maltable native grain too, but that's possibly asking too much. apart from native rice maybe?

They sell used ones (once contained vinegar) at Emelia's in Piper street Kyneton, VIC. $3 for a 25 litre cube I think. I bought 10 for watering the fruit trees.

That summer berry stout was freakin' amazing!

OK, fair points all zeggie - as Yob points out, it was my experience not his, or yours and obviously some bad planning on my part stuffed it a bit for me. Glad to hear there was indeed brewer's talks - and I did hit the marquee often. Change one or two factors in my control, I probably would...

No, my being a ****-head and forgetting hat, sunscreen and water was all on me, not blaming the organisers for my stupidity. Rushed out the door, the four year old needed sorting out at Nan's, weather was cool and overcast, and yeah, I made some silly choices. We all do it sometimes. But where...

At B'rat it's $2 a token (minimum purchase of 10), which at 100ml tastes is $20 per litre (or $15 at Geelong for the $1.50 tokens) - and yeah, that's not even outrageous, I'd pay that happily.to get the variety you get at these things. But $50 just to walk in? Suddenly you're up to $70 for your...

The non craft beer drinkers are the experts in **** beer after all!
