I suspect the limited time frame is more to do with microbial testing than mineral analysis.

I don't see why not. You can send a 375mL beer bottle for water analysis or any beer analysis. We analyse wine samples from all over the country although admittedly, more from within SA.

Hi All The Australian Wine Research Institute is considering offering analytical services to craftbrewers, homebrewers and hop farmers. It is something I have loosely been involved in by advising a few things i thought would be of interest to these groups. Targeted water analysis for those who...

If water doesn't wash it off then it has reacted with something coating your cook top.

Grumpy's Facebook page has updated to say that the restaurant has been extensively damaged but the brewery is ok. All staff got out unscathed thanks to a working smoke alarm. The wood fired pizza oven is apparently left going 24/7 so each day firing it back up isn't too hard but this time...

My drying regime involves 2 fly wire screen doors sitting on milk crates. Although this year i am hoping to use more of them straight from the bine and pass some on to a local brewery.

Apparently it's a complete write off, only the restaurant as far as I can tell. The brewery was separate. I drive past this each day on my way to and from work so I'll get a look tonight.

Not looking good. Sad to see this place go, so many good memories and very influential in my transition from kit to AG brewing. Link

Chinook just starting to form burrs. Struggling to keep it from taking over the garden at the moment. Beginning to think fertilising was a bad move... There is supposed to be access past the plant to get to the apple trees behind and access to the Victoria plants. May need the chainsaw to get...

No, that's just normal Chinook growth. Last to break the surface but when it does it grows fast enough you can almost see it.

Growth rate is crazy.

Dynamic lifter once a month. I'm sure the commercial growers can jump in with what they use. It's been a wet spring so far so no doubt that is helping.

Sorry mate, sold out early this year.

There could be something in that. The other plants that were flooded (raspberries, boysenberries, apples, pears, rhubarb) are also going gangbusters although i have been fertilising them too.

The growth this year has been amazing if not a little scary. First year fertlising them after 10 years of thinking that horse manure in winter was sufficient.

I found 30C constant worked a treat. Ferment freezer did the job for the majority of seedlings at 24C. I used a smaller fridge for the chillis, capsicum and eggplant at 30C. Germination rate was above 90% for most seeds. They've been in a greenhouse for the past month but it's been very cold...

I buy all my vegie seeds from boondie seeds. Smaller quantities at a much smaller price.

That's because each time i brewed a variation it retained the name. I brewed it. It was golden and an ale. Don't overthink it.

Thanks but no thanks. I've already got more chilli seedlings than i have room in the garden beds for.

Very true. They all germinated easily and jalapeños are taking off in the greenhouse. The habs are sulking, far too cold. They've had only 1 set of leaves for weeks now. All going in to wicking beds.
