Thanks, I did read this somewhere else. Comforting to hear it again. Cheers

Thanks everyone for the help, much appreciated. I might go to the LHBS to see if they have some other crown seals and see if they help.

Cheers mate for the advise, I will give it a go.

I recently brought a bench capper and crown seals. The bulk of the bottles I have are twist/screw top bottles from Cascade, Boags, CUB etc. When I go to cap these bottles they don’t seem to be very tight and you can twist them off fairly easy. The caps themselves are also a little flared. I’m...

Sorry mate I didn't realise there was a link thing there, that was unintentional. The info came off a Hobart based Home brew website.

Thanks for the indepth feedback, given me some things to think about. I think I might just stick with Dex to be on the safe side. Cheers!

Ok cool thanks for the reply mate, seems like White sugar might be worth a try. I mean it sounds right, because adding white sugar to beer can make it cidery, so you would think white sugar in cider will add more cidery flavours.

Hey all I'm planning to make another Brigalow Cider, my first attempt turned out quite well by all reports. I want a slightly sweeter taste next time, so Im going to toss in some lactose, on top of the kit and 3l of juice. However on a local homebrew website mentions to add white sugar...

I was there this morning got myself a few cones, I found another crop further up the track, there is heaps more there than the spot I first found. I'm still learning about my hops, so if there is a male plant in the area some of the cones will have seeds, is that correct? I'm gonna get myself...

No probs mate, I will let you know

No worries guys, I will see how I go and let you all know.

Hey Not sure mate, its pretty overgrown and its intwined with other things. Is there more than 1 Rhizome? Are they hard to find? Do you live in Tasmania?

Thanks Nige, well thats 3 people that suspect Goldings

Cheers, well to my uneducated eye, one of the leaves look like a golding leaf.

Thanks mate that link was really helpful. I just picked off the leaves. That price of vine had 3 different types of leaves that look like HALLERTAUER-TRAD CASCADE Goldings Here is a pic, what do you think? Can hops have different leaf shapes or is this due to cross pollination...

Thanks MHB, I will take on your advice. I think there would definatly be some POR in there for sure.

Hey Guys This is a wild hop that grows near my parents place in New Norfolk Tasmania (20 min from Bushy Park). Its been there ever since I was a kid. But since I have got into Home Brewing I would love to use it but I'm not sure what variety it is hence I dont know how I should use it. It...

Thanks mate I will follow the links!!

Ok I think I have almost got the Rinsing Yeast procedure down pat, however I just have one more question if I may just to clarify somthing I'm unsure of. Where it states "Once the yeast has been rinsed and settled to form a thick compact layer of yeast-slurry (if it is viable and healthy) 50 to...

Thanks mate
