How long is a brew day now compared to the other systems you have used?

Sorry for pointing out a small but still a risk.In a world where the first defense is , "nobody told me"...he has been told. It"s not a myth, there are some recent articles on it.

I'm pretty sure wort falls through the cracks of food regulations also, of course there is a risk with no chill wort and storing wort for long periods with very low levels of oxygen that you grow Clostridium botulinum and poison people with toxin.

Do you have a local brew club/ association/union...? Buy in bulk through them, 1/2 sacks and 1/4 sacks are normally possible by sharing. Plastic pails or drums are good as you can stack them. If you don't want the grain in contact with plastic you can put fabric liners in.

The thing that p.ssed me off was the campaign saying it's a 220 yr old beer, typical JS trying to manufacture their credibility. They always have some angle.

I know it sounds old, the whole thing was a bit of marketing for James Squires, considering many breweries in Europe having been using the same yeasts for longer than 220 yrs .

I'll message you.

Where are you based , I can get them ?

There is one on ebay , made in Taiwan, AquaTees Fishland , has 6 measurements ie pH , ORP, Salinity, EC ,TDS, Temp with storage soln and all calibration solns for $160. I can get my fish tank water checked and beer in one meter .

Thanks Mark

Just wanting to know if anyone has bought a multiparameter meter - ie pH , TDS , Conductivity , salinity .. They range in price from about $80 including (cal solutions )up to several hundred dollars. I don't want a random number generator so willing to spend $200- $300 . Thanks

That's what I was getting at, the first commercial strains are medium to good flocculators , framgarden stays in suspension for months and months.

There are different kveik cultures from different geographic regions, many are mixed strains but the commercial versions are generally 1 strain I think, although I haven't bought them from the big companies . I got them straight from Norway, but they have different characteristics depending on...

The problem with the bottle these sanitisers come in is the top of the lid can break off and then air can deteriorate the sanitiser. I put glad wrap over the top. With the testing, a pH meter is probably worth buying.

draakken , taking the argument to the extreme length , is that coming from an industry point of view given you have just joined ? I think if you call yourself a manufacturer in an industry , then the most important element is the assembly or making of the product where that happened. In my...

What they do is import it from China then fix up the welding and add outlets on and make it look really nice then bung Made in USA on it. It isn't very honest but there is a critical size factor of the fermenters where it isn't economical for them to make it in the USA. Like car manufacturing ...

Grain and grape in Melbourne have German made SS fermenters , some aren't pressure rated though. Furphy engineering in Victoria manufacture fermenters. They will be expensive. SS Brewtech fermenters are made in China also. Spike are probably also made in China.

What really ***** me is this was predicted to happen eventually , we spend billions on our military , billions on insurance of all kinds and Governments around the world hadn't planned for this. A pathogen not much more than a bunch of amino acids and it can bring the world to a stop. I think...

? Princes Wharf Hobart , I think in December. That was a great event. Yeah there were buckets of Corona everywhere. I remember Carl from Moon Dog making fun of them.

One of the classic characteristics of Norwegian (other Scandinavian countries also) Farmhouse Ales is the use of conifers in the process not just for flavour but as the inoculation sticks (before discovery of yeast ) , mashing filter bed and as a antimicrobial agent. Conifer resins and oils...
