JM, what do you mean by cereal mash? Thanks, Wreck.

I just made a 2L starter the first time, that put about 200ml in a couple of bottles. Next time, I just made a starter from one of the bottles. just pitchted my 3rd generation, but don't think I will take it any further.

Do you guys find yeast nutrients have that big an impact? I've found making up a good litre plus yeast starter gets things going and ferments out pretty well.

:chug:

I blame Sailor. I think he made all of 2 tackles, took 1 catch in the 22, and 1 kick for the entire tournament. Combine that with 1 try, he's not worth the dollars. He didn't even get close to stopping Robinson for that try. Losing that many lineouts didn't help either. I think BUGGER sums...

Does anyone know where to get flaked wheat from in Sydney? I've had a look at a few places without much luck. The closest thing I've found in cracked wheat, but I'm not sure if it would be as good. Thanks, Wreck.

Three tries in the last two games doesn't help.

How you guys going with the league? The Wreck's XV are sitting in 1699th on 373 points. My PIN is 225361.

Food grade plastic is HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). Less chance for contaminants from the plastic leeching into your brew. On plastic containers, the symbol is a 2 in a triangle, I think.

Instead of a second fermenter, I bought a 25L jerry can from Big W for about $20.

Hi, When you are trying to work out your final gravity, how do you factor in the fermentability of your ingredients? To work out the OG, I've been using the PPG values from the BYO site, and that's been reasonably accurate. Using the attenuation for the yeast, I should be able to work out what...

What's your max???

I just put in an order for Christmas with the wife. The scary thing is that the page name is beer_basic.htm. I'd hate to see what they call advanced!

Thanks Snow. Pretty happy with the White Labs, tastes good, just not as clear as I thought it would be. I'll see how it goes after a bit longer in secondary. Got another three in the fridge propagated from the original, so plenty more experimenting to do.

Apart from needing to mash Munich, will the flavour be much different?

What about CaraMunich vs Munich. The brew shop I went to only had Munich, but said it wouldn't be that different. Also, what's the Wyeast Trappist like? I used the White Labs Trappist, which I realise now has low flocculation. But from reading descriptions for Dubbels and Tripels at the BJCP...

I usually just give them a rinse, then sterilize them when I'm ready to bottle.

The Coopers kits come with 30 PET bottles, which are good enough while you scrounge around for empties. They go alright for short term storage.

Snow, Is CaraAroma the same as dark crystal?

I used Hallertau & Saaz. I'm going through a bit of an experimental stage at the moment, only just starting to play with different hops, so not really sure which ones do what. The dubbel was my first go at a partial mash. Probably a bit ambitious, but it's going ok so far.
