Is Kveik yeast more flocculant that US 05 yeast? If it is it's possibly dragging hop flavour/aroma compounds down to the bottom of your fermenter as it settles out at end of primary fermentation (yeast are sticky critters). Your hop flavour is still there, but more of it is in the yeast cake...

Available Sat, 3 Dec 2022. Useful for clipping BIAB bags, hop socks to vessels, for retaining hoses etc. (and being stainless, less drama if you accidentally drop one in your brew)

I remembered reading about Coopers getting heavily committed to Yorke Peninsula a few years ago, so I went digging and found this Coopers media release from 2019: Strong Global Demand for Malt From ‘Cool’ SA Barley 6 Dec 2019 Malt from premium barley grown in coastal areas of South Australia...

Welcome. Yorke Peninsula? - that's where Coopers get their barley from isn't it?

The difference in bottle pressure between the two beers is possibly related to the different amount of CO2 that was dissolved in the beer when you bottled them. Couple of key points: First, the colder a beer is the more CO2 it can hold in solution - warm it up and the CO2 will want to start...

Forum is a bit quiet at the mo so I thought I'd do an update bump on old Trev. He’s in Thailand at the moment with his Thai missus. So not his first visit and he knows the lie of the land. A holiday combined with getting some extensive dental work done on the cheap ($25K here in Australia, but...

Even old iron built by Caterpillar in the 1930s doesn’t last forever. Worn out a lifetime ago this crippled grader has been stripped of salvageable parts and now put to the wrecker’s torch for scrap. All set to the earthy lament Bring My Flowers Now sung by a soulful Tanya Tucker.

Here ya go...

Be careful drinking that Kentucky Common. Can be very seductive. Here’s a song by a bloke who reckons it can be life changing and hard to shake off (I think he misread the lyrics, but you’ll get what he means). Take care.

Sister Golden Hair, live in '79.

David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat & Tears singing four of their hits at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2006. This band fused rock and jazz and the songs are more than 50 years old now. But to me they still sound as fresh as when I bought their Greatest Hits album back in 1972 (the second...

To all the young fellas out there, you should marry a girl like this.. and not one like this...

I dry hopped a brew with an iPhone once. Gave the beer a green Apple taste.

And came across this rare old gem from Darwin in the 1980s. A local band called XL playing one of their own songs Don't You Break My Heart for a charity telethon on Channel 8 TV. The video and sound aren’t great, but it’s not a bad song and well sung by the sultry girl singer. Wonder how many...

Sting singing and playing Message In A Bottle - literally as a one man band. Superb live rendition of this great song, all the way from '81.

Despite the language barrier, some fair and balanced reporting from the German media:

Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters talked candidly to Joe Rogan last week about bandmate Syd Barrett’s mental decline and downward spiral into drugs and reclusion. And here’s the band’s David Gilmour playing his Wish You Were Here - a song that not just laments Barrett’s sad loss to the world of...
