Thanks for the reply... bottled it in PET. Will observe and report in due course. Sorry for the n00b question but I'm unfamilar with the behaviour and performance of this yeast. Cheers - Fermented.

This is one of the reasons I gave up on tins of goo and decided to buy bulk Coopers LME from my local store. It's fresh, I brew often enough to use it before it begins to taint or discolour and it works out a lot cheaper, even inclding the cost of buying bulk hops (say 500 g - 1 kg per kind...

Hi Guys! Just need a quick bit of help. I put on an IPA about five days ago. OG = 1062 SG = 1020 now. Ambient has been 20C constantly. Fermenter is showing 22C on the thermo strip. Krausen has gone completely as has condensation. I have been rocking twice or three times daily to avoid it...

Yes, it does... that's one of the things that got me hooked on G&T at the old "Test Tube Factory" in Martin Place, late 1980s. The place was bathed in UV light to show off the UV reactive murals and fixtures. G&T had this amazing slightly lavender glow. Well cool for attracting a friendly lass...

Seeing he is in Denmark, judging by the .dk domain, the reo is a sound idea to allow for temperature problems. I hear it gets kinda cold up there. :) Cheers - Fermented.

Congrats on the Bub! Wishing you as many more as you and the missus want, and all of them healthy and happy for all of their life. Cheers - Fermented.

Give the pork a go. If you take Merc's recipe and tweak it to your tastebuds, it certainly rocks. Even with the lighter taste of Aussie pork, it's a really interesting diversion compared to the commercial beef product. The veal may be a touch too tender to take the hours of drying. That said...

Hey CityMorgue2 How did that turn out? There are a couple of ingredients in combination there that make me a little nervous to try without your review. I have a slab of silverside awaiting being recreated as jerky goodness and the recipe looks rather excellent.... rather keen to try your...

If you don't mind going Occam's Razor on this a little, there was a thread somewhere here where someone made a capsule from stainless screen mesh which they made into a cylinder that could be disassembled. Materials could be sourced from off-the-shelf strainers and the like for a lowest cost...

Thanks, Pedro. Will do. Seeing it sets hard, should I try to get some into suspension come bottling time in order to help the bottle fermentation / carbing along? Also, how is for re-use in the cup'o'slurry method? Much the same as other White Labs yeasts? Oh - and I'm not yet a masher... I'm...

Well worth a shot... Love to hear a result if anyone has the time and inclination to do it. Cheers - Fermented.

Bugger. Good to know it's out there as I may have to bite the Adobe bullet for business reasons. @ Matti: Beersmith for the the city-slickers and habitual Microsoft crew. I only chose it because more people talk of it here so it's easier to get support in the early stages of getting...

The brewhouse pub concept is great and I love it to death, but in all seriousness it's more difficult to generate a profit from it for the owner, except in the case of a corporation. Having spent a fine afternoon drinking Mr Squire's best with BribieG and Quantocks, not to mention an afternoon...

High alc seems like a nice thing, but it isn't always. Flavour and other things are a higher priority for the most part. HB is more about quality than getting nuked. Although it can be a pleasant accidental (cough) side effect. I'm guessing that castor sugar will give something similar to the...

sudo apt-get install crossover? In which case "YAY! I can get off this freakin' Windoze laptop and back onto my 1337 machine". :D Cheers - Fermented.

You might like to think about a hop sock to contain your hops. There are some other methods that other forum members have come up with... might be worth having a search around. Cheers - Fermented.

Yes, it will increase the ABV%. Are you planning to use it in a wort or for priming bottles? Cheers - Fermented.

Thanks Butters! Will have a tool around with that. :) Cheers - Fermented.

The main effect of an overpitch is foam ejecting out of the airlock. Been there, did that, full batch, foam bath! For a half batch in a normal sized fermenter, the aggressive foaming shouldn't be an issue. I'm not sure about any other flavour, etc issues. There may be negative effects, but I...

'Evening! After a wee break from brewing I'm back into it with an IPA experiment using WLP002. I had wanted WLP007 but it was sold out. So far, it's 24 hours in and has a nice beige foam on top, fermenter is pressure positive (bulging airlock just for you Butters!), and all is well. I've...
