I didn't go in, just hung out at Beer Deluxe and made the most of Temples pale ale through a Randall with whole US Cascade. Looked busy inside.

Heard a rumor there is going to be something fantastically fantastic at the showcase. Might have to check it out.

Here's the spec sheet. Enjoy. I haven't looked over it yet, I'll chew over it soon. Cheers, Sam

Excellent link. Good image of pH affecting Maillard reactions. Makes me want to go on a lager bender after an extended hiatus. His comment on his front page: "Despite what many readers would think, I'm a fairly relaxed brewer. Some of that relaxation comes from knowing the process and...

An easy way to boost a score is make sure the beer fits the style guidelines- it can be a great beer but score poorly due to not fitting the requirements. This seems to happen quite a bit, and it's a fairly easy fix.

Leave it until your happy with the flavour - it can take quite a while to kick in I think, leaving it for a year is common. Ideally, the brett in Orval should have a year to get going after it's been bottled, so a similar timeframe seems appropriate. Isolate brett gear to brett, or burn it...

Yep it's been done. Yep it works. Here, here and here are some threads. Search and enjoy.

I think it's a good idea for the above mentioned reasons (fluid distribution and avoiding channelling). I think just running the hose ontop will create some undesirable channelling, but - it is easy. I used to use aluminium foil with the holes but tended to go through a bit of foil, and now...

Got some Highland Park 12yr and Glenmorangie Original on the go at the moment (picked up the Highland Park for 55 bones - fathers day special). Recently had some Sullivans Cove, 2.5yrs old from a 50l port cask - fantastic. And some cask strength Macallan (no age) which was nice. The Aussie...

Very excited for a beer-only store in Melbourne. Reminds me of the legendary Bottleworks in Seattle. Hopefully make it along to one of the events. Cheers

I'd try and kick the temp back up to 20-22C for the final push. Should get a bit more out of it.

Yeah, thanks for getting this all together Ryan, much appreciated. On the specs, still waiting on them, I'll hassle them again on Monday and post them as soon as they are available. Until then, I'd treat it the same as JW Pils. Cheers, Sam

Still waiting on the spec sheet, I'll circulate it amongst the buyers when it comes in. Cheers, Sam

Yeah, stuffed that one up, I meant Matilda Bay, not Malt Shovel. Brand is a powerful thing.

Do Cascade do much brewing for Malt Shovel? Or anyone else for that matter?

Attenuation 68-72% from Wyeast. Yeah, don't let it drop out, it doesn't seem to start up again to easily. It isn't the easiest yeast to work with, but the effort is worth it.

English styles, esp. bitters. If you want to try something a little different, brew an American IPA, but use Ringwood. I don't post much, but as soon as Ringwood pops up I'm all over it like a forum whore. Cheers
