Not actually, learnt the trick from a Welshman! Chips and anything is good...

I love curries in all shapes an sizes, and highly recommend the following recipe for Chicken Balti. Its the first hit for "balti recipe" on google, hence I found it by fluke, but I have made it a couple of times now and it comes up great! Even better, do this recipe, and once its ready get some...

I would be very surprised if anyone did what you are suggesting, a fermenter in a freezer at refrigeration temps being kept warm by a heat belt... the mind boggles!

I have the NASA, and adjustable medium pressure reg you see in the beerbelly link. Highly recommend this combination, for a 50Lt pot, 30Lt boil.

Meaning the unmalted grain is not having all of its starch converted?

KRUDD will not be pleased, think of all the excise he is missing out on with your $900 going to a means in which to not buy commercial beer...

275 for 48, no shaking. Never fails.

There was a discussion about growing ones own barley. I said its too hard, dont bother (as did others). You (among others) said I dont mind a bit of hard work, and think I would quite enjoy it. I say fine, go for it. You're right, my argument doesn't necessarily negate yours. EDIT: Quick note...

For the fun of it, absolutely. My point exactly. If it floats your boat go your hardest. I just mean it wont make a beer better, or cheaper, or more unique (in a good way) so if you are your average brewing enthusiast dont bother, but if you want to give it a try go for it. Just like for your...

EDIT: In reply to quantumbrewers post (btw, all in good fun, cant resist a good argument!) My point is that you might not make a superior product, but rarely would you dedicate 6 months worth of work with no potential benefit at all, rather than the thrill of the chase. Lots of people will try...

Hmmm, it might be 4 days work on a small plot amongst thousands of others in British Columbia, but here i would think you would want to fertilize, spray for weeds, add certain trace elements as needed, use pesticides, and depending on where you live water it from time to time. You would also...

Vineyard owners source their grapes when the one's they've grown aren't what they want. Winemakers do not. Hobbyists certianly do not, they know better than to try to grow their own grapes when they would get a better product by buying good grapes off professionals who have vineyards setup in...

I'm not saying it's impossible, merely highly improbable. It is MUCH MUCH easier to brew an AG beer with pots and pans, colanders and stuff you find around the home than it is to grow 6kg of barley to a standard approximating malting barley with your backyard and your bare hands. As tg...

I seriously wouldnt bother. Malting grade barley is the best grade a farmer can hope for their barley to go. If you grow your own crop you couldnt expect to get specs good enough to go Malting grade, and even if by some fluke you did you would struggle to do it proud malting it yourself. Good...

There is always something you can do, but in my experience it is difficult to get it back completely. But then I probably just got impatient. The most effective method is to disconnect the gas open the relief valve on the keg. After 24hours with the valve open connect it up and see if it has...

Do you mean your first keg was under carbed? Its a matter of debate what the "correct" way to carbonate is, but i believe the method you are describing is the "safe" way of doing it. I dont use this method personally, but I believe the theory is you set the pressure to a certain level, and...

I go with approx 300kpa (more like 270 but this would make little difference) for 48 hours, always have a taste test after 24, but its never anywhere near enough...

And all this time I thought fosters was horses piss...

I would argue you would get a much "cleaner" beer by force carbing, and I also have an aversion to adding table sugar to a brew that I dont really need to, probably ridiculous but kegged beer just seems to tastes better to me and I cant help suspecting that priming may be the cause. (I think I...

Ah, but they havent tasted MINE...
