So here's an update on how the two roots are going. Starting to get some real momentum going. Looking at putting up some wire this week. I have a roll of fence wire that I was thinking of putting for it to climb. Any suggestions Also, the two shoots in my 1st post died off completely.

Damn it, why isn't this in Melbourne.

Never bothered with a secondary, you could try gelatin to clear the beer further as well

I go 2-3 weeks depending on available time to brew. Gives the yeast plenty of time to clean up after its self and matter to drop out.

Dry hop thoughts? I was going to go 40g cascade, but now thinking I should mix it up and split that over two hops. Maybe Galaxy?

I drilled a heap of holes in the bottom of the tub, so don't think drainage would be an issue. Will test the ph on the weekend when I have some time

Planning on putting up some wire for them this weekend

Hi, First time trying to grow hops, I've done a bit of reading. Short version, stuck the root in the pot with some soil and it started growing. I've been watering once a day here in melbourne if it hasn't rained. Sunshine for at least half the day. Took off, then stopped and now it looks like...

So I got super busy and lazy, which meant this didn't happen til last night. I added 200g of Light DME and did a 8L boil for 40mins 40min 12g magnum 15min 30g centennial 5 min 30g galaxy Looking forward to see how this turns out. Need to do some research on when to use the hcf on Ian's...

Thanks for the measurements mate, got distracted and missed the update. Oh well next time

What in the internal height and the external height?

Thanks for the input guys, it's much appreciated. I'll have a play on excel tonight before doing the batch. But I do like me some hops, so I'll up them all as suggested and dial back the magnum or the boil time accordingly. Haven't played with centennial before, but love the Galaxy as a late...

I used Ian's spreadsheet, seeing as it's only a 8L boil for a 23L batch. Am I suppose to have the hop concentration selected as yes? As I thought my above was going to be 30ibu

Hi Guys, Just after some thoughts on this recipe, as I'm looking to put it down tomorrow and haven't tried it before. Aiming for a nice refreshing session beer and would appreciate any advise. 1.5kg Briess Wheat LME 1.5kg Briess Light LME 200g Light Crystal Yeast - US 05 Steep Grain in 3L of...

Hey everyone, I've never bulk primed a batch before having used carb drops or measuring scoop dex. So I have a couple of questions on the process after doing a couple of searches. 1. My FV is a conical design, as with all FV the trub, hop pellets, etc collect on the bottom. Really it's...

I dry hop 5 days from bottling, normally 25-40g

Great base kit can. Definitely try the fruit salad ale recipe of the coopers website, one of my favs. With that kit, just add a can of liquid malt either Amber, light or wheat, steep some grain, 10min boil of hops in 5L and some US-05 yeast, ferment at 18degrees and you will have a great beer...

Not to sure where you got your hops from, be sure to check the AA% on the packaging. As my batch was only 10

If there's any light crystal I'll take 5kg
