Nah last year i got my first rhizomes off ebay and some more off an AHB member "Lockrockingbeers" they all grew nicely in pots, didnt get a huge harvest first year round and am considering putting them in the ground this year if i can fine a suitable place.

Sounds good Weizguy! Looking forward to trying the new and improved version!

I enquired about this a little while back, apparently you need a male snaplock adapter and collar, GMK should be able to help you out there. edit info

I use the dry yeast nutrient no brand name comes in silver foil packet $1 for 6gm pack. For a 1lt starter i use a very small amount, 6 grams is for 20lts. I chuck it in the cool wort.

At the Lord Nelson I tried all the beers that they brewed on site and my favourite I would have to say was the "Old Admiral" dark malty beer with a slightly sweet yet roasted finish 6%av. Thanks for organising the tour Gerard as well as the roof at the Australian! At which I had the Gauge Roads...

Hey Beerslayer, quick answers to your questions. - Yes i use it, mostly in starters and strong ales. - Yes it helps kick off a strong fermentation and attenuation - I use 1 packet of the dry stuff per 20lt, i think they come in ~6gm bags?

You wont get much if any flavour from 300g especially if kept at 0 degrees. But your right blueberries are expensive especially if fresh, i use the frozen packs when doing fruit beers as it works out too exy to buy 2.5kg of fresh produce.

Thats the most fun i've had in a while, my memory fails me after the James Squire but im guessing my autopilot kicked in and i got a train home, i woke up surpised that i even made it home. It was great to meet you all, great bunch of genuinley friendly people! Cant wait till the next crawl...

Should be ready to drink just in time for those cold winter...

Last night while making a starter as i was adding my yeast nutrient i pondered the question, can the yeast overdose on this stuff? Kind of like a plant can overdose on fertilizer? So instead of adding my usual dozen or so tiny crystals to a 1lt starter i added roughly a 1/4tsp and it seems to...

Yeh i saw that, i have read somewhere of people using espresso machines. But when he gave the asnwer as washing machine because of constant temp and movement i was left shaking my head.... And did you notice for the taste test they served a glass of wort made in the microwave and espresso...

Thanks Steve!

So now that my hops have been harvested i think i remember reading somewhere that the best thing to do is cut the vines off a few cm from the base and leave the rhizomes to hibernate till next season. Is this correct? And i can supposedly bury the vines to create more rhizomes, correct? :unsure:
