I was thinking "...yeah kits where easier, it was just tin, sugar, water, mix, yeast, & ferment" ... but now reading your post and remembering the clumps of DME & over-temp wort that needed to cool before pitching yeast ... yes it was actually more stressful! :lol: Now with AG brew days are...

Just gave a couple of workmates each a "sample" glass of my first attempt at this recipe & received very favourable comments ... including "...if this was on tap at my local I would park myself at the bar in front of the tap" & "you should bottle this and get them to sell it here" (pointing to...

You have grouped Wyeast 1056 with Saf US-05 ... are they really that similar? I have just started using liquid yeast with my last two brews & both have been 1056 ... where previously I would have used US-05 ... and both brews are based on your Bright Ale clone with the second brew substituting...

+1 ... and I also meant to say I love the whole recycling of bit's & pieces idea to make something useful :)

Is that a lead balancing weight on the rim? (top left of pic) If so, you might consider removing it before it melts and drips molten lead onto your floor... or foot!

So tempted to start a thread with the topic "Free Beer" ... and the message "So has anyone got any they can give me?" :rolleyes: lol

Brewed 2 weeks ago & tasting great..... Closely based on Tony's LC Bright Ale Clone: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=301

I only slightly modified the Hops adds - the 45 min stayed the same, 20 min I reduced the Saaz to 15g, 0 min I reduced the Amarillo to 10g, and the Saaz ended up being about 12g. Final volume ended up being 20 Litres in the fermenter, at 1.048 ... fairly different result to last weeks 1.052 in...

Hi All, My mash strike temp was not as high as I had intended it to be (66c) ... it ended up being about 63c after I had stirred the mash in. I did quickly heat up another 5 litres to about 75c & add it - but had to drain 5 litres from mash tun in order to fit it in. I didn't want to let more...

My POR & Goldings from DrSmurto: POR: Goldings: Still just babies, but with loads of potential :)

The Man and the Beer For poor old Joseph Hartley, The poet sighs, or partly, And likewise drops a tear. But not for Joseph only, In the graveyard lying lonely, Doth the poet drop a tear, So crystal, bright and clear, He is thinking, thinking, thinking, Of that liquor brewed...

That sounds ridiculous as it would lead to busting the top or the bottle, or both. Does it just not screw on at all? If it does screw on, does it hold any pressure when you try and gas the bottle? Is there any difference between a sodastream bottle thread & a PET bottle thread? (or are they...

And by the topic, here I was thinking it was going to be a recipe for rabbit stew :P Rabbit curry maybe?

There is something wrong with this picture... or is that image? I dunno, wine just does not seem to fit ... bourbon on the other hand....

OP ... Was it Saflager S-23 that you bought, or Safbrew S-33? I can't find anything called Saflager S-33

I have had one of each of Smurtos POR & Goldings in potting soil in 20x20cm square pots under the back deck since delivery back in May - kept moist & sugarcane mulch on top. A couple of weeks ago I noticed the POR poking up a sprout, so last weekend I planted it in the raised bed that I had...

Linky for those wondering about that ... http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...view=getnewpost

No, I think that one was a Brain Scientist :P

Well after 2 weeks in the fermenter I filled up a 20L cube with hot water from the tap (approx 60c) and stuck it next to the fermenter with a sleeping bag over the top ... this was my attempt at a diacetyl rest as the ambient temp in my garage is around 10-12c ... then a week later (2 days ago...
