That's pretty normal I reckon. Mine sometimes get creamy and foamy if I leave them long enough. 1 hour is well beyond my timeframe for re-hydration though, I usually pitch around 20 minutes or so. Didn't happen to take a photo did you?

I used to use gelatine, but haven't for at least 18 months. Biofine in the keg for Kolsch, lagers and any ales that I want to clear and it does the job perfectly without the jelly. I had a few occasions when I held the beer up to the light and could see bits of jelly in the beer. :barf:

Maybe try a German restaurant/club. They go through dozens and often come with their own plastic crate. I've got a few dozen that I'm looking to off load, but I'm in Queensland, so that's no good for you.

I just want to clarify something in your notes MHB. "There are also head negative components in the grist, mostly Lipids. Lipids are a bit of a catch all name given to fats and oils; they act much like the oily addition to the glass we looked at earlier. A normal all grain grist should have...

Site does look good and loads much faster than previously. I'm unable to log in with my old details though. Is that some security thing, or just a consequence of the change? No biggie if I need to set up a new account, just curious.

If you want to re-use your yeast, or you want to lager your beer, it's advisable to lower the temperature slowly so as not to stress the yeast. As for preventing o2 getting in, there was a bit of discussion about it some time ago and several ideas were tossed around. The photo below is what...

Agree 100% about the English commentator. I always enjoyed Simon Hill's commentary but I think he's on Fox now. They're much easier on the ear than our sports commentators, particularly AFL, who for some reason think they need to inform us of every insignificant detail about what's clearly...

Optus have given up trying to broadcast any games at all. Apparently their commentary team is pretty good and while I don't mind Lucy Zelic and Fos on SBS, it would be good to get some other input, rather than just have Fos ramble on about the games...

Where the hell was their goalkeeper when South Korea scored their second goal? They finished bottom of their group, makes me feel a lot better about our performance.

I don't use Brisbane tap water, but I'd be very surprised if it renders the Starsan useless, as your experiment 'proves'.

Those strips are about as reliable as dipping your finger in to test the pH. You should buy a decent pH metre. I use cooled, boiled water for my Starsan, it turns cloudy very soon after mixing and the pH is always around 2.6, which is under the pH of 3, as recommended by Five Star to be...

Looks good, I've made quite a few Kolsch's and only once have I used K-97. I happened to have one made with WY2565 on tap at the same time, so I was able to do a side by side and to my taste the one with WY2565 was much nicer. Similarly, comparing to Whitelabs Kolsch yeast WLP029, again...

I see France have copied the Brisbane Lions club song for their national anthem. :D

Great news for the next 48 hours. SBS are showing every game live in HD. Hopefully Optus can't get their **** together at all and SBS step in and continue to show all games live on FTA...

Picked mine up today. Thanks for organizing alfadog, nice work. New place looks great Steve.

Thanks for that. I'd just copied and pasted the numbers and it wouldn't accept it, but it worked by putting the dash in.

I'm getting an error message when I enter the BSB number.
