At a guess I'd say the ph of the darker wort is lower which in turn gives a more favourable evironment for the yeast. At least its a possibilty.

Is it just me or does anyone else have difficulty getting any malt flavour out of powells pilsner malt? I've done a double and single decoction, single step at 66 and 68, used WLP830 and 838 and still no real Euro malt. I'm putting it down to the malt itself.

Less than 7 days to go now! Bradt, A mate of mine lives in Nonmash and i'll also be in the tuggeranong area, will have to catch up, maybe even a brew day. TL, The wheels are in motion for me to join the Canberra brewers. will be joining very soon.

I have a chest freezer I'm looking to sell and I'll be living in Canberra from the 20th of May.

Is there anyone willing to step up? I'm moving to Canberra in 2 weeks and amongst other thing happening atm this has been the last thing on my mind. Sorry to pull the pin at such short notice.

Depends on the brand you get from Livingstone. I got a 1l and 2l Bomex one and they are nearly indestructable, unless of course you drop them. I got a cheapy 500ml one there as well and one stirbar from my runaway stir plate put a nice little hole in it.

Same goes for all the faces I briefly caught at the Aussie. I really didn't feel like working after that.

I should be looking ok to drop in at the Australian before work. Just a middy will be all I can have.

And Another one out. Bloody work. If I can I might try to drop in but I start work at 3pm.

They're also used everywhere in water cooled A/C plants. Alfa Lavall is another brand.

Was going to do an oatmeal stout for the Xmas in july case but clean out of ale malt. Now can either do it with pils or do a weizen.....

Don't forget that hops contain oils as well. May not be as high as nuts but they're still there.

ANyone used theirs yet?

I bought my March Pump off britni at Burt process when she was on here. $170AUD delivered to my door. Process pumps didn't like it but the price was right.

You'll need to do a partial mash at a minimum. The oats won't convert itself.

wow! 500g is a hel of a lot of carapils in a single brew! seriously 200g will be plenty to help with head retention and body.

THink I'll have to look into it. The lid barely fits on my mash tun nowadays, a few too many brews has left it a bit sagged and out of shape. From memory the warehouse one didn't look very good, no drain. although it was a while ago, may not be the same esky. PS my brewing has been put on hold...

is an esky food grade? :ph34r:

Same as the Dan Murphy's here at Kellyville. Not bad when you pay $16-$19 at woolies liquor for a six pack.
