Thanks Fourstar :) I usually have a C hop in there plus some amber malt and no wheat. But the simcoe/amarillo comp is awesome on its own and the wheat is to try and get some bready/grainy malt flavour.

The results could be a couple of days away, the Head Steward will double/triple check them and release them when he is happy. They will probably be posted here and on the QABC website, maybe even twitted :P PS there are a few photos of the event on twitter.

First yr columbus with 6 shoots. The tallest is about 40 cm and within 24 hrs of hooking up the string it has wrapped around twice... fast growing/moving little buggers :P

Just picked up one of these for $15 at Bunnings Underwood :D Used the same method when buying my sodastream bottles... take it to the counter with the youngest, most disinterested young lady and they swipe it through as a refill/swap. The thread is a bit shorter than the SS but screws onto the...

+1 For swapping out the POR. I would also double the 10 min and DH amounts. Great hop and very similar the simcoe.

I cracked open another 450gm bag of amarillo yesterday and it was beautiful, just full on tropical fruit :wub:

Its nearly 1 yr Doc, how is it coming along? We had a barley wine night a couple of weeks ago where we crack both of my wheat wines and a Mikkeller Hvedegoop. I was really surprised at how similar they are, Hvedegoop was much more bitter but over all the malt profile was the same. And I know...

After entry they will all be stored in the Craftbrewer cold room until the comp. It could be enough time in the bottle, whats the style?

My first year columbus has 5 shoots coming through, the first appeared a few weeks ago.

Clean is fine.

Slide a bung over the end and you can turn it into a CPBF. Now instead of purging the bottle you can pressurise it and then crack the bung a little to release the pressure while filling with beer.

Just remember final alc % is a product of the freezing temp and not the starting beer. The table below will give you an idea of the strength youll end up with. If you can measure the temp of you freezer then you can get an estimate of the final %.
