happy benno, Back in my extract days I generally used DME but did on a few occasions use LME. I never noticed a difference between the two. I used DME most of the time as I found it far easier to handle. Cheers Scott

Here you go Bribie. Scott

WarmBeer, If you go with option 2, which I think is probably what I would do, you don't need a larger fermenter. Ferment out what you have and store in a cube or whatever. Then ferment the 'drier' IPA you haven't brewed yet. You can then blend the two after they've both been fermented. Scott

Congratulations Steve. Sorry, I don't have any tips with coping with twins. I do agree with the other posters though; get brewing and go see that urologist. Good luck and hope all goes well with you and your wife. Cheers Scott :icon_cheers:

Taking a while so far! :D Just bumping it for you Mitcho. Cheers and welcome. :beer: Scott

nqtrancer, Before racking to secondary I would be inclined to bump the the temperature up to around 18-20C for an extra couple of days. This will ensure that fermentation is complete. Once you're sure its all done then rack to secondary and CC. I don't always CC but when I do the beer always...

Thanks Steve. I really should have done this by now; keep meaning to but just been lazy I guess. :rolleyes: Cheers Scott Thanks Screwy for taking the time to explain your method. I appreciate it. :beer: Cheers Scott

Hi Screwy, What hop form do you use in the keg when dry hopping? Pellets, plugs, flowers? Also what do you put them in, or do you just throw them in. Dry hopping is something Ive always planned to do but just never got around to doing. After 70 odd AGs its a bit embarrassing. :( Cheers Scott

As others have said, I think its fantastic that he is prepared to give out so much information. :beerbang: Fermentation temperature suprised me a little. Scott

Thanks TB Scott :icon_cheers:

Oh and cooraf, Great looking shiney set up there. Well done! Cheers Scott :icon_chickcheers:

Sorry cooraf for taking it a little :icon_offtopic: Thirsty Boy, How hot is hot? At what temperature does HSA cease to be a potential problem? Cheers Scott

Phew, I thought I was going to see a little chinese farmer's "henry the 3rd" as we zoomed in! :o

And you certainly won't find him condescending!

Personally I'd prefer to support my LHBS. A saving of around $10 for something you will probably use 50+ times............???? The tap, airlock, grommet etc is usually included when you get it from the LHBS anyway. Scott

Appears it is. According to the "how to brew" website the current 3rd edition was published in 2006.

Here it is. Link

Boagsy, I've had a barleycrusher mill for almost 4 years and have been very happy with it. Using an electric drill to run it makes light work of the grain. Scott

Definitely a lurker here. I only get the chance to get on here a couple of times a week so I tend to spend most of the time reading the threads that Ive missed. AHB has been an invaluable resource to me over the last 4 years. When I joined I was extract brewing and had no intention of doing...

For me its a convenience thing. So long as I have the grain I can brew when ever I want to. I don't need to plan ahead with getting the home brew store to do it for me. As far as freshness goes I haven't noticed a difference; but its been a long time since someone else pre-crushed grain for...
