JAO Mead uses only supermarket sourced ingredients

Today I brewed using the Brau without my urn to heat some sparge water. I usually sparge with 8-10L. What I did was boil our 1.8L kettle 4 times. Each time I would add 200mL of cold tap water which would get me down to 75c. Perfect. Perhaps that is an option for you.

Thank-you for the promptness of the results. Very much appreciated! How's the head, Grainer? How many Specialties did you end up judging? Looks like a big day for all. ps - Bayside FTW!

Can I purchase one of the plutos? I am in Melb and will happily pay postage. edit - added location

If you can find them, Pink Peppercorns are the most floral of the Pepper family. They are delicious!

My last beer of 2015 was a Panhead Red IPA. My first beer will be one with Sam Calgione in about 20 minutes!

I'd be hesitant going beyond 5% for the crystal malts. Google 'Fuller's Golden Pride' recipe and you'll find some decent recipes (that's what I did and I am very happy with it).

Damn fine photography there.

I love a hard boiled book. Raymond Chandler, Dashiel Hammett, et al. Hope the book is a great success.

I second the Fuller's London Pride suggestion. Cracking beer.

CO2 bottle still available?

Do you have any idea when the SS Brewtech Butterfly Valves will be in?

You should have received an email. PM me if you didn't.

When are the bottles for the Nationals due?

No. The software knows nothing of Saison yeasts. It'd be closer to 1.002 if you mash around the 64ºC mark. The sour option will take longer. I finished the keg last night. It is a year old. Sitting at ambient. Didn't need to add CO2 after kegging it. Sensational beer, I'd try it again.

I made a Mulberry Sour last year that was my best sour to date. Mmmmmmm. Added about a kilo with some Brett Clausenei. Got funky. Mulberry Saison sounds good. Go with 20% wheat and the rest Pils and you're laughing. Bitter to 23IBU.

The fermenters were full and the rain was coming down so I fired up the turntables and made this... https://www.mixcloud.com/bookerh/shes-got-a-mouth-fulla-liqour-and-a-head-full-of-wrong-ideas/ Expect rhythm & blues, jazz, big band horns and moody blues. Wailing about the weather, the booze...

Reading this at the moment (not this cover unfortunately - one of the Penguin Classic covers). It's a killer. I'd give it my highest endorsement.

I will preempt the comments for you... "Out of style", "inappropriate for style" and "enter in specialty category next time".
