    Any interest in a brew club to the north of Melbourne?

    Also Interested, probably jumping the gun but I was feeling like doing some logo development so here's one based on the name the Northern Brewing Club. Northern may be way too expansive and I'm not wanting to step on any Worthog toes but its the best name i could think of.

    Labels

    I've just started labeling beers for special occasions, print them at work and just used a glue stick to attach. Merry Christmas weird uncle!

    chocolate essence in stout

    try looking up cocoa nibs instead. essence will always taste a bit artificial.

    For the dreamers

    Many managers may be ********* but people are sheep and need shepherding from time to time.

    Kilning Pils malt into Munich in your oven?

    There is a section in the book radical brewing about it, if I get pipped while writing this post the post above me will be 99% chance referring you to radical brewing as well. That said i followed his instructions for pre soaking my grain for a few hours and it took ages to dry out, was sweet...

    Bridge Rd Chestnut Pilsner clone

    Bit confused by your Nut numbers. if your saying they are using 30kg for 240 Litres. So to make it easy lets pretend your making 20Litres. 240L / 20L = 12 home brew batches divide 30kg / 12 (enough for one batch) = .25 kg 250g per 20Litre batch. A vastly different number and obviously...

    Hops for saison/farmhouse

    Not tried any New World Hops in a saison purely because i haven't been through enough of the traditionally used noble hops in saisons to warrant it. Saisons are meant to have some wine like characteristics so i can see how NS could go well. That said i would use it carefully and not over hop...

    Pearls of wisdom

    Uncrushed wheat is an decent substitute if your desperately trying to unstick a mash and forgot to buy rice hulls. (but unlike rice hulls I wouldn't add them at the start of the mash).

    Pearls of wisdom

    Although it can if your using extract.

    10 minute IPAs are good for school night brewing

    To counter some points above on speaking to a Pro Brewer and occasional poster on this site I was surprised to hear him say that when using a highly modified malts a short boil is enough and that LCPA (not brewed by him) was in fact about a 20 minute boil. Could be hogwash but he does't seem...
