Yep, always at least one APA on tap. Constantly playing around with different amounts and combinations of Cascade and Amarillo. Brilliant flavours. :beerbang: Scott

Enjoy a nice red wine. Sometimes even the not so nice ones. Ditto. It is a bit difficult to answer as its never going to happen here. I get the sh#ts when I see an empty keg. :angry: In fact I have the sh#ts now. But I'II be happy again on the weekend. :D Scott

Six kegs here. Not quite enough but its just getting me by. Hope to rectify this shortly. :D Well done Steve, no looking back now. :chug: Scott

Thanks for the tip razz but it was DrewCarey82's problem. :P I was just curious as to if you reused a yeast cake that had initially been used in less than favourable conditions, would any off flavours be transferred to the new beer? I would suspect that this would be the case but I'm not...

Just had a thought. If a beer is fermented out too high and you end up with off flavours (ie. banana) and you then re-use the yeast cake, will the same flavours be transferred to the new beer? Even if the second beer is fermented at more acceptable temps? Scott

Yep, Merry Christmas everyone and have a great New Year! :chug: And a big thank you for inspiring me to go AG this year. :beerbang: Cheers Scott :beer: :beer:

hughman666, I believe it can be done but the diameter of the jets (holes) need to be altered. I'm not 100% sure but I think the jets need to be increased in diameter for natural gas. I have a vague recollection that I read about someone on this site having done it. Scott

I'II also give a vote to Dave at Greensborough Homebrewing. Good range of products (that he's improving all the time), good prices, very helpful and is always up for a chat. :beer: I haven't been to G&G yet (bit too far away) but its probably the only other HBS I'd go to. Tried one in Boronia...

lucas, SUPAGAS will refill your bottle (9kg) for $19.50 if you take it there. They also swap bottles but its an extra $5.00 or so. Scott

G'day PP. No I didn't actually see anyone else do an AG before my attempt. When I got back into brewing a bit over a year ago I had no intention of doing AG's. But over time I just felt that while I was happy with my extract brews it could somehow be better. I ended up doing a few partials and...

Thanks for the tip beerbelly. I'II give it a go next brew (Wednesday week) with a better wind barrier as well. Cheers Scott

Gee Steve, you'd be pissed off with that. :D Right next to the BBQ! :chug: :chug: :beer: Scott

I love it and have used it for bittering, flavour and aroma. Its my favourite hop at the moment and as others have said it goes well in combination with Cascade. I tend to use it mainly for flavour and aroma with NB or POR for bittering. I've just got some Simcoe recently and I'm looking...

I don't usually set out to age any of my kegs but having said that a keg may be carbonated and sitting in the fridge waiting for another keg to be finished. This can vary from a couple of days to 4-6 weeks. The other time a keg may get aged is if I don't have enough room in the fridge. If this...

Well, 4 days after entering the keg yesterday it began leaving it. And I must say I'm VERY happy with the outcome. I'm not terribly good at describing beers but I'II give it a go. Its quite bitter but not too much and seems to be well balanced. And the hop flavour and aroma is fantastic. The...

Thanks Screwtop. Yeah I do keg and I have a spare keg waiting for it. This weekend will be spent racking it and making room in the fridge for it. :chug: It will be in the keg sooner rather than later. :D Scott

Cheers guys, Had a lot of fun doing it and it was great to hear the familar airlock sounds this morning. Smells good too! razz, I'm going to organise one of the brewing software programs when I sort out some computer issues at home. Scott

A bit like Darren, usually half way thru the boil. Started earlier a couple of times but it just gets messy. :( Scott

I was warned about the slippery slope but I obviously didn't listen because yesterday my first All Grain was born. :D Thank you to everyone on this forum for your knowledge and information which enabled me to have a 'relatively' stress free day. :beerbang: It was great to finally get stuck...

Chimera, You'll be right. It really isn't that difficult. Just don't forget the ear muffs. :) Scott
