HI Matt, My gutfeel is to wait and 'she'll be right'. Where abouts are u in this wonderful country? Its still pretty cold in some areas, especially at night as one person said here. Temp fluctuations can make the yeast be rather naughty and slow. I cant believe I am saying this, but you could...

I was waiting for you to post here, Bum. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...st&p=672975 cheers...bottoms up! Rendo

How Do I Brew Tooheys New? by bum I reckon it might taste better this way rendo

Hey Wolfy, Am quite interested in your frozen yeast sample. Is that just yeast and wort in there, taken from a brew or a starter maybe? I always thought that the freezer would rupture and kill the yeast. Let us know what you do to store the yeast in the freezer. How much success/failure have...

Hi under & rosswill Under, you are right a german yeast would be good, but there is no time. ross, u are going to have to use a ale yeast, US-05 will give you graet fake lager that no one (maybe even you) will be able to tell the difference. Lager yeast will take at least 2-3 weeks to brew and...

exactly the same one as I use

happy brewing guys!!!

It hasnt gone to waste at all...dont throw all that good beer away. i am happy to come and pick it up :) worst case you buy a new packet of yeast and she'll be right My thoughts are there is nothing wrong... i)it might be taking a while to kick off.. ii) it might have already started and you...

Hello Alehouse, I have brewed several outta date kits, 2month, 2 years, ( i think 2 years was the oldest). I opened a tin the other day that exp in 1998!! yes...98. My tip...dont brew outta date kits and do your very best to stay away from kits that are near being outta date. anything older...

PURE GENIUS I was about to make a similar trip to bunnings on a quest to find some sort of 'plug tool'.....then I opened a beer and it so happens that the front of my bottle opener is a near perfect fit and does the job beautifully....talk about a multi purpose tool. rendo

TOUCAN.....DOOOOOOOO IT!!! I stumbled across two farmland draughts some time ago, $1 each....they were clearing out the entire homebrew range..... So I did a toucan....it was pretty bitter...shall I rephrase that...FREAKIN bitter...but after a few months it mellowed and it was fantastic...

Looks great MLP....nice and simple...i bet its a cracker...let us know what the head rentention is like. How are you carbing? Try steeping some carapils say 200g or so....maybe some dry wheat malt 300g...

Hello Losp, short answer = YES (because you have stored it in the fridge, good move) However, yeast is cheap, what I would do is make a yeast starter....OR at least rehydrate the yeast (easy to find out how by searching here...sorry...its bed time otherwise I'd type it all out for...

Maybe you can make a brew that does taste like Megan Gale's arse...as such. Can you imagine the sales if you get the hops just right!! You'd have to be using "pride of RINGHOLE ringwood" for sure....she is an aussie after all!!

I bottled a lager that had been cold conditioned and was SUPER crystal clear on the 31st July, you'd swear there was no yeast, but I know there is... stiol not properly carbed after 3.5 weeks...I'd say 50% carbed at most...far out...I am getting impatient, but I know it will carb, it has been...

Hi mate...yeah I was meaning to get back to you, tried to write earlier, but the kids are full on :excl: (until then are asleep and the housework is done) Anyhow, i took a look at the recipe, given the detail and care you are going into, you have no worries. because either way you will learn a...
