Hi Luxy, welcome to site and congrats on the first brew. as fingerlickin has already pointed out, 32 is a wee bit high for pitching the yeast, however to late now :) brewing at around 20deg isn't to bad and hopefully you'll have a great first brew and some of the links/questions here will help...

oh the shame of it... :( to sad to even figure out the value..... i did however buy lots of shiny new brewing toys if that counts for anything. maybe 2006 might be better, but with the wait for freight and going out bush for weeks at a time, kinda slows down the brewing :)

jye, ah gotcha... the one i thing i need to do is stop being lazy and build a dip-stick of some sort so i can measure my pre boil volume and attempt to figure out my % boil off. not sure if big d has the same problem, but i usually get around 25+% boil off, thats in the 40L bucket-o-doom...

thats one thing i really need to sort out, my pre-boil volumes to help nail down my system figures, however since i usually mash in at approx 2.5L/kg and get around 70% i'll try and bump up to the ~3L mark and have a crack at that and report back on it as well. cheers.

Happy B'Day to all that i've missed, :beer:

score !!! might have to try it out as well, might be an NT pricing plan ;)

hey kaitai these are the same as i posted over on grumpy's My Basic Porter http://users.bigpond.net.au/executive-outc...orter_Type.html My Old APA aka Little Creatures etc etc http://users.bigpond.net.au/executive-outc...ency_(APA).html English Style...

thats harsh, my old man gets the upset if i don't show up with homebrew to family functions :)

looks like i'm following ya around :) i tried to grow some in my dad's back yard down in katherine, it went great guns then just died. i'm yet to try it up here but i'm not overly confident that they would grow.

NT, sweet !! sounds like its all coming together. i might need to come to your place for the next demo :) oh, i've done the drive around for temp controllers, i think it would be faster to order one rather then get those vacant expressions or build your own. B)

hey ross, nope nothing yet, but i did find out why my stout marked so low..... i opened a bottle and i had mistakenly sent a porter :(

just use doc's converter thingy and it should be good to go.

well done batz and everyone else who made it i guess i'll just have to settle for some of the best beer in qld not the country :) good luck to everyone

crap, looks like i don't make it this year.. by 3 points!!! :angry:

well it won't be my kolsch with 45 points :P i thought it was the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and 60% of the score, hopefully the score sheets will help that out, or someone from the act will let us know.

can we email someone there and ask if they are ready ?? (not that i'm expecting to place or anything :unsure: )

you should try some of the bush towns up this way. nothing on tap your beers are, VB, XXXX, melbourne, Carlton Draught oh and Mid Strength. a person actually asked for what was on tap and the dude just blinked at them :huh:

the one thing i found with the vanilla is that it fades rather quicky. it might be best in the 2nd fermenter or putting some in the keg.

hey ooc, welcome to the fun !!
