The makings of a Friday night mini Oktoberfest :)

Just curious. What will you be brewing after you finish with the ales and lagers?

+1 for the Paulaner Microbrewery. I did the walking tour that ends at the Hofbrauhaus. Agree that its a noisy place, but it does start at the Paulaner micro, so not all bad... You could always pack a dozen travellers in your back pack and head off to Neuschwanstein Castle for the day. Just...

I used bullet connectors for mine.

I am doubtful there will be an ISB get together before Xmas. The last one I recall was last October? At this rate, you might be better off starting up your own club. I'd be in :) You will have more luck bumping into some of us during Sydney Craft Beer Week. (You'll find me at Harts)

Chinook is away and racing. The Victoria is about half the size, due to it sending shoots to the edge of the planter before heading skyward. Goldings is the slowest. 1 shoot, 2 pairs of tiny leaves. At least it's not lodged in the intestinal tract of a brush turkey.

Tried a bottle of Epic Zythos IPA tonight. I've drunk my fair share of Epic brews since they started out and this is the only one I haven't enjoyed. Give me a Mayhem or Portamarillo any day.

Not a website deal, but I just picked up a box of Kopparberg from my local BWS for $30. Not my thing but it will keep the missus happy for a while.

Yeah, I have replanted the one that I found. Got some mesh over the planter, so I will wait and see. Maybe the other 2 have ended up under some cover and will send up some shoots so I can find them :-|

Really? Even with no rhizome in the planters they will still grow? These things really are tenacious then!

Over 2 weeks I planted up 3 1/2 wine barrels with just over 350L of media. Carefully planted a goldings, chinook and cascade rhizome (goldings 1st, the other 2 just yesterday) Goldings popped its first shoot up on Sunday and I had done everything except cover the barrels in mesh for protecction...

Sorry guys, but this bulk buy is a bust. We've all done our best and Pat has been a real champion, but without the numbers it's just been too tricky to make it work. Hopefully the next time one of these rolls around, everyones supplies will be running low and it will be easy to get a pallet...

Thank you for your replies. As it stands currently, one person has not gotten back to me and one is unable to commit to paying tonight. With adryarguments offer to bump his order to 6 sacks, we are only at 13 sacks total. Even though Pat has graciously offered to help us out, I can't really...

This bulk buy is closed now. I have PM'd everyone and I'm waiting for your replies. If we can't all wrap this up pronto, then it's entirely Pat's call as to whether this buy goes ahead with less than 17 bags.

Here's the latest update: Bairds Pale Ale Malt is out of stock, so Gobern, you will have to select another grain. Also, The current count is only 17, a long way short of the minimum 30. For the bulk buy to happen it's going to have to go with one of Pats orders. This will require Pat to juggle...

Only 5 days until this bulk buy closes(regardless of the count), so if you want to be part of it, now would be the time to chime in.

1. pimpsqueak ( 2 sacks: 1x BB Ale Malt, 1 x Weyermann Pilsner ) 2. kario ( 2 sacks: 1x Joe White Traditional Ale, 1 x Weyermann Pilsner ) 3. jimmyjackpot (2 sacks: 1x Weyermann Pilsner, 1x Weyermann Light Munich) 4. DJR (1 sack - 1x Briess Pale Ale Malt) 5. gobern (4 sacks - 1x BB Ale, 1x...

Optic is no longer available. Pat tried to order some last time and was told that it was a one off.

Whereabouts are you? I'm up in Berowra and will gladly pick up and hold it for you.

Just stumbled on 2 surviving bottles of my 1st attempt at an AIPA. Efficiency went all to hell and it was really an overly bitter APA. 15 months later and I'm wishing I had kept a lot more bottles in a dark and forgotten corner. The fruit punchiness (Citra and Amarillo) has become really...
