Can't recall the $$... I bought the kolsch, a small chimay blue (2005), a bottle of bass and two wiehestephaners (sp) for $30. Only 5 kolsch's left on the shelf as of today... was around $22 for the six pack, but that had been split. dreamboat

I think that is a bit much, however, I get my valves through work, so pay less for things like that. Just quoting a job now with 30 1" 3-piece valves in it... good valves for $30ea, great valves for $40 each. 2 piece should always be cheaper again. dreamboat

Hi all, Today I stopped in at a bottleshop and picked up a bottle of Reissdorf Kolsch. It has been my understanding that getting a Kolsch outside of Germany was fairly difficult, so I jumped at this chance. Can anybody tell me whether this beer is a good representation of the Kolsch style, or...

Is "ducks nuts" not a common term here???? That would explain some of those odd looks which I get :) dreamboat

I find a hand saw to be quite a neat way to cut polystyrene, will make a lot of mess, but you end up with a neat enough edge. If you go the hot wire path, you may have to build a big jig to get enough reach across the sheet. dreamboat

True enough Sam.... but, otoh, could be a complete waste of $40 if the resultant product is not up to standard. dreamboat

$1000 seems pretty exe. I would think you could get something much cheaper for the same job.... And I agree with all the other posters - get thefridge temp set low, and then use an external controller to set it at whatever temp you like. dreamboat

That is a strange one allright.... the tube does look a a bit on the thin side though..... most tube, say 6x4mm (od x id) will be rated to 1000KPa+ so, check your regulator, and if that is not going over pressure, then there must have been a weak spot in your tube. dreamboat

This has been updated in the last few days since it was first listed here... I have a feeling that things will get very interesting over the next week or so. Stay Tuned. dreamboat

Hmmm..... hop pellets do not (as far as I know) contain any "chemically modified alpha acids" with the process of making pellets being one of purely mechanical means. dreamboat

I wonder if you can get "stubbie" coolers for those bad boys..... Could get a bit warm by the end otherwise. dreamboat

March pump on your first all grain..... you are a real brewer.... more real than me, that is for sure. dreamboat

You are right there mikem.... those pelicans are a pita if they get caught up in your mill, and are a possible cause of the poor efficiency that some have reported with this malt. They really do not convert well at all, even with a multi temp or decoction schedule! ;) dreamboat

Is that a cigar she is holding???? Those things will kill you don't you know. In the words of Father Ted "Down with this sort of thing" dreamboat

Hi all, Temp controllers are now all sent, and some of you may see them in todays post :) dreamboat

At prices like this, I think organising a bulk buy in competition will do more harm to the brewing community in terms of future availability of local grain. Something to consider.... dreamboat
