No probs culturing. Just want to advise a friend who freaks out at the thought of reculturing.. Figured I would give him an ideal answer (reculture) and a 'don't want to do any work' answer (dry yeast)... Life is all about options I suppose. Just checked out Craftbrewers website and they...

Howdy all. Just after some opinions. I am well aware of the need to reculture CPA yeast in order to replicate 'that' aussie pale ale ester profile. BUT what if you can't?? Or what if the starter fails? What would be your second choice yeast. Mine would be S-04, but just after some other...

ok... just wanted to tell the world, changed my mill to 1.18mm millmaster mini mill and got back to 85% eff. Had 2 brews in a row where I got 65-70 owing to milling too fine. I had it set on 1mm. Yeah... boring post I know... ummmm nice day outside! ;)

awesome isn't it!

Yeah, that is what I have found with all three of mine I put down over the last 4 years. The first two, I fermented with an ale yeast then added the lambic blend/dregs/ etc when racking into the glass, with an airlock. Bairly an oil dusty slick on the surface. Both awesome awesome lambics now...

Tony where are you fermenting?? Bucket ? Glass? I think it makes a monumental difference as to when you should expect some crustiness

bloody hell, you guys have stronger stomachs than I then. Squirt, maybe with my new, less meat centred diet the fungus amongst us won't morph into an internal brawl whereby huge quantities of gas are emitted as brawl byproducts. You are right though, quite healthy re: B vitimins. Which is my...

I hear ya yummy. I once took Charlie Ps advice to drink the sediment of some homebrew if you are hungover. HOLY SHITBALLS. I have never in my life farted with such ferocity. Seriously. It was like I had implanted a fart generator... never again. Charlie is still a frigging legend, but clearly a...

Bueller???

Just a quicky, Here has been my experience so far with efficiency. Heff-88 percent but upon looking at spent grain I noticed a fair few uncracked grains. My mill was set about 1.2 mm approx. For my next brew I milled finer at about 1mm and had TERRIBLE efficiency 70 percent. Both times I have...

Kegsy, I am looking forward to the next one... was it called Project Mayem... like 'Fight Club'?? Awesome night!

mmm it was... I got three lunches out of my take home pork-lolly bag. mmmm smoky..

hahha yeah all good.... see ya tonight!

Last chance before we pop it out on the street for the urchins ;)

See ya tomorrow! Ahhh we are such a welcoming club!

Posting this for a friend. He has a second hand fridge that he doesn't need any more. Works fine, a bit of cosmetic rust but would serve someone well as a fermenting fridge. Was owned by hippies in the past, so I reckon the good Karma will stay with the fridge. As long as you can pick it up from...

Swapping - SWAP BEERS MUST BE BOTTLED IN 750ml PET BOTTLES 1. Winkle - Saison Noir 2. NickB - somewhat beery-like substance with hops 3. Tazman1967 - Some sort of Belgian, Dubbel, Tripple or a Quad. Have to see what turns out best after conditioning. 4. Rowy - Couldn't out Florian Florian so it...

Ha I did the same.... If only I had enough room on my Meth Lab balcony for a smoker... Actually my cholesterol and waistline are thankful that I DONT have room! Bloody tasty though!

heheh yeah... i like it Adam... if everyone tastes at the same time it will lead to some great shots! Anyone else still frigging full from all the pork yesterday??? fark.

How about a 'This would taste better as vomit' award?????
