looking good! See ya there Jon?

I'm going to order these: L6250 Sample vials with screw caps, 50mL at least they're heat resistant and re usable.

Hoegaarden bottle with a different yeast than used for the main fermentation. If you want a Wit to grow from the bottle try La Trappe wit. I have had good results culturing from Rochefort and Westmalle.

Spread it thin on the garden, makes great cheap mulch..

The Hoegaarden yeast can give you a decent beer. But are you aware that they ad a different yeast when they bottle? If you want a good white yeast from the bottle try La Trappe or a Schneider weisse, they bottle with the yeast from the primary fermentation Welcome back to brewing though, hope...

Depends on what you want to do... An interesting brewery is 't IJ www.brouwerijhetij.nl They brew in a windmill.. or de Arendsnest if you're after a beer pub. or else there are plenty of Irish pubs if you want to do the st pats thing. Better still, head into the Jordaan and find yourself a...

90 degree wort would create an overpressure in the fermenter by heating the air, not sucking much air in. Only after it cools down will it suck in some air, but I doubt that the wort would be cool enough for yeast to take. Lambic brewers use wide open cool tubs that offer maximum exposure of...

I suppose a lot of people drink soft drink for the sugar high.. Yes I reckon, I would drink it without the alcohol, as it tastes so good, and is not as sweet as the carbonated sugar water.

Beg to differ... It is a strong wheat beer... If you are after the yeast, use wyeast 3463 Forbidden Fruit.

Don't blow the budget at Bunnings. I picked up a 10 cm grinder from Kmart for 19 dollars and one of 1mm discs you have there 2 weeks ago. 45 minutes later I have 2 vessels ready to brew... just pick up some ear and eye protection B) happy cutting!

Any Ice beers.. Ice = tasteless

The Trappist glass is a Westmalle glass.. A real oldie, be very proud with having that one All the news ones have it printed instead of etched.

Great to see this is going ahead despite the palarva that's going on in town!!

Alternatively stick it in the fridge for a few days, that slows the metabolism right down. The night before pitching take it out of the fridge and let it aclimatise. Pictch at room temperature and it will take off OK.

12 gram is not a lot of hop to add to a 23 liter batch. Instead of using the teabags go to your LHBS an see what hop pellets they have. Take 25 grams of Saaz or what ever takes your fancy, boil for a few minutes and strain. Ad that to the wort, and I think you will find more aroma.

My hands don't shake, and I rarely have one before noon. In my books that disqualifies me. :rolleyes:

I plan on using it in an ale that should turn out like an Old Speckled Hen. It's part inverted sugar, so should ferment like the clackers!

I just love civil disobedience...

If I'm not mistaken light strike requires sunlight / UV light... Alternatively you could wrap alu foil around the lamp, that way you get the heat but not the light..
