Ok so I have 8 weeks left in this place until I am off for a few years to the US. Given that I want to build/buy a swish brewery whilst over there I am disposing of some of my current kit. I have two brews left ot do so this is available as of start of March - Perth only due to size. You...
Yep I wanna come and see the brewery in action (still haven't seen it), get some tips for all the bling I can get in the US. Hopefully plans wont change between now and the date.
Mellies summer ale I had tonight bloody tasty and very refreshing almost like a fruity APA but not if that makes any sense. Never tried Nelson Sauvin hops but assume that was a good part of the flavour. Very nice, shame there was only one.
Must confess I drank another two last night but can't...
I did this on my last brew as the kettle was very full and I didn't think my spray bottle was going to cut it. I shall blame any faults in the brew on this :D
No expert but it is used in a lot of stuff from wine to foods so within reason I am sure it is not a problem but stirring it into your cup of coffee in the mornings is probably not advisable :P

Rainy Zephyr Pale Ale.
Appologies as I had had a few by the time I cracked this one. Slight haze from memory, aroma didn't have hops but kinda yeasty which was nice. Carbonation was spot on, tasted bloody great and I was wishing my keg had that in it. Top drop and my pick of the case to date...
Yet to try oaking Jye but its something I want to do soon. Have been wondering how the shavings/chunks go in a beer so will be interested to hear how you go.
Do people do anything with the chips like roasting in an oven etc before chucking in?
HillBilly's Pale
Opened it and it looked flat? Poured it and it was vigorously carbed :) settled down after a few minutes. Very clear beer, with a spritzy carbonation. Pretty clean taste to it no major hops jumping out, Can taste a little extract twang? Easy drinking brew this one.

Personally I would back off a few IBU on this one, the kegged half of it was quite bitter but also much hoppier :) Oh and I reckon more chinook at the end

Simon's Green Tea Lager
Poured with a thin head which lasts the glass. Mine seemed a bit under carbed? Could be me chilling it in the freezer? Definitely a green tinge to it and a nice aroma of tea & malt no noticeable hop aroma. Lovely taste to it, some tea and malt in there and neutral...
A couple of days is about as long as you need.
To be honest I find it easier to add them to the keg. I just keg and chill. A few days before I want to drink I add the finings to the keg and pop it back in the fridge. I think you will get a clearer beer adding to the keg.
This has been SOLD :)
Time to start clearing some excess stuff I have. Prefer this to be pickup in Perth as posting will probably be a PITA so first dibs to perth people.
Cooler is virtually new, used as an esky (!) once for a party and has been sitting in the shed since. Goes to the highest...
