I use a paint masher, from Dulux paint centre. It looks identical to the blue Masters one in the link. But it is red, so mashes harder. Cheers, D80

Sounds good to me. I am mobile, have party keg setup, though not sure that would fly at a local pub. Fan of the sample session idea. Even more a fan of it being within a few KMs of my house so I can walk home. Will have my first APA, my Xmas Ale and possibly a Aussie Pub Ale available by the...

Brewing has to be the most space intensive hobby I have ever had. Dominates my 25sqm shed. Just enough room for a bait freezer and fishing rods left over! I store in metal cupboard in bag, or on shelf in 60l tubs in bag. 1 60l tub has all me spec malt in it and the bait freezer sorts out the...

Credit card thickness here. BIAB, 75-84% depending on squeezing. Run through once with a drill. have not used Rye but have milled wheat. All grains together. Cheers, D80

The only lagers I have made I have mashed lower for a drier finish. 64 deg or thereabouts. 67 seems a good idea for a mid strength beer but could be sweet if a full strength grain bill. Or is 67 you Mash In temp (which will then drop a couple of deg?). Sounds like diacetyl or its nasty sibling...

Greenwood, seriously just up the road.

I let the pellets run free in the boil, then whirlpool at the end before no chilling. No point bagging them (for me) as I add more into the cube anyway, not bagged in there either. Cheers, D80

Never knew I had two brewers so close to me! Hops look good. If you get too many next harvest drop me a PM i will magic some away :)

Hydro is out. Wort probably too warm when measuring?

Fishing here. Surf fishing, land based only.

Does the RiS come with its own franger? Must be good!

I can't join it now, because everyone will know who I am. I will just have to assume someone else's identity and glean what i need..... Cheers, D80

If anti-facebook could be personified. It would be me.... I did a computer forensics course, as a result of what i learned, the last thing i want to be doing is putting all my **** out there for all to grab a hold of. You would be amazed how much information ppl leak by joining FB and other...

Confirmed!

I am active all the time. Stalk the forum at work, login via the AHB app on mobile, jump on randomly through the night. Since i BIAB you saying I should head over to BIABbrewer? any perthies on there Bribie?

This, retake last photo with a pint of your best proudly on display. Looks really good btw. Cheers, D80

The larger volume argument is basically in regards to Output for Hours invested. If you have bags of free time and wish to invest it in this hobby, golden! If you have kids (two under 2 here) and your brewing time is rare as rocking horse ****, then 1 brew done over 4 hours once every other...

So I should be Lagering in the keg not in the fermenter in the fridge? Cheers, D80

Sponge has it sussed. My experience 100%. Currently I have 2 20l cubes of wort from 10 days ago sitting in a large esky in the shade in the shed. When ready I can pitch one or both of these. 2 kegs getting gassed now. Will pitch them when I start on the kegs. In 4 to 5 week's when kegs are...
