Bah, 1 pack of US05 does 23L easy. 2 will do 50 no problems. Underpitch, maybe. But I use 1 pack dry in all beers. Hell even nottinghams pitch rate is 2 packs per 23L. If I did pitch 2 packs I reckon the fridge door would blow off! It will do it easy with 2, 3 would be safe as houses. Cheers, D80

The bottled ones are normally about 50% more carbonated than the cask equiv. This is not a scientific measure mind. Also if you smash a beer through a sparkler the CO2 will come out of the body of the beer to form the head and will be much flatter than a normal pour / pull / draw. What ales...

FYI, Beer in a keg conditions much faster than in a bottle. If you can keep you hands off the tap that is. 7 days in keg, cold @ serving pressure will carbonate the beer as well as perform a cold crash to settle out floaties etc. It will therefore clear your beer and carbonate it. That is a win...

Or keep them for a party keg setup! Cheers, D80

Get bigger bottles mate, 18L stainless ones. :super: Cheers, D80

It will pass as soon as the Mrs is allowed a drink again, that is literally the only thing that has changed. Google up on The phenomenon where men suffer sympathy symptoms: Couvade Syndrome. The only other plausible explanation is Voodoo. Mrs stocked up the sewing kit lately? Disclaimer: I am...

I brew this way often. Generic / neutral bittering addition at 60 for say 15 ibu. then 10 to 15 ibu in cube of hops. last time round was EKG @ 60 then fuggles / cascade in the cubes. UK ans US yeast respectively and 2x different beers! Cheers D80

40 deg wont kill them. If it cooled to 20 in < 3/4 hours then beer will be fine. Ride it out! Cheers, D80

Dan, the cube shrinks overnight. If you have the seal right on the lid (dont over tighten when hot) then you will know when you have packaged one right. You can keep them for a fair while. I normally pitch next day in case i bugger the seal up, but a good one I would keep no worries. If it...

They have an alarm? What fridge model is it? BF-163? Cheers, D80

Niz, I use whirfloc in kettle. in a 60L boil with 54L in kettle at end i use 2x tablets and put them in at 10 to go. I whirlpool hot and the stuff works! Biggest beer was 1.060. I start a whirlpool, lid on and walk away. Come back and it looks awesome and then i no chill into the cubes. I...

O/T My BIAB way more simples than your BIAB! The complexity is strong with this one (looks awesome btw). re the boil: have you thought about insulating your Urn? That will help heaps, though difficult giving all the bits hanging off the side of your urn. There were some good examples on here on...

I often pitch at about 25-30 for ale yeast and have the fridge bring it down. So long as you get it down within the first 4 to 8 hours you will probably know no difference. I can't get away with 40 degs as I have 2x fermenters in the fridge when i do it. Drops reliably at 3/deg/hr with. Edit...

Mozz Kookaburra branded water cubes in 20l variety from BCF are awesome. After their first no chill they handle 23l. 21 on the maiden run.

I thought none of the Wallabies squad was good enough to play for England? From what I saw, I think that should have read none of them are mad enough to play for England. Very consistent and applied performance by Australia, didn't need any real flare to roll the old foe. Just kept the heat on...

Brew the coopers all grain knockoff recipe off these forums (may have to search a while to find it - don't have it to hand). The POR and combined with coopers yeast @ 17 degrees (3 stubbies dregs in a 1L starter) and it is magnificent. Tell me there is nothing positive about it after that...

Target or Northdown both work well in bittering only beers.

Bloody misogynists! Cheers D80
