sorry just my bad post I knew what i meant :wacko:

sorry back in all the other stuff i mention the wheat extract

that helps , thanks , DOH :D now to the question although I feel I have enough information to make a brew , assuming it as the name suggests is hop driven

Sorry I am lost with the 3 letter acronyms what is HTA HTA5 and HTA4 I assume you are saying the first three ingredients in this brew are the same so if i use dried malt extract to give the right level of fermentables using brewmate then add the wheat extract proceed withe hop additions...

I make my brews with extract is it possible to substitute something for the maris otter and munich

Would have been helpful if I included the word thermometer after hand held :lol: I knew what I meant

my original statement Only yesterday I had the dirts with my fermenter could not read the temperature with the coloured strip used a hand held in the liquid to confirm temperature before adding yeast those strips have a short life and are difficult to read saw this today...

I do use a temperature controlled fridge in summer and a temperature controlled heat pad sometimes in winter this device is only to check the temperature before adding yeast I normally check with the strip which is stuck on the side of the fermenter , but those strips do not last long and you...

I may have missed my point this was instead of the strip you glue on the outside of the fermenter not the accuracy etc just want to check before yeast addition and then putting into the temperature controlled fridge which is only to one degree anyway cheaper than the strip getting off the...

I have used these before , http://www.ebay.com.au/bhp/empty-tea-bags but now just chuck the hops in They come out at racking if you have the thingo in the back of the tap and also a bit in the bottle won't hurt , don't know about kegs

If you bottle to early , from personal experience , you will have two outcomes 1- the CO2 will escape from the seal particularly if it is a soft silicon seal or an old original seal 2- they will explode make sure they are in a milk crate which will give some safety , but not guaranteed I...

IMHO the splashing etc of boiling water does 3/5 of next to nothing unless the area ( and it would need to be the whole of the equipment in question ) to which you are applying the 'boiling water ' to reaches more than 70 degrees it does nothing more than a rinse

It did not come out the way I meant it too , what I meant to say was that many years ago beer was made under primitive conditions , but it worked for them

Remember beer was made using wild yeast yeast and open clay pots :blink: also we use a lot of ingredients that are not pasteurized yeast gelatine made from horses hooves sugar and dextrose for bulk priming dry hopping bottle caps to name a few , all possible sources , and most safe

would like to run a survey to see who does not add tap water to their brew particularly those does who do kit and kilo , or extracts like me

I wash and sanitize after each brew , take the tap apart , hydrometer , two part airlock everything when I make the brew , usually stovetops , wash and sanitize as above I sanitize with PSR and rinse with Sydney Tap water , why not the water to bring the batch to 25 litres is from the tap...

I would pay to get the recipes maybe in book format
