People are getting a tad worked up on the old Facebook I can tell you that! Not quite as much as they were over the Feral sale (I guess we are getting used to it) but a tad excited none the less.

I seriously don’t know why everyone gets so worked up about this kind of thing. Good on PL for cashing in, may they enjoy the rest of their days on their yacht or mansion or whatever. If you are not down with their new corporate overlords then stop buying their beer. If you are fine then carry...

I fully agree that there is always room for improvements and also that new blood is essential for this thing to continue into the future in a healthy fashion. However if the ‘old guard’ stepped back who who would actually do the work and run the comps? (I am not one of the ‘old guard’ by the...

What are people’s strategies for minimising hop sludge transfer into the fermenter from the cube in heavily cube hopped beers?

Donations of beer are irrelevant. You can't do that, it's not even obscure. If you don't have a producers licence and pay excise to the ATO you can't sell beer that you have made regardless of who is selling. Not to mention state and local council laws you would also be flouting. Just go with...

Well, Hobo is owned by a cordial company. I guess they got a bit confused!

Yep, it worked fine. Set it as per the comment above

Looks like the sparge arm from BeerBelly. I had the exact looking setup in my mash tun that they built.

I think they will be pumping Feral beer out of the gigantic Casella brewery sooner rather than later.

Don't feel too bad then as apparently they still fulfil the criteria for independence according to the IBA.

Well that wouldn't be inaccurate and isn't accuracy in labelling what everyone wants? Can't see it happening myself though. That being said if it has been transported cold then there really isn't that much of an issue. Furthermore if sweet euro lagers in green bottles are someone's idea of a...

I read this article too and found that while yes clear labelling is better for everyone, the author doesn't know much about the importance of beer freshness. This guy might know the law but when you are jumping up and down for the stale version of a crappy beer, your taste obviously is lacking...

Yes, I have drunk the decanted spent liquid off WY1318, WY1469 and WY1007. All delicious with a light spritz and only unhopped LDME. I was thinking of hopping my stater wort so I can give myself a tasty treat next time!

The interesting thing is that the IBA will never meet its growth targets as each medium sized 'craft/indie' brewery gets snapped up and no longer counts.

Looks like you read my mind!

Don't you think that referring to distillation from an analytical point of view to determine alcohol content as per ASBC protocols is a bit different from discussing distillation from a moonshining perspective? Are we really going to chastise LC over this because he dared utter the evil 'd'...

The real gold is getting their ESB off the hand pump at the brewpub in Manly.

I predicted this exact event.

Cannot agree with you more. That and the queued judging are top ideas.

I would be keeping it cold as it will most likely be infected.
