Not to mention you won't extract anything from dry grain.

Neither did I until I started to do it. You need a beard of a certain length for it to make sense......

Sorry Martin, I'm in NZ and my internets are a bit sporadic. Anyway I agree, carry on Mashers and well done!

No matter, worked out well in the end! [emoji106]

Thank you for using 'affect' and not 'effect' in your post. Otherwise I think my panties may have re-bunched.

There is actually quite a big difference namely the subject to whom you assign the verb to in a sentence. Yes they have a very similar meaning but even the definitions you have provided show the difference. Also why suggest that it's ok to be wrong just because it is 'everyday usage'. Anyway the...

I'm more offended by the miss use of the word infer when the correct word is imply. Seriously it ***** me and people do it all the time.

Wow people who didn't volunteer to help out for a comp whinging about how said comp is run. Never seen that before.......

Get an SS Brewtech brewmaster bucket. It has a conical(ish) bottom and works great, is cheap and crud compacts to the bottoms nicely. I bought a conical previously and now never use it. Unless you want to reuse yeast you really don't need a proper conical fermenter.

They couldn't give them away at my local bottle shop come 1/1/2000!! I've still got one somewhere......

Preaching a literal interpretation of the bible as the 'truth' and 'fact' is probably not going to garner a whole lot of respect to be fair. But I guess in the 21st century anything can be a 'fact' if you want it to. #AlternativeFacts.

Yep, that's totally what happened.......

Agreed. Fermentation fridge should be your next purchase.

That's the joy of being a reasonably big corporate entity (family owned or not). Probably not a great idea to piss off a whole bunch of your market with religious pig ****. Also a good lesson for Coopers as to who exactly makes up their market. Not just the rusted on oldies in SA who couldn't...

They joys of the internet I guess. Either way by excluding larger breweries from the CBIA is hardly going to result in any campaigning on their behalf for anything that would help smaller breweries. Just setting up an 'us against them situation'.

No, but if you want to represent small independent breweries have your name reflect that. Don't pretend you give a **** about bigger breweries (why should they?) and bleat about inclusivity when all you want from them is their membership fees. You can't have it both ways, rallying against the...

I think it's a bit naive to think that the small breweries aren't also in it for the cash (pretty bad business planning otherwise). The big boys just have the jump on them by 150 years or so!

If that is the case then a name change is definitely in order.

I don't understand why the CBIA didn't just start out as a body to represent independent, small craft brewers. The only reason I can come up with was that they were happy to accept the cash from Lion etc. to help the association get up and running. The big boys were always going to get booted...

+1 on expanding foam and good old builders bog.
