I aim for 23l into the fermenter, what I find is with wort contraction due to cooling, and the losses due to not wanting to get trub into the fermenter is that I end up with a fair loss as well as the evaporation losses. Everybodys system will likely be different and what I tried to do was set...

New podcast http://www.brewsnews.com.au/2016/02/radio-brews-news-episode-77-bronzed-brews-2/ Covered some different issues from the Basic Brewing podcast. Cheers Peter

I am sure that there are more brewing logs out there - it is a question of finding out where and then getting access, which is tricky. The Swan brewery closed - but where did the brewing archive go?? Hopefully not in a skip! Thanks for your concern I am still keen to fill in some more gaps. Peter

My understanding is that The Brew Shop is the White Labs Distributor so they would seem to be the obvious choice. I think we need a system like a bulk buy where those interested commit to buying WLP059 then the Australian total could be added to those already in the Yeast vault - as of today we...

You should try for a grainy and husky malt I have not used BB Pale. I got my Castle 6 row lager malt from The Brew Shop The easy way to make No1 invert is to buy Tate and Lyles Golden Syrup (not CSR it is far too dark) and mix in the right amount of good molasses - I use Beerenberg The...

Thanks Bribie glad that you are enjoying The Book. I stress checking the Lulu homepage for their regular Discount Coupon offers. Currently only US members of the White Labs Customer Club are allowed to vote in the Yeast Vault - we need 238 more people to vote for it (them) to get to 250...

Well you would know being the originator of that rumour! Totally baseless and without any foundation whatsoever. P1

Thanks for that yes the Group B should be labelled - B American. P1

Ah hopefully with you now - No - as all the Americans were in a group together so the highest scores across the whole grouping of APA, AIPA, ABA become 1st 2nd 3rd etc per the Competition Entry details. P1

Ok to answer your questions On the sheet there are 3 columns for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and there are 4 rows for each of the competition groupings A B C and D So using Group B American as an example Colin was first, Andrew was second and Barry and Matt tied for third. Similarly read left to right...

Hi Everyone, Well it's a big thanks to ESB Brewing Supplies for providing the judging venue yesterday. Unfortunately the aircon seemed to be out of action! So it's an even bigger thanks to those brave souls who judged and stewarded, the 89 entries (including 12 meads), yesterday And the...

Bribie G has made the correct interpretation Cheers Peter

To clarify the only permitted styles for our competition are per the entry criteria, see the first post in this thread. So a Vanilla Porter would not be accepted or judged. Cheers P1
