This one I'm using a dry US 56. Previously I have used Thames Valley Ale Yeast II (Wyeast Labs #1882) and Dry English Ale (White Labs #WLP007). Mine were also based on Denny's recipe as well. cheers johnno

lol..nah Tony..its just the angle of the pic. Most of the soil is fine, especially what they are potted in, basically pure worm poo. I make my own compost and give them a feed every now and then. I'd say that they need a lot of warm weather which we have not had a lot of in Melbourne so far...

Had some time today so fired up the oven. First pizza of the rank. Next few are lined up.

yardy, yes I have twice before. last time was in 2006. the rye gives it a great taste, a bit sourish from memory. This is actually one of my favorite beers but unfortunately I do not brew enough. cheers johnno

Well my 2 larger bhut jolokias are still growing. Nowhere as fast as I thought and the weather has been very mild in Melbourne so far. Hopefully will get some chillies of them but there is no way on earth I am eating a whole one all at once. cheers johnno

Happy holidays brewers. We had yiros and turkey. cheers johnno

This sure can happen at times. The first one of mine I tried after bottling I was hit by wet cardboard everywhere. I was surprised as I had taken care to make this beer and could not understand where oxidisation may have come into it. I had to quickly try another bottle and was relieved to...

Well I have drunk most of these and whilst I am not the best at taking notes i do have very short ones upon initial tasting. So far the 2 standouts for me have been 2 mark_m - summer ale and 4 Rook - Pommie Bitter. cheers johnno

15 Quintrex - Saison de votre mre Can be drunk now or aged a bit more to let it mellow! Quintrex, this one had a very strong Listerine smell and taste. Could not drink it. Also started crawling out of the bottle after it was left alone. cheers johnno

I have just tried one labeled 25 but as far as I can tell this was capped at 24 brews. Is this the mystery brew that ended up in my crate? This one initially had a skunked aroma but has now subsided to grassy. Getting harder to tell after tasting quite a few. Finishes with a POR bitterness.

Well mine had 25 because I brought you an extra Reg. I must have mentioned it. cheers johnno

Reg, in Werribee area. cheers johnno

Just bottled mine today. Since I will not be attending Rooks place to wreak havoc, is there someone willing to take my beers up? I can drop off or pick up can be arranged. cheers johnno

To the brewers that have the DD dryer. What are the dimensions of one of those trays? They do not look very deep. Also, what is the maximum amount of jerky you can make on one. cheers johnno

oops.....this was going to be a SNPA clone but after stuffing up the 56gm of Cascade for flameout and adding them at the 30min instead of the Pearle it looks like it will be a standard APA. Damn..was looking forward to trying this. Suppose there is always next week. I'll post the final recipe...
