I have used this malt a few times and have found it to be an excellent malt for my house beers which are usually APA's bittered to about 50 IBU. I have found it to be cloudy though but that may be due to the Yeasts I have used with it so far which include, 1056,1332, US56 dry and the Nottingham...

I got a teddy bear and a carwash kit , also a beer glass. Happy Fathers Day. cheers johnno

Sad day indeed. cheers johnno

I had a short one in my 45 litre tun for 2 1/2 years with not too much problems. I only had one stuck mash in all that time. I now have a longer braid and the only difference is that I don't have to tilt the tun to get the end of the runnings out. I used a hacksaw with a 5 year old blade and...

Funny to see they are still offering a video tape. What about a DVD?. Who on earth still uses videos? cheers' johnno

Glad it went quicker this time. cheers johnno

Due to unforseen circumstances this batch is up for the taking again. PM me if you want it. Otherwise I i may just get of my lazy unbrewing at the moment arse and make a giant barley wine. cheers johnno

Hey that is awesome wabster. Good to see you got them there ok. That is what we want to see. The progress of the babies ;) cheers johnno

PoMo, with my current setup I start with 40 litres of water. I use 20 to mash in with, hit mash temp and hold it for an hour then drain into the kettle. Then I use the remaining 20 to sparge out with. This batch of water is at 85C. Quick and easy. Always get my efficiency right which is at...

I have a 45 litre esky and have never done a double. I just cannot be bothered. I get 75% efficiency and that is good enough for me. cheers johnno

If the crowd is not used to drinking homebrew I would make something quite simple. 100% ale or pils malt. Mash at 64 for a nice thin body and bitter to about 25 IBU max. That will learn them. cheers johnno

Tony, Don't knock what can be found at Aldi :P cheers johnno

I'm doing my good samaritan bit for the brewing hood. :P cheers johnno

Gnome, There have been a couple of other claims for it from earlier today. If they fall through I'll let you know. cheers johnno

I have an oversupply at the moment and would rather give it away than feed the local birds. I have about 20-25 kg of ale and there is about 3-4 kg of melanoidin(probably weyermann). You will need to bring your own container/sack as I need the one it is in now. Pick up in Werribee. First in...

Now that is something I would love to get for the brewery. Too bad they are not for sale over here. cheers johnno

Mercs Own. I just normally use the garden hose to fill up my HLT. I have no problem with that. Once the boil goes off for an hour or more nothing is left but malt, hops and water :) cheers johnno

I wouldn't worry about filtering water. I have made all my brews using Melbourne water without any filtering and they have all been fine. Unless you are sourcing your water from somewhere else why would you bother with filtered tap water in Melbourne? cheers johnno

I get my glasses at places like the Salvo's and op shops etc. Don't know if you are in the city, but if you are they are a good place to start. cheers johnno
