I believe the low hopping rate of lambics (i.e. almost complete lack of alpha acids) would also lend the wort to 'spoilage', more so than a highly hopped APA for instance. anyway it certainly lends an edge of authenticity to the brew. i hope it turns out to be a happy accident for you....i guess...

i recall drinking an italian (i think) amber lager brewed with hazelnuts in it. cant for the life of me remember what it was called, but a very nice drop in a pretty bottle. caramel malts and hazelnuts are a pretty good pairing, methinks. cheers

I dont think that one is mine adam! mine would be the bottle where the label has probably fallen off, and (on tasting one last night) is vaguely reminiscent of a belgian blonde/dubbel but not nearly as good! no black malt, a little chocolate though. i was a little dissapointed with my effort...

if thats for CO2 then its not bad at all. did he mention bottle rental contracts or anything? could be the incentive for this bottler to become a kegger.

I've got one in primary at the moment. I decided to jump in the deep end; it was my first wheat beer so why not do my first triple decoction mash as well! anyway after a long and pretty hiccup free brew day i got 21litres of tasty wort and pitched the dry yeast Wb06 at 22C. It been fermenting...

i'm in the process of 'tuning' my new marga at the moment. i found that the crush differences between hand cranked and drill cranked were significant. in the end i ended up drilling 3 holes in the adjustor cap quite close to each other; they allow the widest possible feeder gap with 3 slightly...

I'll have to come to JSGA defence here as well. I think its a top beer. It is a lighter style, not big on IBUs or malt, but its got a bunch of amarillo on the nose and i'll applaud any commercial brewery that bothers to produce something with a hint of hop aroma, rather than iso-hop the arse out...

I'd happily take some of the longnecks off your hands, Have PMed you my details Cheers mate

i made a raspberry wheat last summer using a mixture of fresh/frozen berries and raspberry essence. I heated the berries up to around 70C to sterilise without producing pectins, and chucked them into primary with a kit, wheat malt extract, a couple of vanilla beans and a sprinkle of hallertau...

Yeah all the 1lt bottles have proper crown seals, green tinted glass and contained carbonated mineral water, which was what led me to consider them initially. Probably a good idea to do a test explosives run. I'll prime a couple up and quarantine them. tick...tick...tick... like a lazy molotov...

Hi all, Assessing alternatives to commercial beer bottles and PET; Thru work I've got access to glass mineral water bottles and was wondering, can they take the pressure? They are reasonably thick glass (750ml and 1lt) bottles from Santa Vittoria sparkling mineral water. Any ideas what pressure...

Thanks guys, i've had a look at Gaganis brothers- they've got a good range of cheap accessories (airlocks, paddles, etc). i ended up getting a 40litre ss electric urn off a grays online auction. probably paid a bit more than i'd planned - $200, but not too bad. i'll see how it goes as a brew...

Hi all, I've been sniping off the wealth of information available here to assist in the forthcoming move to...(drumroll)...all-grain. Very exciting times but my one sticking point is budget, or lack thereof. I'd like to find a cheap source of brewpots in adelaide. If any of the adelaide based...
