    How soon should I see a Krausen?

    As others have said, hydrate next time for quicker results. I used to do what you've done and it can take as long as 36 hours on occasion with US-05. If you're worried about it, pop the top and have a look. I used to be real panicky about taking the top off a fermenter but now I often do if I...

    I built a keezer

    Looks the business mate, I really like the stain against the black freezer. The one thing I regret not doing on mine was building a base, would have made it much easier to drain and move around. Have you considered some insulation around the inside of your collar? I don't know how much...

    The Chiko Handy Holder...you know you want one

    Screw you guys, all this Chiko talk and I had to go and get one. It was delicious. Took me back to when I was an apprentice and could eat whatever I wanted with no fear of the consequences. Sadly those days are gone...

    ******* bank. Even Travelex is offering 1AUD=1.0135NZD. I got stung because I didn't check. A week ago I got 1AUD=1.02NZD, with the same bank, just assumed it would be around the same. That said, the NZD been strengthening apparently. Edit: On the plus side, it was only a small...

    The exchange rate on the NZD right now. Just got 1AUD = 0.98NZD, WTF?! Did we lose a war?! I mean I know it's been a long time since we've won the Bledisloe, but this is an outrage!

    Show us your brewrig

    Just read this thread from page 1. So much stainless brew p0rn. I'm inspired, amazed and upset all at the same time. So many options, so little space, time and money...

    Lazy yak or Carlton draught?

    I found Lazy Yak to be a terrible beer, but nothing like Carlton Draught.

    Testify! I second this line of thinking. Fats good, eggs good, nuts good. Sugar (in the amounts it is used in most "Western" diets) bad. That said, nothing is bad or good, it's the dosage that matters.

    This is different from blood cholesterol though. They came to the (scientifically backed) conclusion that dietary cholesterol was not the hazard they'd previously thought it was and didn't directly translate to higher blood cholesterol. Much the same as many have now come to the correct...

    Eggs. I eat 3 eggs with some veggies in a frittata every morning for breakfast, blood work always shows slightly high total cholesterol, but the good to bad ratio is really good. Doctors have quizzed me about it a couple of times and the eggs is what they put it down to.

    What are you Brewing 2016?

    I harvested the yeast cake off my Octoberfest that tastes amazing and I'm going to pitch it into a Munich Dunkel this weekend. This will be my first of the style, but based on the success of my Octoberfest, I'm quietly excited about this one. Recipe: Munich Dunkel Brewer: BRB Asst Brewer...

    My micro brewery dream

    Just found this thread, inspiring stuff. Looks like there were some delays from your last post to opening Matty (approx 6 months). Not that I find that unexpected, but what happened? I'm guessing red tape of some description, but given your earlier posts it looked like it was all but over the...

    What are you Brewing 2016?

    But patience is a virtue Droid. Seriously though, it's the first time I've ever felt compelled to drink a full glass of beer straight off the cake.
