Alehouse will be my choice too, although they don't have as many taps as Taphouse so I'm guessing they won't have as big a selection.

Yep, the meeting is going ahead this Sunday from 12pm at the Naval Association Hall in Graham St. Bring some homebrew and something to chuck on the BBQ.

I have a recirculating eBIAB system. I found that the swiss voile had too fine a weave and would get clogged. I now use a BIAB bag that I bought from G&G, which has a much more open weave. I have had no problems using it even with 60% wheat.

I left wort in the fermenter for 2 days before pitching yeast once and the beer turned out fine. I don't rehydrate yeast so can't help you there.

No thanks, just stubbies.

Does anyone have a few boxes of stubbies (bottles that is, not the shorts) that they no longer need? I'm happy to pay a reasonable price or exchange for a few full bottles. Cheers, Aaron

Are they all the same sort of bottle or are they different types? In boxes?

I did an experiment where I pitched different amounts of 3068 and fermented at different temps. Pitching rates had a big impact on how long it took to ferment but had little effect on ester formation. Ferment temp had a much larger effect on ester production, higher temp = more banana. These...

I have tried both the D2 from G&G and the D180 from candisyrup.com (bought some last time I was in the states). Straight out of the packaging I thought they tasted very similar, although if I recall correctly the D180 may have been slightly more acidic. I can't comment on whether they taste...

A couple of bottles of your finest will seal the deal. PM me to arrange collection.

I have 2 dozen bottles you can have. I also suggest going to the next home brew comp as there are usually lots of empties floating around afterwards.

Does anyone know of a supplier of Belgian beer bottle corks and cages in Australia? Craftbrewer hasn't had any for quite a while.

Thanks for the very comprehensive answer Adr_0.

I've also been wondering whether insulation should be shiny side in or out. I went for shiny side in as I reasoned that it would reflect the radiant heat back towards the pot. Does anyone actually know which is right?

I do this too, never had scorching.

I agree with Manticle. I just made what I think is my best hefeweizen to date using a step mash. I can't remember the rest times, but the temps were 53, 63, 72, 78. I didn't decoct, just applied direct heat to increase the temp. Grain bill was 50/49/1 wheat/pils/acidulated. I probably slightly...

Wyeast 1581 - Belgian Stout It's from the Ellezellois brewery in Belgium and is used in their Hercule Stout. I have used it and it gives some very nice esters. I think it's a PC strain so it might not be available. I can send you a slant if you like. It reminds me a little of Wyeast 3711 French...
