    Need help fixing my font

    Similar problem with our portable bar, one suggestion was to buy a 27mm spanner and cut a notch in it and then cut off the round bit and weld it to a long steel bar , pass the notch over the barb and tighten by turning the tap. Not ideal!

    windows 10 upgrade

    I love the transition I made to Ubuntu, even when I change hardware, I pull my SSD out with the OS, plug it into the new hardware box and off it goes, might have some custom drivers to install, but otherwise good to go. Try do that with Windoze....... BSD BSD BSD

    Food Gardening

    I have actually found a solution to this that works for me at least. After a meal of extra spicey food, a big dose of metamucil. For some odd reason it seems to reduce the after burn ---- flame on.

    Brewometer

    Hmmm, for lagers this would be cracker if you could tie it to the brewpi, ferment at 12c till 75% fermentables consumed, then raise to diacetyl rest temp for 24 hours, then drop by 1c/hour till 8c reached yada yada. Great concept.

    Using old Yeast as Nutrient

    I read somewhere that a boil of several hours will split the dead yeast open making their innards available, chill and settle and keep the liquid. I'll try find link.

    What are you listening to

    Audioslave on Pandora. I have to admit to a bit of a man crush with Chris Cornell at the moment, his voice is unique in my lifetime.

    15kg CO2 bottle

    Been around Geelong since 1984 and never heard of Postmix Pete, but that probably means squat! Good score if it is 15kg full, should last you ages.

    Wheat beer (hefeweizen) tastes a bit thin?

    +1 My mash regime for weizen is 61 to 63 over 40 minutes, 20 minutes at 70c followed by mashout. When I want extra phenols, I do single or double decoction, for some reason, in my system/process it really bumps up the perception of phenols, this is not something I typically do. Weizen is meant...

    S-189 Pitching Rate

    I pitch my dry lager yeast at the same temp as the wort, after chilling that is about 20c. Then drop the temp by 2c/hr until it hits 12c. The warmer wort helps the yeast get started. But, yeah, I use brewers friend calculator over Mr Malty and then use the cell density right off the Fermentis...
