Good point regarding wort temp. I now drop my probe :) sanitised and straight into the wort. As i use a S/S fermanter with cling wrap. I have never been interested in the whole air lock thing. So even in winter down here in Newcastle I pitch about 200mls of US-05 slurry at about 25 deg C. Leave...

Good good healthy US-05 wort should be fermented out in about 3 days. Much longer and its probably a bit too cold. I find no problems fermenting US-05 anywhere from 18 to 21 deg C. I certainly can not notice any diff. Therefore I choose the warmer temp and get it done.

I would like to give it a crack if I ever run out of my beer.

Either way, I brewed a ........ Who cares what it was, it's now a 1.057 OG of Pilsner malt. I used 75g of 2.1 Tettnang at 60min, and....... 200g in the whirlpool. The hydro sample burnt my tounge. I'm only just getting feeling back now. I just pitched a few packs of dry yeast I had in the...

Thanks bro. I was interested in Tettnang as I got 500g in a recent bulk buy but it was only 2.1% a/a. Anyway, this it what your linky said. Very interesting, although I have no idea what it means. Myrcene, humulene, and caryophyllene oils are all within the moderate range. While farnesene oil is...

I thought most dry yeast packs say to re hydrate or just sprinkle on to of wort. I have never noticed any diff with re hydrating so I'm a sprinkler.

I think that Mark does not give a fat rats tail to what people are saying on this thread. He has been posting so I'm sure he is sitting back laughing at everyone getting their panties in a twist in this viral thread. Mark has always been more than helpful when I have dropped into the shop. I...

Good move I would say

Well you won't do it again I bet, with Mark anyway

I can't believe anyone is dumb enough to pay for something in advance when you don't even know if he has it in stock, especially for the local guys who are picking up anyway. When I was using him for my orders, before I got in on the Sydney bulk buy ( when he said he was closing ) i just ordered...

A big American IPA

OK the results are in. Mashed it at 10 deg C, 30 min @ 50 deg C, then 60 min at 70 deg C, then 30 min @ 76 deg C. O.G. - 1.065 F.G. - 1.012 The late whirlpool hopping was good. Nice and bitter with heaps of flavour. The big surprise was the head on the beer. Even only after 2 days in the keg...

Kill this thread

Everything in moderation, except smoking. I can't see anything good coming from that

I've been a member since 2004. Believe me it's a real thing. First operation they went in through my gum under my top lip. The second operation went in through my nose. There was cancerous **** right up behind my left eye. Obviously it had nothing to do with dry July but its a good excuse to brew.

No good can come from a dry July. About 10 years ago I started the "dry July". I made it 28 days and then was diagnosed with sinus cancer. Was told that there was nothing that could be done and the surgeon said all he could do was pray for me. Well God came through, two operations later and my...

This thread is turning into some very cheap advertising for Mark. It should be renamed the Markshomebrew appreciation thread.

It's odd that Mark has not been on to comment on this thread.

Maybe a big Bock or similar, but really if your hand pumping out of a collapsible container I guess we are talking non carbonation at all. This really does not suit typical Lagers. Steve

DARK SIDE brewer. You dog :)
