I used to rack to a secondary fermenter...I thought it was one of the major steps to improving my beer. I then experimented with 2 brews...one I moved to a secondary, the other I simply left in the primary for an extra week. Based on that, I now leave it in the primary for minimum 2 (often 3)...

Top post :icon_chickcheers: Think I best get me an urn :)

Screwy...furry muff...I was just pointing out the obvious is all. No need to fight nature when you can have it work for you.

Smartarses everywhere :D Just trying to contribute...I wasn't suggesting this was the problem, just that in the southern hemisphere it would make more sense to go anticlockwise.

I doubt it's any help...but the first looks like my Chinook. My chinook also grew like crazy compared to my POR and Tettnang.

I know nothing about whirlpooling...but wouldn't you do it anti-clockwise in Australia?

My Chinook went crazy...two rhizomes turned into about 4kgs of wet cones...have so far dried, ziplocked and frozen 300g. I need some kind of vacuum sealer. My POR produced much less...guessing about 150g dry (still drying), and Tettnang negligable, and what cones were produced got distroyed...

I used to rack to a secondary...but now that I have temperature under control I am more than happy for everything to sit in the primary for an extra couple of weeks. It's less effort, and I get the same result.

Mine are going crazy too...they have all hit 4.5m and I have lowered them...sort of a pully system...one of them (Chinook...pretty sure anyway, a little bit of uncertainty between Chinook and Tettnang...it seems permanent marker on plastic is not UV stabilised :D ) is going bananas. Actually...

Mate...it's a package deal. The problem is not that I want to sell them, it's that they are in the ACT and I'm in Albury ;)

Hey guys...if anyone is interested, these items are temporarily up for grabs again. I have paid Bigbird the cash...and he is currently kindly storing them but it's looking like getting them delivered to Albury will cost $65. I'm not keen on that...you probably wouldn't be either :D My plan...

That's OK...I'm actually "from" Echuca...I live in Albury :ph34r: :D

Yep chiller and mashtun...thanks again

I'm in Albury by the way :-)

No probs...as long as I can get a thermometer to fit. Yep, sussing of postage would be great...cheers

Sounds good to me...let me know how you want the cash.

Not sure what is going on...but if I can... 500

Shouldn't you only prime directly directly before bottling/kegging?

Hey mate...I'm interested...what sort of money are you asking?

You're probably right...I think I'll stick with gelatine at the mo...I like the idea of keeping the yeast active...and pretty happy with my beer at the moment.
