It was removed from the fermenter and keg'd @ 5 days (14th Feb)... bcos I thought it was the Kveik which doesn't usually benefit from any more @ 35c.

Update: Tasted it last night and it's not good, but it might eventually be drinkable. The first flavor to hit me was a buttery taste, indicating Diacetyl. It's the first time I've encountered this in any brew, and I can only assume it was due to the short fermentation, which didn't give the...

I've got a lager in the fermentor... I can blend post lagering, in small batches as a test.

As long as you didn't breath/cough over it, it should be fine. Next batch will have more trub. I just fermented lager @ 35c thinking it was kveik, and it worked, but I'm not sure what the result will be. Ale yeast are happy all the way to 30c and will survive to almost double that... but what's...

Style: Citra Pale Ale. I intended to use 1 sachet of Voss Kveik for a 5-day ferment at 35°C. What this fool did was use 1 sachet of Diamond lager yeast. I wouldn't have even known if it wasn't for the fact that I have 1 too many Voss Kveik and 1 too few Diamond. No, I didn't take a final...

Let me get this straight: from fermenter = tastes like you expect. after a week in keg = tastes too sweet. what happens on the 3rd or 4th week? Usually an infection will change the brew every day and after a week you end up with something tasting very weird, like mixing wine and beer. Without...

You had to laugh? You may want to read up on the Reserve Bank Act 1959. The RBA owns our money and they provide it as a service to the govment. Just ask Scomo if he can increase the cash rate. Btw the video was referencing the gov being able to control the validity of your money, which they...

No, finance. Finance is a term for the management, creation, and study of money and investments. Specifically, it deals with the questions of how an individual, company or government acquires money and what they do with it.

They're not tree huggers, that's just for show, they're communists. All the majors represent this agenda. I will be voting for minor parties who don't give their preferences to any major, and I am a real tree hugging, beer drinking libertarian. The issue Australia will face in the coming...

My only story about bottles: My very first brew ALL those dozens of months ago was at a DIY brew shop. I chose a dark lager from the menu and 120 bottles for $380. The recipe was using extracts, but I did not know the difference. Batch size was 50L, I followed the recipe and times with just a...

Your brew probably had a pH of 5, this will dull galivinized steal quickly I can provide photos to prove it. Perfectly safe to drink... unless it was all in a shot glass and even then would maybe just give you some stomach rumbles.

Folks I have no stake in the company nor am I trying to pimp it, however I was watching some youtube video about RO water and how it's bad for you unless you re-mineralise it. I get cramps now and again after breaking my back in 3 places from a paragliding accident, so I was on iherb searching...

Find a salty river or lake, evaporate the water to concentrate, get chemical analysis, market it and chaching. I was sceptical, but it actually provided a notable benefit to my work outs... I pad A$12, but I was impressed enough to try their other products, nothing to report there.

Was it a good addition? My other ieda was to make a cinnamon honey syrup which I could just spoon in to a glass when and if I wanted a slightly sweeter cider. Not sure how it's going to come out after the +5 weeks conditioning, but at 12 days fermentation it's bland and dry.

Not too concerned about the boron intake, we're probably looking at a ratio beer:40kvolts of 200:3 consumption 500ml/day. It's more the saltyness that I'm interested in... so have you tried making a larger with slightly salty water (Sodium Chloride) probably from sea salt? Those 40,000volt...

Howdy. I've got 20L of dry apple cider that I'm about to cold crash before kegging. Has anyone added cinnamon to their cider, if so how did you do it? All the recipes I've found online seem to use flat cider with cinnamon and a whole bunch of other ingredients.

Howdy. I've been taking these 40,000 Volts Electrolyte Concentrate mineral drops for about 3 months now and honestly they actually work for me and give me lots of stamina, mind you my water is RO and my deit is slightly low carb. Anyhow, in RO water the taste is foul, and it makes me want to...

My $0.02 of advice for my past self. 1.- Go straight to all grain. 2.- Don't waste your time with bottles, go straight to kegs. Everything else taught me things. You could possibly get away without using a fermentation fridge, by using pressure fermentation or specific yeasts, but I wouldn't...

I don't use any calculators... I wing pretty much everything, but I'm with @MHB on this, I think you need more strike. I've been using a ratio of about 3(strike):2(sparge) usually for a 23L batch I will have ~5kg grain, 15L strike and 10L sparge. Apart from one batch where I totally messed up...
