Mate, that's a lovely looking setup.

There's the key right there. Style dependent.

I read recently that this was how Coopers first got the idea for their Special Old Stout. To quote: "Special Old Stout (many people incorrectly called it Vintage Stout) was essentially the old recipe of Best Extra Stout - when it weighed in at 6.8%ABV - with a minimum of 6 mths bottle age...

Got redirected to this thread, not after any resurrection brownie points. I would ponder the point with BA beers regarding what is their actual best. I have had some of these of varying ages (never had the opportunity or thought to though), but havent made a point of holding multiple beers of...

Reminds me, found this in my shed t'other day. Had forgotten it ever existed, doing a dive through the 'Coopers' threads to give something like this a go.

Cube of Belgo Golden Ale to go into 200L collab barrel on nectarines with Bootleg Biology Sour Solera.

How do you find your brew consistency goes, I've been frustrated with that in the past and going as far as a rudimentary and necessary water chemistry basic level has made a massive difference to sort out that aspect of my beer quality. And running my house tap water for brewing through a inline...

All my beer storage (HB and commercial) is under house, an open area (with slatted walls - old style defence force/housing commission) with concrete pad that formerly was intended to park a car but wasnt feasible, surrounded by open soil. Keep it as far down the back as I can and under...

Love the little 'odd' process tips that just make the difference with having a efficient and clean work space there mate. Am just moving into the 'bottling and moving around from/and with keg' space myself.

"You really think so, dada da dah dah dah duh".

Thanks Steve. I've recently moved to Brewfather ( from an old bodgy version of brewmate) which has the water calcs embedded. If you had water I'd be all over it as I prefer to support local where possible. I might see if I can put together my own table of style specific figures from it (could...

@Brewman_ I like that it has the mash steps. You don't have a water chemistry calculator in your software?

That's some excellent work there by the brewer.

Bit of helpful info here https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-czech-dark-lager/ Slow Lane currently have some on their site, is a great beer. https://slowlanebrewing.com.au/collections/beers/products/check-in-the-dark-czech-dark-lager-5

a) Without temp control, in your situation and knowing what I know now, I'd just whack the original kit ingredients in with half a sachet of a saison yeast and let it play out now we're coming into the warmer months. You also have the kveik yeast option as well. Both will work with your...

As with Philrob, I replied to your other post. Welcome. One thing I'd recommend, ask around on here and see if there's any brewers or brew clubs in your area. It's easy after a while when the glow and excitement of playing withn a new toy by yourself wears off, to throw it in . There'll be...

A practice I used before I had the means to chill my wort down to pitching temp was have about 8 large soup cans (which had been cleaned and rinsed in boiling water) (also opened on the top using one of them horizontal top mounted can openers *culinaire magican that take the entire top section...

AGM/Oktoberfestivities coming up a fortnight this saturday.

Hmmm, "ready to launch soon". Haven't heard anything around up here, but looks somewhat likely. I'll ask around. *Seems there's been talk of it for around 12 months.

I'm actually in Tuns, a good cluyub, good fellas, great brewers.
