I noticed that Fermentis have updated this doc too in this link: https://fermentis.com/tips-n-tricks/for-you-brewers/ I have one question for anyone that may be clever enough to offer suggestions... Between the two documents they seem to have included one new point in the "rehydrating with...

Seeing as this looks to be the biggest thread on MJ yeasts I thought I'd post my findings on the M36 - Liberty Bell yeast. Used it on a rye APA and was impressed with its quick take off. I have experienced slow starts with both the M44 and especially the California Lager M54 strain - but this...

I've been wanting to leave my thoughts on this strain after trying a bunch of mangrove jacks yeast lately. I brewed a dr smurto golden ale thinking that this yeast might work well as a balancing force between malt and hops. I've made it before many times so it was a good one to test out...

No real preference here. They both work well for me. Yes you can buy a hop sock bag or stainless mesh cylinders from eBay.

I have done this a heap of times in the keg and specifically with Citra. I find it gives no grassyness like some suggest and gives good hop hit till ththe keg blows. Just make sure you contain them in something and account for the swelling once the pellets absorb some beer.

My recent experience with this As I’m just crash cooling a saison with this now: It didn’t look as I would usually expect when rehydrating. I actually thought it was dead yeast but still pitched it due to my unfamiliarity with this strain. Pitched at 26 deg and it was fermenting after 10 hours...

This is a pretty cool solution I saw. Don’t know how much volume is needed for everyone’s setup, but you could use bigger jars.

I've made a Double IPA with all kiwi hops, it was a potently hopped thing. Used Riwaka, Pacifica & Motueka. What I took away from that is to never dry hop heavily with Pacifica unless you want extreme grapefruit pith! Took a few months to mellow but prior to that...fark me!

If anyone knows where to get some Nelson, please let me know! Its been sooo long since I've seen any for the Homebrewer.

After needing a reset of the tastebuds, I knocked out this one using the rice. I fermented with S189 yeast at 13 degrees and did the brulosophy lager (ramp) method. Went from 1050 to 1010 in just 6 days. I was sceptical at first as there was a fair sulphur pong, but after a week lagering at -1...

Mine didn't do very well last year. It only grew about two meters tall (with one runner) and didn't flower. I think this is because its very pot bound and needs to be transplanted. It has taken off with alot more vigour this spring with a dozen or more runners. Im going to transplant and hope...

I just made my first keg of cider from supermarket juice for the missus. Its bl**dy unreal, so easy in comparison to AG brewing. 20l Aldi apple juice 500ml boiling water with 5 teabags in it Yeast nutrient ... and now the secret.... 2 x https://www.melrosehealth.com.au/products/APV%20020 Its...

Yes same here, I currently have a keg hopped Galaxy beer on the go (Galaxy hops have been floating in the keg now for 6 weeks). Although i did experience a similar harshness to what I described earlier initially, it vanished after a week and then I just had tonnes of delicious Galaxy dry hop...

I bottled for near a hundred batches and never had a problem using two drops to carb. I've always crashed cooled to 3 deg and bottled cold which could have something to do with it?

Just my 2c... I wouldn't use galaxy to bitter this beer. I'd try a clean bittering hop. I have done a lot of beers with Galaxy, but only bittered with it once as it produces such a harsh bitterness You can even get that harshness from later flavour additions of the hop, but I have found a month...

Update: I had one given to me very late last growing season. It didn't do anything and died off in the cold ACT winter. It has just sprouted with vengeance recently after a very long winter of neglect in the corner of the yard. So does this mean it is in fact a rhizome or has developed into one...

Pick a new spot. Gotta drill as slow as possible and use some cutting fluid too. Work hardened steel is impossible

Great Recipe thanks Argon. I followed the DB recipe to a T (all grain) and I actually did a side by side with a bottled commercial LCPA. Colour is spot on. Aroma of the commercial version seemed almost non-existant after smelling my version. Taste was so similar you would never pick the...

Ive done a beer with plenty of Galaxy. It taught me the definition of a harsh bitterness! I'll only use bigger additions now at 20mins.

Ive been adjusting Canberra water to 100ppm CaS04 & 100ppm CaCl for my PA's. Results have been good, it adds a certain polish to the finished beer. Im not going back. Dylo
