    Lake Pedder Wildflower Mead

    The wine thief only fits in one of my carboys! It's about half a mm too big for my other ones :p But yes, I will be having a little try a bit later :)

    Tas Home Supplies

    Popped in last week, very impressed with how much nicer the place looks! Noticed the yeast also (I only bought 1 pack, instead of 2!). See how things keep moving, but pretty impressed with the changes so far

    How Do I Open 50L Kegs

    Drill 2 holes in the ring, one either side of the split, then use bent needle nose pliers to squeeze it together and it pops out and the spear can be pulled out. Make sure you get ALL the pressure out first though!

    Coffee Stout Qs

    Double basket, running about 50ml shots. About 3.5l of coffee in a 24l brew. Pretty close to 2 double shots per bottle. Yes,it was a very strong coffee taste and not many people could drink more than a couple of glasses, but it still tasted good (to me). The cold drip version was much less in...

    Coffee Stout Qs

    Pet Bottles

    Slightly Alternative Priming...

    Ok so just then I had a random though... what would it be like to prime with a marshmallow? I doubt I would do it, but as it is mostly sucrose, i suspect it would work... but taste?
