Haha he could ferment with the power 23 yeast maybe

Sounds like it needs some yeast nutrient

Haha it does doesn't it Yeah well you might have made the decision. It says it was listed in 2006 and I don't know how accurate their website is. Not to say that it's not, I just don't know.

Nevermind found it - and a bit cheaper too http://www.grainandgrape.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=7432 Hopefully they have it in stock too

I'm in need of a new beer filter cartridge because my old one hasn't survived the passage of time. I bought the filter from craftbrewer.com so I'm looking for something like this: http://craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=723 The only problem is that they are out of stock. Is there any...

Yeah but not as fun, and not as accurate!

Haha glad to see that I inspired some others! Mine's the same I wanted to keep it as simple as possible. The OG of the juice was 1.040 so I put about 200-300g of dextrose in there as well. I ended up getting a 4766 in the end because I'm culturing some up to put in test tubes, but regardless...

Has anybody tried using artificial sweetners such as splenda or the like? I don't think you'd need a whole lot of sweetening to just bring it back from 'dry' and it would also then contain less sugar?

Okay well unless anyone else speaks up (please do if you have something to say!) I guess I'll give it a shot. $20 isn't much for a gamble really although it will use up my valuable fermenter space!

Wasn't sure whether to post this in the yeast section, but I thought I'd catch the cider heads around. I'm thinking of making up a simple cider to fill up one of my empty kegs and take to a music festival coming up. Woolworths has golden circle juice on special at the moment for $2 for 2 Litres...

I dunno about boil over. I don't tend to use the malt at full strength for starters so havn't really had a problem. Anyways I'll stop distracting from the thread title! As you were, gentlemen.

The best thing you can do for your yeast starters IMO is get a borosilicate flask. They're pretty cheap online. Erlenmeyer or similar brand is what you're after. The advantage is that you can put them directly on your stove, put in some water and malt, and put some tin foil on the top. Once...

Wow sounds spicy! I tend to find that real ginger goes a long way. What yeast are you using?

LOL you know you're on a brewing forum when the guys are more interested in what beer she's drinking than the girl!

Was it just the lid or was there some in the actual culture? Did you remember to steralise the lid? Don't waste a beer on finding out anyway...

Hahaha nice one! I actually would consider organising a buy in the future. I've been meaning to check out Keg King I'll grab a few from there. I noticed the last group buy was done from there rather than Grain and Grape. Is that the new hangout for the cool kids or just for something different...

Haha thanks guys for the tips. I'll keep them on hand and if they're alright then all good. I'll order some replacements in the mean time! (Oh, and buy some more Nike's)

It turns out that along the journey of moving house my Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin flowers and pellets didn't make it back into a fridge or freezer. They're unopened and properly vac packed but I do you think they'll be usable or stuffed? They are fairly old and have been out of the fridge for at...

Hey guys, Have been out of the brewing game for over a year doing a major overhaul of the system. I notice that we just missed a bulk buy from December. How long is it usually until another one comes along? We've got some grain but wondered whether to buy a sack retail to tide us through or...
