Probably passed through a marketing department at some point :icon_cheers:

I'm interested to know your source that maltodextrin is corn syrup.

Welcome buster 747 :icon_cheers: Definitly enhancer. Coopers Brew Enhancer 2 is still mostly dextrose though, which doesn't really add to the flavor of beer and can detract from it if too much is used. It does however contain a bit of light dry malt extract which is mainly maltose which gives...

For your insulation shelf the best way to do it would be by having an air gap which is resonably sealed to stop air moving through it. You could use two layers of mdf not even 10mm apart, even if you have to use thinner mdf with an air gap it would still be heaps better. You could glue a couple...

New Directions Australia I don't think these guys have minimum order quantites. $33 for 600g and then courier on top of that. Unless you're planning a trip to Sydney.

There has been another development. Coles was selling Penfolds 389 as a loss leader so Fosters got thier staff to go to coles and buy up 60% of it. So they sold it to coles for $44 a bottle and bought it back for $37 a bottle and then sold it on to independants. Link

This is why people don't respect the police.

I would use a lager yeast seeing as you are trying to make a lager and ale yeasts will likely add a flavour that your not looking for. Wyeast 2035 American Lager has a resonably high attenuation. You would need to ferment below 13deg though but thats lagering for you. I would grab a can of...

sounds good. My fiancee had to agree that the boil smelt nice, expecially with the chocolate, play up the chocolate a lot!

Was having lunch today and just remembered this thread as I was enjoying a Little Creatures Single Batch East Kent Goldings Ale which I got from my local Vintage Cellars. Part of the description on the bottle is: '... we thought it'd be great to showecase a classic for this Single Batch...

ROFLMAO!!!! :lol:

I ignored the blind test because an unknown number of people rating an unknown number of beers, served in unknown forms doesn't mean shit to me. 700 people were serveyed on thier opinion of VB and it was rated lowest, that's a lot of people. I am of the opinion that VB, MB and Crown taste very...

I'd go further than that TBird and say that the difference between most of the beers at your local pub is marketing. When I only have a choice of generic largers I tend to drink Tooheys New because its got a picture of a stag on the front and lets face it stages are pretty fecking awesome. I...

VB get thier sales because every time I go to a corporate function or wedding the only heavy beer is VB. I've drunk VB when its the only thing going for free. Makes you appretiate good beer better. Do they include in the sales figures the VB that gets relabelled as Crown Lager or Melbourne Bitter?

Could try Aaron's Best Bitter but substitute the base malt for your DME http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=312 I have 90g of EKG in the fridge too and looking forward to trying something similar when I get a chance.

Home Brewing saves tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. If I wasn't home brewing I'd probably be doing one of the following in my spare time: Ballroom dancing: up to $150 an hour in lessons, about $1500 for entry level competition. Comic book collecting: over $100000 for the...

Lol, let me know how it goes, if it all freezes you and I can write a science paper together.

Unlike pure substances, binary systems do not freeze at a single temperature, rather, they freeze over a range. The first solid starts to form at -14degC (this is called the liquidus), the last solid to form is at 21degC (this is called the solidus). Between the solvus and the liquidus there is...

Eisbock it is then, without the salt :)

While solution can refer to either solid, liquid or gas it is clear from the layout of the phase diagram that in this context solution is meant to mean liquid (salt mixed with water). So that triangle is for solid pure ice and liquid salt solution. The solid solubility of salt in water is zero.
