I need help with an infection in my brewery. I was living in a damp underground appartment were mold just grew on all of my brewing equipment and I started to get some bad batches. They didn't look like they had mold but were hazy and smelt and tasted like Burnt popcorn and metallic. I through...

Still looking...

Hi guys, I've just moved to Newcastle for a warmer change, under the impression that there was plenty of work here but I'm having trouble finding a job. Just thought I'd put it out there and see what comes of it. My experience is in working on commercial/ industrial equipment...

From everything I've read mate, it's best to lift them back up. Over the next couple months while the die off, they will suck all their nutrients back down into their roots. So I wouldn't cut them back until say June/ July. Let them die off naturally.

It all came from one 2nd year plant

I agree, if you start seeing lupulin falling to the ground then you have gone to far. A couple days is all you need. I didn't weigh my wet cascade this year but it was about 3kg dry and 5 20l buckets full wet. I still have Saaz to pick but they came on a bit late this season.

With my camp mats covered in insulation tape, over a 90min mash it doesn't drop at all and I have digital displays reading to one decimal place. If I put the lid on at 66.2c it is still that temp with I start to mash out.

Here's a shot of my keggerator....

Hilarious, i like how apparently barley creates starch and wheat just helps in fermentation. Personally I'd like to reduce by brew days below 5 hrs not turn them into brew months.

Her I have the core brewing one too and it's great with a great price tag too.

i think the camping mats are the way to go. i got them from kmart for $10 each and used electrical tap to cover them and hold them in place. Also makes it easier to clean wort off of.

Thanks Truman, your a champ.

sounds more like the recipe for bad batch of simcoe to me... : )

Nice setup mate. Where's the mess though? My brew days never look that clean, I have stuff everywhere : )

Yer probably not a good idea I know I'm running way more than I should though our wiring. But if your in kew east, my wife own's native bloom florist, you should check out her window display this week. She is featuring my homegrown cascade's in the display. Wonder if anyone will know what...

No worries mate I'm happy to help. Yer I've wired up a lot of stc1000's I have 3 at home and I've done a few for friend. You can't really go wrong though each terminal on the terminal strip is well marked. Let us know if you have a problem.

Ha. Yer I'm an electrican not a sign writer. so I got to the end of building the brewery and thought, well now I can either do a course in calligraphy or I could brew. Sorry I decided on the later.

Too funny. I thought you had an idea for the brewery, I'm always looking for a reason to play with my equipment : )

Ha. Thanks mate. Yer I do need some labels. That is the one thing that annoys me when I brew.

I just left grain and grape and I bought a couple packs of Amarillo.
