Thanks to all involved for making it happen. Much appreciated. This was my second year entering and I must admit I was surprised to see that my beers this year, which I thought were significantly better than my entries last year, rated quite low - they were all better examples of their style...

Be interested to know how this turns out. I've just fermented an IPA that had Simcoe and Sorachi into the late boil, and the aroma coming out of the bubbler was like rock melon and lychee.....

I've got to say, this beer turned out a treat. I didn't reuse the hops. In addition to that stated above it has 1.5kg of LDM and 450g dextrose. The Czech lager yeast and the B-Saaz work a treat, and not in the way I thought they would. It's just a super smooth brew leaning more towards a strong...

A microbrewery on half a barley seed, made by Ukrainian miniaturist Nikolai Syadristy.

But there must be another reference in there too. Like a Star Trek episode or what....

Hey Ed, good show. What was first out of the bucket?

I don't understand why the coalition is against gay marriage. Abbot and Pyne are both gay and married. Seems like double standards to me.

Wow, first all-grain rig after only 18 months. That's a steep learning curve. Hope you're wearing a helmet. Inspirational stuff Macca!

If Pistol Pat does, we all should.

Lots of men to ticle.... But back on topic, if someone's AWOL Kolsch trumps your Dortmunder in the lager category, you simply have to brew better beer!

A priest walks into a homebrew shop. He was looking for biabsolution.

Pistol Pat walks into a saloon. The barman says: "I'm biabsolutely pleased to meet you!"

I just noticed this thread kept going.... I should have realised biabylon would be elusive.... Thanks again, and thanks to Pistol Pat for showing up.

OK, bad idea. Too much thrift.... Thanks.

That's what alcopops do to you. Beer drinking women don't have McNugget-Lake tantrums.

This is really a question about yeast though. I have a lager, about 8% to-be, coming to the end of diacetyl rest. I'd like to add the hop flowers I initially put into the boil into the secondary ferment. These hops were 90g added at 30, 10, and 0 min (30g each), so there's probably still a bit...

Hi Chris. Come off it, you chose the kit for its name.... But seriously, good luck with your return-to-brewing exploits. Hope the instructions with the kit were sufficient, though you probably filled in the blanks with a bit of experience. I had no such head-start and now have a good chuckle at...

Hey, thanks all, for the supreme effort. I'm looking forward to the tasting notes on my humble entries.

Hi Dave70, occasionally get to your n.o.t.w. Nice area. Yes I have gotten a couple of beers and general ingredients from Pat. Great supplier - good advice. But I try to share it around a bit so will buy from others too. Hey Spiesy, thanks. I spotted your avatar a while back. An homage? I...
