Hi guys, Sorry I couldn't be there for the long run. Just a heads up my swap beer (no 15)which is a fortified stout will be ready to drink in sept. Approx abv 6.5% Hope you enjoy

Agree with you Manticle, the Belgians are a thing of beauty. Not much of a fan of Westmalle Tripel, Karmeliet is my favourite. Picked these up for Xmas, haven't tried La Trappe before.

That's shit mate. Hope the karma train comes by and hits them at 200kph. Hope you have a good Xmas.

Black hearts and sparrows sell a really nice French cider , I think it's called Pere Jules. Not cheap at $25/750ml but it is Christmas.

The new saf cider tastes good on first use. Going to give it another try as thirsy people in my house meant I barely got to try it.

Stomping Ground is good, Bad Shepherd/Wolf is good. Temple Brewery in Brunswick East is said to be a good setup (haven't been in so I don't know). Bonus about this one is literally within a 400m radius you have Alehouse project, B. East ( burgers) and two of the best wood fired pizza places...

I might just use crystal anyway as I have some on hand. Maybe use 55g instead of 110g??

That's the beauty of these taps it takes the line length pretty much out of the equation. I run roughly 1.1m, your 1m will be fine.

All good, might not have read quite so clearly anyway.

I have tried this and I think it is pretty pedestrian for an IPA. I won't buy Hawkers out of principle these days. When you hear the Hawkers story from 6 different sources (published media, directed from the brewery) and they aren't consistent. I call bullshit. Not to mention the whole rags...

Happy to be corrected, I thought they were 18litres.

I'm not sure... What's not clear? I rationalise the extra effort with the commercial kegs that sometimes use because they are a bigger vessel(mostly). If they are cornie size they would need to be super cheap/free to justify the extra expenditure on couplers, ball lock attachments, maybe a keg...

Yeah I know, well technically they are bit smaller. The point I was trying to make was that I offset the extra work using these kegs with the fact that they are 50ltrs.

Planning a double batch of Wiggmans Aussie Lager. Ferment it reasonably high with s-189 and lager for a month for Australia Day. Last lager I did turned out horribly, yeast wasn't as viable as I thought.

If you are going to a get a few for nothing then spend some cash on a tool and coupler then it's worth it. I have a few commercial kegs but to be honest it's the size that makes them attractive. Cornies are much more user friendly for homebrewers.

Best method for me is low and slow. I find that it gives the beer time to condition. Process in my house is ferment/dry hop normally 2 weeks. Keg, into the keezer and hook up to CO2. Leave for 3 weeks. I can do it quicker and have done a fair few times but this works best for me. Same when I...

They seem to be picking up a bit of a following I hear.

Been thinking about giving el dorado a try this week. Hmmm, really should try it.
