Thanks all. Unfortunately I didn't take any intermediate gravity readings. The brew is in a clear Better Bottle and I can see many small beads of gas rising to the top. It's creating quite a head on the top of the beer. The off-gassing thing makes sense. It's not something I've had or heard...

I'm currently fermenting a AG Belgian Wit using WLP400 (Belgian Wheat). It's been fermenting for 3 weeks today and has been on a constant 19C. The airlock is still bubbling at 1 per second and shows no sign of slowing. The OG was 1.047 and today it's down to 1.011. My immediate thought was some...

Hi Zorco, please add me in. I need more goodies!

Thanks Manticle. You prompted a thought. I could no-chill the batch and leave it until I can get more yeast. I've only ever done it once before so it never came to mind! I usually immersion chill. :) :)

I have started a nice Sunday morning brew session, making a Belgian Witbier when it appears that my yeast starter may not have fired. I may have to resort to using SAF 04 or 05 in this beer as I can't get any more wit yeast. My gut feel is that the 04 would make the better tasting beer. Your...

The Yarra Valley Gold is by far the pick of the bunch and quite drinkable. I'm not too fussed about the rest of the line up. Grand Ridge quality can be very hit and miss. The Gippsland Gold I had at a local dining establishment a couple of weeks ago was barely drinkable.

Thanks pacey. I have a little stash of Nelson Sauvin hidden away so will have a play. The general consensus on the rate beer site link provided was a little grim?? I think this beer is very drinkable, especially given the price and can availability!

I have got a little attached to the Cricketers Arms Spearhead Pale Ale of recent months, generally purchased in cans for camping trips because I don't like to take glass camping (also can't be arsed bottling). Can anybody who has tasted this brew give me a nudge for a recipe? The carton has a...

Got my sheets and medal yesterday. Great feedback. Thank you so much to all involved. I was so excited to take home a 1st at Vicbrew and 2nd at AABC for my first ever comp entry!!

I'm in the same boat as Darrenp. This was my first ever Brew comp and I would like to have a go at the nationals but I have no idea how to go about it. It was quite a shock to get a first!! Darrenp, I'm up the road in Fishy and could get bottles to Melbourne on Thursday??

I used Comp Master about four weeks ago to enter and was not prompted for any OG FG yeast etc. do I need to do anything about this prior to dropping off my bottles next week?

I have never had a go at competition before and have decided to give this a crack. I can't seem to find the Vic Brew on the Comp Master website to register. Does this mean I should just use the paper form?

I'm keen on two. Can pick up some time during the next couple of weeks. Cheers, Andy

I sent a recipe to a mate for Chocolate Porter so he could purchase the grain for a weekend brew session this weekend. The original grain bill was: 4.5kg JW Trad Ale 1kg Wey Munich 1 500g Simpsons Med Crystal 400g Wey Carafa Special 2 100g Simpsons Roasted Barley He ordered Weyermann...

Full Pint and Cheeky Peak are the best in the business. Full Pint do $20 shipping for up to 23kg. That's great for grain orders!! Both have amazing customer service.

Hi Lads, thanks heaps for getting the carared in. I just placed an order for that amongst other things. Andy

Good luck with that. I will be keen to sample the results!!

MRC?

Hi Lads, Any chance of Weyermann Carared? Couldn't see it on the website.
