Aye. But inputing a new malt in BrewersFriend requires a PPG value and a Lovibond value.

MHB, thanks for the PPG calc, I'm about to use Supernova in an Amber Ale and was pretty much guessing the value. However, doesn't the colour calculation EBC divided by 1.97 give you the SRM value not the L value? I have been using brewtoad calculator for colour...

Due to a move back to NZ,I have number of crown seals bottles surplus to requirements (coopers 750ml, rekorderlig 500ml, and some others). Prob in the order of 75 bottles. If interested PM me. Pick up has to be later this afternoon, tonight or tomorrow. Cheers

Coolwine in Hobart has good range - MidCity Arcade, Criterion Street East Coast? stop in at the bottle store at Cambridge Park (forgot the name). Huge range of craft beer and also refrigerated. Only discovered this one recently.

Welcome Christopher, I've been in Hobart 4 years now (brewing just over a year). Top spot.

Pretty much what I do. Rinse as best I can in hot water and hang on clothes line for a week or two. Rain and UV radiation seems to do the trick. Also give it the ol' "sack sniff" test.

Hey pcmax A partial with the 32L no probs but I think you'll have difficulty to get 23L in the fermenter with a 32L pot. You have to take into account absorption by the grains and also evaporation during the boil. I have a 38L pot and I wouldn't go any smaller as I have gotten pretty close to...

Hey Shacked I brewed a vienna / citra SMASH with US-05 a while back. IBUs were in the 30's if I remember correctly. I found it rather sweet and cloying (FG - 1010). I have tried other all citra beers (although I haven't tried Zombie Dust) and I just don't think it's my bag to be honest. Citra...

What are people's thoughts on using as a mini keg? Just prime in the BM, then once carbonated chuck in the fridge? Saw one second hand for $30 which seems a cheap way to reduce bottling.

Drinking a MO based IPA now and very happy with the result. I'm like you in the fact that I'm trying to learn all the flavours of different base malts (and hops and yeasts.....). I really like the flavour it brings to my beers and find myself fighting the urge not to use it to explore other...

I'll be back for sure. Enjoyable evening and tasting sours was a whole new experience for me, and a mostly good one at that. :huh: Nice work by John.

Pretty sure they meet every 3rd Wednesday of the month at the New Sydney. 7:30 or 8:00pm. Was gonna head along this Wednesday.

Pale Ale with NV, Cascade and Citra. Measures up well....... :P

Live in Cook County Jail one of my favourite albums. Was the old man's and was blown away when I heard it. RIP

Just mashed in jyo's Simple Saaz Blonde. Looking forward to this one.

I use a companion mega jet for BIAB. Most I have had boiling was 34L. Handled it easily.

Took me a while to find CoolWine, def got a decent selection. Hard to restrain myself but tried an IStout by 8 Wired, very nice. Have enjoyed Captain Bligh's Six Guineas at the Hope and Anchor with a dozen oysters..... :icon_drool2:

Skål! Heading to DK in May to catch up with family for a few weeks (Fredericia).

I brewed a MO / Cascade smash but didn't dry hop. They idea was to save a few bottles to compare with future smash brews, only have two bottles left........ Check out photo for colour Droid

Nice one. I think I'll move my hop additions to later in the boil and aim for an IBU of around the mid 30's. 15g at 45mins 20g at 10mins 30g at 5mins
