Just got a call from SWMBO telling me that a strange box had just been delivered from Belgium and did I know anything about it... Hooray!

I had some of this on tap at the JS Brewhouse last week. It was seriously nice! Also had some of their limited release cider - made from fresh juice, nice and cloudy and bl00dy delicious.

Went to First Choice at Sylvania last night and found these. $20 for 2l of german beer and a free 2l swingtop included! No idea what it is like, buthad to get one just out of curiosity

Wow - thank goodness I asked before I experimented. I didn't even think about the neucleation sites... The hop tea idea sounds like a good'un. Might be time to break out the plunger. Thanks for the tips.

Feeling a little slow on a Monday morning and I have not come up with any particular joy in seeing whether this has come up before, but I have avague recollection of seeing it mentioned at least once on the forum. Was playing around with a english pale ale that I have on the go at the moment...

No problems - glad to hear it arraived safely and hope you enjoy it. Happy to hear your thoughts if you are so inclined.

Pure GENIUS! :wub:

Pretty sure they have Westmalle (and Karmeliet) at First Choice at Sylvania - actually they have a surprisingly decent range (and have enjoyed 3 for $12 on Harviestoun Brewery beers a few times), along with Murrays Nirvana (yum)

Pretty happy with how this turned out, considering first time AG (BIAB) plus chilled it overnight in the fermenting fridge plus no whirlfloc plus tipped all of the hot and cold (if any...) break into the fermenter. After two weeks in the fermenter and four in bottles at 18 degrees, as well as a...

Cool, thanks for the suggestions.

Not sure whether this topic has previously been covered, but a quick topic search for 'cake rack' has lead me nowhere at this stage. I am doing BIAB using a 19l stock pot and, as it is currently reasonably uninsulated and contains a relatively small volume, it needs the occasional re-heat...

and managed to find a picture of the not too picturesque (but tasty) pretzels...

I made some of these on the weekend (Merc's Recipe) with some help from my 2 and a half year old. It was really easy to make the dough (and lots of fun for the little one). Trickiest part was rolling the dough into pretzels and then getting them into and out of the boiling bicarb solution...

Like many others, I used this recipie to crack my "AG (BIAB) Cherry" the other week. Was also my first attempt at milling my own grain. Given the limitations on space and equipment, I only made a 15l batch. Used both amarillo and centennial for hops (50/50 on all additions), but otherwise...

I still recall a bottle of Tasman Ice (I suspect this was a 'cheap' version of Carlton Cold) I had when I was at uni - even though it was a hot summer's day and we had been to the beach for the afternoon it still tasted like someone had recycled it. A mate of mine had a similar opinion and...

Any reports back from those who were putting one down? I got one (JS Pilsner-style) last weekend on the "pure laziness" principle. Planning on using it to fill the fridge ahead of the Christmas season, so am fermenting it at 16 with a US-05 dry yeast rather than a true lager yeast. Fermenting...
