any ideas where the results are? I'm not verry patient

got a bitza keg on the go myself right now, all variants of pale ales though. Nothing special but will keep some of the VB drinking rellies happy at xmas

I've got a mashmaster mill and run it with a GMC drill. Works ok as long as you dont load it up too much, then you just get smoke and a buzzing noise. Its a hell of a lot better than using the hand crank. That is for suckers. I have considered doing the whole motor and gearing setup but for...

BIAB, HERMS, gravity whatever, unless you boil kettle or fermeher looks like porridge you wont have anything to worry about. As for the BIAB (not that I do it) I'd guess you'd have less issues unless you split the bag or spill some.

Did a similar thing myself but used a 50/50 blend of unmalted wheat and JW Pale, the unspiced half got the Wyeast 1098 and was dryhopped with Amarillo and Simcoe. I think I prefer it to the Witt

I had the same sealing problem with a soda stream bottle adaptor a few years ago. Turned out the nameless home brew shop forgot to send me the seal (little white washer) that I needed to seal the thing off. Check you have the seal, otherwise you'll just empty bottles and piss yourself off

ring grain and grape, the boys in the shop have been playing with one and by all reports liking it

I like the look of this thing, shiny and precision german made, just a bit on the expensive side. All its lacking is a built in chiller.

Ha Hendo you actually got the course finnished!, I did the res school with you and am in the throws of finnishing off the last unit now. Will have to catch up for a beer when your in Melb next. As for the course, yep its well worth it if you have vission of going a step further than plastic...

well **** me first time in Vicbrew and I got 1st in IPA and 3rd in strong stout. Off to the nationals! Stout will be ok but the IPA is peaking now and there is no way enough time to rebrew. Any ideas - more dry hops? Cheers to all the judges, big job done by talented people

when are we expecting the Vicbrew 2010 results? If patience is a virtue I am virtueless

Wouldnt dream of forgetting the gear guard Pumpy but any chance of a template or dimensions of your gear guard? My Mill is in the mail somewhere between Brisy and Melb, on its second run, thanks Australia Post.

G'day Pumpy, did you end up posting a template for the gear guard, I have a millmaster on its way as I type. Cheers DK

If the old guy was wearing shorts thats the cleaner from my building (I work on Collins st) Renea, I dont think he's quite all there. nice old bloke though

its the sub prime, crying shame. 1st rule in life is never sell toys!!!

Sid you'll need to crack it to let the enzymes from your malt barley in to do their job. Going to fine isnt a problem except that you could get a stuck sparge so throw in some rice hulls (about 250-500g for 4-6 kg of grain)

Go the krausen pitch or pitch another packet of yeast, both should work and are cheap. Also try rousing the fermenter, cant do any harm. One question are you only uising the airlock as a sign of fermentation? if so it may just be a problem with your seals. If you are gettin a good foam on top...

If you want cheap Triticale and have acess to a stock feed store give them a try, most trit ends up in cows and sheep and it should be cheap.

Based on its agronomic properties it should give similar results to using a soft wheat. It is much closer to rye that wheat in all characteristics. Are you looking at malted or unmalted staggalee?
