    Powells Malt

    Was at powell's malt yesterday,was informed only pils will be available from now on.Munich was phased out some months ago....seems ale has gone the same way. All due to colour as I understand. Just a HEADS UP for those interested.

    Hops

    If there was a beer made with a particular yeast and only Southern Cross,I would prefer to give up drinking. Sorry,I just can't stand SC.

    Cold Pitching

    Have tried the Google search function,doesn't seem any dedicated topics.When mentioned,it is in a different context. Interested if others are doing it regularly?I have had some fantastic results. Typical lag of 15-30 mins as opposed to 90-120 mins for same process.(Harvested Yeast) Reaching...

    Leftovers

    Why do people feel the need to "dispose of them in a brew" as opposed to build a brew around them,or even replace used stock. If I am low on say spalt,I will not make a beer just to use it,but re-order more spalt.So I can use it as originally intended. Adding bits and pieces of various...

    More Thoughts On Yeast

    I purchased an out of date wy2206 and stored in fridge for a further 6 months.Oh it was gluten free. Couple of weeks ago smacked it,it took over a week to start any swelling.Not unusual for older yeast especially lager,I thought. Left it alone to do it's thing for a few days,opened it to make...

    Yeasts You Really Don't Like

    Do other people have yeasts they really don't like.I have used a very popular yeast that others rave about. And have hated the results.Upon advice, have given it a second chance,only to be totally disappointed once again. I think it may be personal taste to different yeasts,but have never come...

    Was cruising along making a house ale I have made many, many times.Kettle fining time rolled around,and I got lazy and couldn't be bothered measuring out Kopperfloc,decided just to drop in a whirlfloc tab. Trub in kettle was consistent with Kopperfloc.End result was not. I have always had a...

While I think his intentions are admiral,I don't think censorship at ISP level will affect these goals.It will however force up...

    Atc Refractometer

    Hi Guys,for an ATC refracometer should the readings be the same if the sample is hot or allowed to cool. I usually take a small sample allow to cool(room temp) then apply,if I leave the sample to cool further I get a higher reading. Does the temperature compensation work in both directions...
