My name happens to be Jeremy.. I take offense to what you make of my name. I am a beer brewing/drinking kind of bloke who doesn't need this kind of crap.. I used to like you Michael.. How dare you....

When I tried adding a single hop pellet to 6 Grolsch bottles a while back I got major gushers. The rest of the batch was carbed nicely. I tried uncapping each of the remaining bottles to let some of the Co2 out and then recapping and letting them settle. I did this and then would try another a...

New or used ? :D

What you have there is a base malt. It needs to be mashed. I have been critical of TCB's instructions on their grains whether they should be steeped or mashed. The instructions tell you to steep all grains in boiling water for 10-20 mins and then rinse with water and dump straight into the...

The colour if the sky is yellow I tells ya ! I do smell onions in the MP but I don't say it smells bad. Also, I figure due to the quantity, you get overloaded with as Graham says Sulphur. I usually only open a 90g pack. Not 3kg worth at once. I have no doubt they will go a ways to making a nice...

I think someone said this is a trait of it being a high alpha hop. I will be interested to hear the results of the MP being dry hopped.

Now that I have opened them I would say the main one for the onions is the Marco Polo. The Cascade has it a bit and the Saaz even less. I must say I have never handled this quantity of hops before so the whole aroma thing is overwhelming. I can only imagine what the packers went through. They...

My hops just arrived here in Bathurst. A big thanks to Townsville and the boys for the time and effort on this. My 3 x 1 kgs all arrived intact but I do see how those flimsy bags could have easily busted. I haven't got accurate enough scales to offer exact weights. Onions onions onions. That is...

It is just the Aussie version of the tequilla worm :rolleyes:

I have the same el'cheapo Ebay urn and it has no rust on the element. I have done 5 brews and really like it. The element does crudd up in the boil and I just give it a scrub with a PLASTIC scourer and it comes good. Just give it it a clean.. She'll be right.. Happy brewing !

I recently did a brew with s-33 and US-05 deliberatly as I had half a pack of US05 and the S-33 is only 6 grams. It had equal characteristics from both. I don't know if I would bother again though. If you dont want the cider yeast to get much of a hold maybe try fermenting around 14c as...

It looks like most orders are for 3 kg or less. The best method for posting is the 3kg express bag to anywhere in Aus for about $10 (maybe cheaper when bought in bulk). No savings to be made in setting up distribution centres IMHO.

Does your cap have the rubber washer in it ? I have noticed that sometimes they are missing. I also have no such problem. If anything it is hard to open again.

I started out with 2 of the BIGW 19l stock pots. I was doing perfectly good brews with them. I found that doing the main boil on the stove made the kitchen dripping wet in winter. I would open the windows and put a pedestal fan there and still too much condensation. I do agree that the 30l urn...

IMO the 3kg express postage bag for $10 is the most efficient option. If it was me running the show. I would just offer a sampler of 3 x 1KG hops in an express bag. Same cost across all of Oz.

Not me. My glass is half full :D
