I doubt the yeast matters when your dumping in a tonne of hops. I've used 1469 because I had it on hand. Tastes good.

I throw everything from the kettle into the cube and then everything from the cube into the fermenter. Crash chill for a couple of days at 1*C and add gelatine and the beer comes out crystal clear with no off flavours.

I do a 60 minute addition for the bitterness level I want. At the end of the boil I let it cool to 80 degrees in the kettle with the lid off (takes 30 minutes) then transfer to cube and add the flavour hop addition.

I emailed Rupert in Albany today and he has sold the business. This was his response: I transferred my business HopsWest some time ago. You can contact them for buying rhizomes: [email protected]

Has anyone tried eureka hops? Bit of info from: http://www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/eureka/ Navigation Eureka With similarities to Simcoe® and Summit™ hops, Eureka is a fairly new variety with very strong bittering qualities and a complex and robust flavor and aroma profile...

I'm having a crack at this Cider gig with a batch of 50/50 apple / pear juice from Coles. A couple of questions for the pros: 1. Has anyone had good results with oak chips? If so, how much and how long do you soak them for? 2. Is it best to transfer to a secondary or is bottle ageing OK? 3...

Hi all, I've been away from the brewing scene for 6 years while working and travelling overseas. Prior to that I was gearing up for a 3 vessel RIMS setup but I've now decided to keep it simple and go with BIAB so I am clearing out all my superfluous gear. As per the pictures, there is heaps of...

Chaps, Long time no post as I've taken a hiatus from brewing to focus on sampling all the hand pumps the UK has to offer. Anyhow, I received an email from James Squire calling for support of a new venue in Scarborough, WA. Please help out us sandgropers and vote yes to more beer! CLICK HERE...

Hi all, I need to get rid of some brewing gear from my dad's shed as he is moving house. I'm living in London and plan to brew again one day so I'm keeping a few things but getting rid of most of it. 1. 8x Colonial Brewery growlers, normally $30 each, selling for $80 the lot. 2. 150x...

A pub nearby to me has Thornbridge Jaipur on hand pump :icon_drool2: The Kernel Brewery in London is definitely worth looking out for as well! The beer scene here in the UK is totes amazeballs. I don't even need to brew to get decent beer. In fact I'd be missing out on the huge range that is...

Yep everyone loves a bit of pussy :P

Your initial idea will use more power than individual fridges. It's all about heat gain from the surrounding environment. Unless you insulate those 44gal drums they will pick up heat and have your liquid chiller running flat out all the time. Some options I envision: 1. Multiple fridges and...

I had TTL off the hand pump in Lincoln last weekend and it was amazing! It is way more fruity / floral than the bottled version. It was juicy, sort of like lichee. Then I discovered Timothy Taylor Ram Tam on hand pump. OMG :icon_drool2: Shame I can't find it in London at all :(

Looks dardy unna :beer:

:icon_drool2: Might have to nip down the local after work after reading all this!
