I could apply heat during the mash but the doonah and sleeping bag would catch on fire from the NASA burner.

WTF is that?

[Steve, you are not going to believe this but I wrote the above BEFORE seeing your post :lol: ]

This high tech stuff is hard work! Threading up tap kettles for the first time is a *******! Have gone through 1.5 rolls of teflon tape already on taps and kegs.

Time is slipping away..... Maybe I should do the ales today and lagers tomorrow??? Overnight mash???? Arrgh!

Katie, expect cloudy beer tomorrow. I just shoved a hose on the spigot (these suck compared to my ball-valves) and have run the beer straight through to the keg at horrific speed.

Less writing for me and more work methinks.

 

[chappo1970]

Just finished building my new tun and about to crack 7kg on Margie gunna be a late night.

 

[Bribie G]

It's boiling, the Mrs and I are popping round to Indian Bros for a Goat dopiaza and some Garlic Naan etc so I've decided to give this one a two hour slightly more gentle boil like they do at Pilsener Urquell (or did before the BeeroMafia took it over). Should be cubed by 7 if I don't drink too many Kingfishers while I'm round there. Now that's a bloody nice beer, if the Punjabis can do it why not Lion Nathan?

 

[chappo1970]

Hitting all me targets today!

XXXX clone 1040 SG Perfect!

Vienna Lager 1050 SG PERFECT!!!


Today it's my brewing day

Chappo

 

[Bribie G]

Won't know my OG till I've put the sugaz in tomorrow :icon_drunk:

No point putting sugaz in the boil, unless you are really picky about hop utilisation, you just lose some in the spent hops IMHO. I usually invert mine and then simmer it down to a gold syrup before adding. :icon_drool2:
