Ahhh ok. I didn't get ghat cause HSA doesn't occur at that temp. But yeah there was lots of crap that went down. At least there were answers/solutions to all the problems

Like the violation of my human rights! <_<

Having a ***** drawn on your face while drunk is actually a basic human right (clause 15.1.7.2 in the Basic Human Rights charter, United Nations, Resolution 17.23, 1994, revised 1998)

Ahem.. i believe it was re-revised in 2003 to disallow penises.

Naked ladies however, thats a different story.

Well, the barleywine was pitched 6 days ago at 1.099. Currently at 1.059 and looks like the krausen is starting to drop! :unsure:

Been swirling the fermenter daily to keep the 1968 roused. Hopefully i can keep her munching away to get her to attenuate down to atleast 1.020 (10.4%ABV) :beerbang:

Hopefully with all those suagz added she drops that low. i sure as hell dont want her stopping at 1.035 or something (8.5% abv). Otherwise it will be more like an under attenuated imperial IPA

My advice - keep beating it like a red-headed stepchild!! Got a long way to go...

ok, so its been 15 days on the yeast and i have the following deets!

Barleywine
OG 1.099
FG 1.034
ABV 8.5-8.6%~

Partigyle
OG 1.043
FG 1.010
ABV 4.2-4.3%~

According to beersmith the PG is at terminal gravity and guesstimating the BW due to the low starting grav, ill assume 1.030~ is terminal. Ive just done my 'every second day swirl on the barleywine again, if shes stuck at the FG by friday, i'll leave her and bottle as is.

With the PG i ended up with 76% attenuation, i should get that assuming my yeast pitching is up to scratch with the barleywine and i can keep her in suspension too. (damn 1968, it will be the death of me!)

On a side note, my case swap amber ale test has rung in @ 4.8% and will be available for taste at the May Melbourne Brewers meet @ the fox. Unfortunatly its not tasting great atm so it might be omitted incase Jamil wants a sip. Its got a slightly astringent hop characteristic.

Hopefully its just my palate after tasting the barleywine and partigyle whilst sipping a glass of my 'get your kit off' comp beer. Speaking of, i might have to refilter this suckeror gelatine the keg. It just doesnt want to drop bright. it sucks when you dont seat the filter corectly in the housing.. Such a waste of time!

you're filtering a kit beer? isn't that like cheating...you'll end up stripping out the twang, and be left with something half palatable...

joking aside, no idea how my PG and BW are doing.... The PG has dropped clear a few days ago, so think it may be done... when I get around to it, I'll post up the deets.

as i was on child minding duties last night (spewing i missed another melb brewers meeting), once the kiddly winks were asleep I snuck out the brewery to see how it all travells...
\
partigyle was reading 5.5 brix - so adjust for alc etc I make SG 1009! I recon she's done. Had a taste....lovely. the W1084 Irish has worked a treat. Brendo there will be plenty of slurry for you to use. I'll bring it over when i come to pick up my gear.

I didnt check the BW. Will do so at the weekend. not looking forward to cleaning all those bloody bottles.

Good stuff! Unfortunatley you missed my 1st place tie with Haysie for the Irish Red Comp.

My partigyle has a light hop astringency to it. hopefully its just its greenness and will fade with time.

Got to keg these suckers sometime soon. Hopefully early next week once ive got some fridge and keg space to boot!

you *******! you get to pretend your a brewery owner/worker for a week!
i assume this is the week off before you start the new job?

I should be able to free up 2 this weekend. 1x60L and 1x30L. Ive been meaning to go collect 2x30L fermentors off fents for ages, but he's probably chucked them by now.

I suppose you could go buy them if your in a pinch

oh and did i mention..you lucky *******!
