Dig, slightly OT, but if MS is at Colonial, who took over at The Sail?
Say hello to Mal and Joel for me.

This is my first major experience with Diacetyl, and forgive my ignorance but I didn't even know you could produce such noticeable quantities with an ale yeast.
be intersted to see what you think of some of the other micro's offers out that way
A bit OT but I have recently done 4 identical (apart from the malt cultivar) trial brews with US-05 at 18-20C and they all had ship loads of diacetyl and very cloudy. I even left the last 2 batches on the yeast in primary for almost a week to try and get it to re-absord but no difference. Only after about 3-4 weeks in the keg (unfiltered) have they cleared up and the diacetyl has almost all gone. Never had this before with US-05.Hey Brendan,
sometimes hard to believe i know, but it is definatley possible!
i've got a beer in primary i pitched us-05 into and it's been sitting at 16*c ambient temp in the shed, prolly even lower over night
and it got some serious diacetyl going on even overpowering simcoe!
i've also kegged a couple of ales to early and low levels of diacetyl have been present.
i'm pretty careful about doing a d-rest with lagers so have never had it in any of my lagers yet!

HiWill summarise when I get back in an appropriate thread and when I have a bit more time, but so far the Cowaramup Special has been the hit.
Anyone have any current info on Colonial? Anyone been there recently? Do they still exist? I read an article online recently by Vic Crossland talking up the WA breweries and their chances for success at the AIBA, and I thought it was odd that he omitted Colonial. Just scanning through the 2010 AIBA results, and Colonial didn't enter. There was talk of a new brewery going in somewhere... Anyone have any news?
