First Ag In The Glass!

[milob40]

well i gotta say i'm chuffed!!!
coming from a newbie to all grain if you have never tried ag just bloody do it!
i used a $15 pot from big w and $7 bucks of swiss voile from the "small pink shed?"
2 week ferment but coudn't help myself, had to filter it and keg to speed up the conditioning (fridge was nearly dry)
and i'm on my fifth glass.
bloody neighbours love it too
a big sincere thanks to all the people that have helped me along the way and tolerated my sometimes stupid questions.
maybe if i take some to the lhb to try he may just start stocking grain h34r: ?

:lol: - I know what you are going through. My very first AG, nearly 3 years ago, the wort didn't taste very sweet - of course I was comparing it to what kit and kilo wort tastes like into the fermenter - and I thought that somehow the mash had "failed" so I whacked in about 600g of Dextrose to be on the safe side.

Anyway my buddy came over for the big first taste and after about 4 pints each we were almost crawling around sobbing about the way the bastards were treating Britney, etc :icon_drunk:

Enjoy

Well done mate, great to hear that your first was successful.
I couldn't believe how bad my kegged kits were compared to my first AG glass.
No turning back now.

Good luck, there is no going back now.

Apart from the heating costs in the brewery that does produce carbon DIOXIDE (only Allah can produce carbon itself - or nuclear labs can do, but only a few atoms) , beer fermentation is carbon neutral because the CO2 escapes into the atmosphere then finds its way back to the barley and hops to make new barley and hops.

I'm the last one to placate the ecomentalists but that German grain is no so carbon neutral! Probably owes about ten times its weight in CO2 emmisions, down to the truck that carted the liquid nitrogen, in Argentina, to manufacture the chemical precursor, of a chemical used as a catalyst, to make the fuselage, of the plane that flew over the Barvarian plains, to spray the chemical, to kill the bugs, that swallowed the horse - she died of course.

And we haven't even mentioned the ship that burnt the oil to get it to the truck that got it to your car's boot.

If you brew using grain from your back yard that you harvested with a reaper, then yes - it's carbon neutral. Unless you watered it.

At the end of the day nothing is carbon neutral. And that's why, I don't care!

 

[Bribie G]

At least the horse got returned to the ground (although horse could be a culinary item in Argentina, as it has a fair Italian population)

Edit: as well as looking not unlike Brisbane or Sydney - wow, not a poncho in sight, good place for a trip by the looks of it.

So how did you scrub up this morning, Milo?
