[Jez]

[staggalee]

lol.... the brewer on that show just summed up the first kit brew by saying.... "just add 6 gallons of hot water and 29 gallons of cold bla bla..." :lol:

stagga.

 

[scoundrel]

can anyone put this up on the for all us plebs to download?

LOL. I just watched it. It explains the basics.

Most of you will cringe watching the dodgy methods.

One thing I did learn is that hops are a family of marijuana

Can anyone provide a proper name for the show? Or even, URL to a homepage of the show if such exists?

The foxtel channel guide doesn't seem to be loading for me atm, to reference myself.

It's Discovery Turbo and Turbo +2... I was wondering why Foxtel changed the colour of their skin. The new channels just gives them more scope to repeat everything more often. :lol:

Thanks for the heads-up. I've IQ'd it. Alas no series link !! <_<

i saw a bit of the "red wine" brewing show yesterday....
looks pretty lame to say the least.
still i IQ'd the Bitter ep on today....

not holding out much hope i must say.
i'm guessing it wont be taking up too much of my IQ HDD space for too long.

ReVox.... its called "Special Brew"

 

[svyturys]

Hmmmmmm, what can one say?

Pitch yeast at 29c and wrap in blanket to keep warm for a week.

That about sums up the K&K segment.

An AG version of the same brew was made. I missed the yeast pitch bit but I think that 29c was the magic number again.

The "master brewer" was a Kiwi. The equipment and techniques used were very primitive by the standards that I'm used to. The fermenter was nothing more than an opaque plastic bucket with an opaque lid, no thermometer no mention of SG. The same kind of fermenter was used by both K&K and AG brews.

Bottling was done by syphon!

Cheers

Watched it and it was pretty crappy but I liked the simple AG setup that was pretty good The host is a plonker tho

Sweet motherly mackeral, 29'C pitching temperature? Man, thats rough. I freak if I have to pitch much over 20'C...

Perhaps we should make a pilot of a REAL brewing show and send off a tape to FOX?
