My ex wife's dad got me into home brewing about thirty five years ago when there was no science to the thing. Black fermenter used to sit on the back versndah of his Queenslander gurgling away at ambient temps. I think the brews were Briqalow and they had a decidedly bananery taste to them. You eventually got a taste for them and the only alternative in those days was XXXX.

Are you forgetting the deliciousness of Cairns Draught and Brisbane Bitter? :icon_vomit:

think he said the "ambient was some sore of one but the other what ever it was was the best". or the other way round. we did not get that because ambient was not even a word to use but beer was alcohol.

Ah I has forgotten the dubious delights of the dreaded Brisbane River as we used to call it. Or maybe it was a memory that was subconsciously repressed!

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

I think I'd rather drink XXXX than ambient fermented Brigalow kits... :lol:

Lets just say the winter brewed ones were gagged down a lot more easily than some of the mid-summer ones

friend fathers fave rate band was tom pedie some sort of blind guitarist. which played the guitar sitting down.

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

Was that Tom Petty? As innthe skinny white guy with 20 20 vision? Pretty easily cofused with Mississippi John Hurt, Blind Blake, Blind Lemon Jefferson and the Reverend Gary Davis though...

 

[user 45423]

Jeff Healy from Roadhouse movie.

[user 45423]

I could not watch it on tv i was to young and his father use to say how the music back then was good they all grabbed a guitar and sang heavens door by guns roses but i did not know the words even . maybe see now what it ment to them then.

 

[user 45423]

remember this then "the tom petty for the band and the blind guitarist for road house blues then" and i could fined out later when i had grown up.

It gets worse - after the Brisbane River suppressed memory came back I also started to get flashbacks of Ben Ean Moselle and Kaiser Stuhl Tawny Port. What didn't kill us made us grow stronger...

Aaaargh!!! Three bottles of Tiffany's Summer Wine for $5.10 at the Bollon B & S in early 80's... still have nightmares. And the end result cost me dearly... :blink:

[user 45423]

[Camo6]

Pants-era is a bit overrated amongst homebrewers. Most of us try to brew without them.

 

[Bridges]

Sans pants. The only way to brew.

 

[user 45423]

this Mexicans yest is cheese smell again the stout mined you is very fruity smell.i think the normal beer is cheese smell yest and they do not bubble even then the stout did.

 

[user 45423]

i tried to seal it again but it still will not bubble the man from home brew shop said it can be as or better than a bubbling one still.

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

Airlock activity is not the only sign of fermentation taking place.
Some brews start fermenting earlier and more vigorously than others.
Give it 24 hours to start bubbling before getting too concerned mate, specially if the weather is cool.

Bugger me this is one surreal thread

We're slowly covering every topic known to man.

On a plus side, I think Alfred is gaining some knowledge in the field of home brewing and Tom Petty!!
