:lol: :lol: :lol: So true. You must have had to much time on your hands.

 

[AndrewQLD]

I think " incandescent Bulb " is what they are called.

 

[bum]

Surely you mean "energy saving compact fluorescent lamp"?

 

[earle]

I'm not an AG brewer so I don't need one of those fancy smanshy 'light bulbs'. I just use a candle, easy as. :lol:

As an AG brewer with a 3V system, I feel entitled to inform you that i do not consider your candle a true form of illumination.

Cheers SJ

 

[drsmurto]

Candle? Someone's showing off.

I use a match :icon_cheers:

 

[Pennywise]

How can you say that SJ? All you blokes with you fandangled gizmo's know nothing about how lighting used to be done, the candle was used for ages before the light bulb, therefore, if you don't use a candle, you're not a real brewer.

Edit: See, Smurto's hard core

 

[Supra-Jim]

If that's the case Pennywise, show me competition results where a beer brewed by candle light actually won an award or even placed in a recognised BJCP event!

BTW, if anyone is interested I have located a company in China who has started manufacturing their own light globes and am gathering interest for a bulk-buy. I have been assured they are of top quality and even have first hand assurance that a number of commercial brewers here in Australia already brew with them.

Cheers SJ

 

[Pennywise]

No point asking here SJ, none of us are good enough to brew under Chinese lights :lol:

In all seriousness, BJCP was created after the invetion of the bulb, so most people done away with proper methods before those sanction comps became to be. C'mon man :lol:

Queue BribieG's picture of the cupboard in his garage, full of lightbulbs.

Queue BribieG's picture of him holding up a lightbulb so we can see the clarity

Queue BribieG's picture of the Yorkshire Square lightbulb manufacturing processNevermind.

 

[JestersDarts]

Our family was so poor that we used to huddle around a candle just to keep warm.

And when it got really cold, we'd light it.

 

[earle]

Thats nothing, our family was so poor we couldn't even afford dried cow dung to make a fire from, even though dried dung was free. We had to huddle around steaming fresh ones.
