Sounds about right. I hear Apple has an app for that as well.

 

[peas_and_corn]

Nah, that's only if bum is presented in flash.

That only happens once in a blue moon.

Seems OK to me. Does everything I need it to and it hasnt locked up on me yet.
Is there something else I should know?

It's IE... that's all there is to know. IE (all versions) is non standards compliant, insecure and just generally a poor choice as a browser. Just about every virus and piece of malware on the web is written to infect through security holes in IE. You should do a real upgrade to a browser that works. Firefox is nice. I hear Chrome works well too. Safari and Opera are good as well. Plenty of choices.

I tried firefox and chrome, but theres a website that I have to use frequently (up to 20 times per day) for work which is not compatible with either.
I get email alerts with links notifying me that I have new messages (no its not facebook), so its a PITA copying and pasting links into IE when its not my default browser.

There's a lovely firefox plugin called IETab. Allows you to set up certain websites to appear in IE and when you go to them it open an IE browser inside a firefox tab. Completely seamless. I used to use it all the time at work (they used sharepoint which does not play nice with non MS browsers).

Thanks for the info Airgead.

I have just downloaded opera 11 and it seems to work with the site I need. Ill give it a go for a few days, but might check out IETab if this opera is no good.

Breaking the thread so far. These are my problems: mashed too low, fermented too warm, under-carbonated. 17 Ag's in and I'm positive these are my main three faults. Having said that the beers are really drinkable and miles ahead of my extract and K+K stuff.

I stepped up, but now I need to step up again, get over the novelty of AG and start making proper beer.

I've had my temp under control for the last few but I still think I've mashed too low and have undercarbed.

Try and over hit ur temps. Easier to cool temps with cold water if u over shoot than to heat up a whole batch. Carbing, well that takes a little practice and bulk priming helps or kegs!

 

[Lecterfan]

True dat. I've been bulk priming for years, but I am still getting the hang of doing it with AG brews. My AG brews are attenuating (correct word?) much more consistently than my K+K and extract brews. As such I am still using priming amounts that I was using with those old brews which was perfect for them because there were always more residual sugaz left from the can of goo. Now I think I am making (in my taste) much drier and nicer beers (generally finishing at 1.010/12) but there are less fermentables left in the brew itself. Thus I need to add more. I successfully uncapped a few bottles from my 3rd AG batch and added about a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar. That did the trick with that one so I might do that to a few more. In the meantime, the two brews to be bottled in another week or so will be bulk primed a touch higher. I notice using the priming calculators that now I have my brewing temps under control I should be using closer to 7gms per litre when in fact I have ben using 5 or 5.5gms per litre.

The other thing is that with old brews I would leave them for 12 weeks before getting stuck in, whereas the AG batches seem to be drinkable as soon as they are carbed...thus I have not been leaving them for 12 weeks to drink them so not giving the yeast the extra time to slowly work its (no apostrophe as yeast is an impersonal pronoun?) way through all possible fermentable matter.

Thanks for listening to the whinge/observations and for the advice everyone (and CM2!). I strangely feel bad talking about brewing in the off topic section, but it is such minor general whingey nothingness that I can't be f*cked putting it out there in the "proper" forum.


edit: to keep it of topic, my word for the day is propinquity.

Blew a keg last night... only been kegged for about 3 weeks. WTF!

On the weekend Father-in-law came over and got himself a beer. He was down at the fridge for 20mins and came back with 1 schooner. Said he had trouble pouring the beer and got foam everywhere. Told him it was typical for a first time pourer to spray it and the tap has to be all on, then all off. He also said when he cleaned up he accidentally left the tap on and beer was coming out, before catching it and turning it off... i assumed a drip here and there.... well for ***** sake!! i just realised he probably dumped about a quarter of the keg into the drip tray and on the floor!

C*nt

edit: typically it was the tastiest beer on at the moment and i had no fermenters going to fill it. Had to pitch to the fermenters last night in anger to make up for it.
