Polenta Brisbane

[Bribie G]

Heads up to any adjuncters in Brisbane, picked up a few repacks of polenta today from Geeta Enterprises - the Indian grocers in the McDonalds Arcade in Fortitude Valley - $2.50 a kilo, about half the cost of the supermarket variety. It's on the back wall with the lentils and dahls.

I can feel a mofo malt liquor comin' on

Awesome price that Bribie. For an adjunct...

 

[Bribie G]

Yup the problem with adjuncts nowadays is that they cost more than the frign malt - I tend to think of them as not so much an adjunct but a luxury enhancer :angry:

Anyone wanna go for a sucrose bulk buy from CSR? Start with a tonne.

Do they sell dextrose?

Tip truck backing up... beep beep beep

Participants in bulk buy please bring shovel, wheelbarrow etc.
I feel quite guilty, I actually raided my brewery to make buttered polenta with parmesan so I was looking to replace, and came across the repacks when I was stocking up on dahl, methi, tikka paste etc etc today.

Do they sell dextrose?

No but if you pop through the arcade to the Chinese Supermarket you can get the tubs of maltose syrup.
shitake mushrooms in a brew????

I cant find that gelatinised cryovac stuff you had at your brewday. Tried Safeway/Woolies,Coles/Bi-Lo... no good.
The stuff I did buy, a cereal mash with some base as you suggested ended up spot on, no mash potato consistency.

good one - yes the "regular" polenta just requires a longer boil. Broo day Broo is in CC now and I'll keg on Monday :icon_cheers:
