[mika]

It's all good, we're still less than 1/8" of the QLD thread. Sounds like we'll be enjoying some mighty fine beers over Christmas

 

[Guest Lurker]

Settle down.

Case swap is not this weekend but next weekend. I have sent PMs to everyone on the swap list with details. If you didnt get one let me know.

Well my ESB was put in the fermenter yesterday. I know it's a little bit early to be brewing, but hopefully it should be ok.

Barf, I guess I need to hand over the baton as "master of the last minute brew"

i've got a couple of spare heater belts if u want mate?

 

[facter]

hmm, actually i didnt think about that ... its just goign so damned slow. I used a pack of american ale 2 that id had int he fridge for a few motnhs and it only fired up on monday (i did it on saturday) and it aint cruisin along very quickly.

dont want to produce bottle bombs .. I do have a heater pad actually that I might put underneath to spur it on a bit, but I have the high temp fear in me haha


Im just crossing my fingers that when i get home Friday its all done .. but ill put the pad under it tonight. The only other brew I have atm is in secondary and its actually a cider and nowhere near ready in terms of age, but Ive been throwing around the idea of bottling that up anyways.. but havnt put the oak in yet =/





On the other hand, today I saw flowers on my Goldings and my Cluster is almost ready for its first harvest, so not all is bad in brew-land.

Umm, beer isn't meant to have slimy white stringy stuff on top, is it?

Looks like my heroic last minute effort was completely wasted. I guess I'll be heading off to buy a carton of shame

Sorry gents.

if it was spontaneously fermented or a wild yeast then that is probably acceptable if not then sorry to hear about the infection time to bomb your setup with caustic.

 

[mika]

An infection that quickly ?

I can see the Bottle labels now

"Barfridges Belgian Surprise" (shudders) h34r: At least kook will like it, maybe you could give him your fermenter as well

 

[Guest Lurker]

Does sound fast for an infection to take hold. Bottle it anyway. Asher and Kook will love it. If going the commercial route, I havent had a long neck of EB in years, might be quite interesting.

Hahaha...think you missed the S (ESB) out of that abbrev. there Simon...least I hope you did h34r:
