Things I Have Leart From Home Brewing

[stillscottish]

It pays to check the gas pressure setting on your regulator before using a carbonation cap on a PET bottle <_<

A regulator with a carbonation cap????

I think I stained the old Craftbrewer store carpet for life :lol:

It'll get there, don't fret! Freakishly cold is still 20+, right? Patience!

I have learnt that the SS ball valve purchased for beloved brew kettle and subsequently never installed is perfectly suited to fixing a dripping shower head.

I think the book "She - A History of Adventure " aka "She - Who Must Be Obeyed", from 1887 predates Rumpole by a little bit

I learned yesterday that 6.30 at night is not a good time to start a 3-step temp mash Bo-Pils.
Neither is it a good idea to get on the rum while you're waiting for the boil to finish.

Got it in the fridge at 3am

that sometimes you should make 2 trips instead of just one

 

[Pistol]

The more you brew and the better you get the more you drink and the more weight you put on!

I have to stop eating so I can drink more.

To always check the tap on the fermenter is turned off before dumping in a full cube. Thankfully only 3 or so litres were lost.

That I can throw out anything that is potentially useful to make room for something that may be vaguely usable for home brewing.

Did anyone else cry a little inside when they realised he dropped the equivalent of more than a full corny keg of beer in that video?

If in Sydney, that would have cost ~$20 a glass

I have made some Good beers .... mainly odd ones (read drinkable but not quite how I expected) ...

Craft Beers = new and interesting convrsations with many new and interesting people ... and offers you can not say no too ( 2 x 50l kegs of LC Pale Ale (NO ... NO JOKE) :beerbang:

I cant imagine life without beer !!!


even the Commander of Sector West is now a convert .... which is great because it means more beer tickets to buy more grain with !!


Life is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

I have learned (45 minutes ago) that gently whittling/tapering your beer lines to get them into the john guest fitting is an error.

A messy, messy error.

I've also learned to attempt that kind of thing while my wife is not around..

Thanks,
AndyO!

I told myself it was XXXX Gold before he picked them up just to be on the safe side.
