Go get another fermenter, it is $60 at Kmart until 5th sep.
And of cause keep the one you have.

If you bleach it, the choline odor would probably mask any hops smell there. Which you need to rinse it a fair bit and finish with boiling water.

I have reculture yeast from a stubby, i start off with 30ml 1040 food, it takes 48 hours to see some action. With ~24C, they have a better fighting chance for survival.

nah I recultured yeast from microbrewery's bottle. I had it in primary for a week and 2 weeks in secondary.

I would rack and raise temperature to 22-23C, 1020 is pretty high considering what went in.

I soak mine in idophor (no rinse) together with a fermenter. The fermenter needs to be done anyway since I bulk prime.

Try take a reading for tap water, it should read 1.0000

The reading is too high. my cascade Choc mahogany porter + 1.15kg of LDME went from 1049 to 1007

I got 4 brew line up before summer.

Just had an idea to brew a saison in the middle of hot summer.

I am aiming at 24C. I think it would make it fruitier which suit wheat beer.

Went to QV (Melbourne) today and score a sixpack of Schofferhofer Hefeweizen with a FREE glass.

There are 3 type of glasses,
Schofferhofer Kristall - 0.5L tall glass
Schofferhofer Hefeweizen - 0.5L tall glass
DAB - mug like

These beer are for tasting as well. I got a glass from a demonstrator. If ...

I like the idea, only I would chill it immediately. They will become a bottle bomb when left unchilled.

It advertised on their newsletter.

It's time to stock up!

Just bought some Seville - very difficult to find.

Is there a difference b/w rind and zest?

I need to use the color skin (not the white layer) right? and left it to dry.

I read from some where suggested there are 10% difference for priming purpose. i.e. 1.1kg dex = 1kg suger

I used them on coffee.

If you refer to aroma, it will attenuate over time but with bitterness, I don't think so.

The problem is 2 tin will double IBU to around 34 X 2 = 68. I will add more malt to get around 6% Alc.

Thanks

Thanys guys.

I think i will throw in another 20g of Willa at flame out. I plan to use pacific gem as flavor and aroma but I have no idea what they smell like, I use it just because they use it in mountain goat IPA and it is on sale. I have 90g of pacific gem, I will to find some way to use them ...

Stella used to cost $70 a case but in the past 6 months (or longer), they sell it for $40 in Danmurphy as normal price.

I went to super market last week wanting to try home brand 2 can brew to make an IPA. I guess 2 can of draught will give me just over 40 IBU (bitterness).

Instead I found coopers bitter on sale and cheaper than dusty home brand tin, so I bought couple of those. After googling, I found each tin ...

I thought I got a bargain getting coopers bitter for ~$6.50 from safeway QV last weekend. This is even better...
