I just used the scoop method from wyeast 1056 ale and scooped it into three new batches which are currently happily fermenting away after 4 days. Thanks for the advice.

Would it be an issue to wash the yeast after I bottle these batches?

No issue, it would be fine IMHO. I only re-use a yeast ...

Good to see you on here again Boonie. Hope the finance sector continues to provide you with plenty of shekels.

You know, of course, that you are famous on here for your LCPA clone, and not only on this forum, but also another one or two in Oz !

Very good memory Warra with my banking career!!

I ...

Cheers Oliver, twas here that I learnt so much.

Knew I read it on the label

Thanks Gents.

Oliver not trawling other sites, just waaaay to busy with life in general plus once I moved house and lost my awesome brew room under the house, it killed my passion.

The 2nd wedding that I have just done rekindled my spirit, plus I have another mate who I am now teaching how to brew ...

Instead of using the entire yeast cake, scoop out a cup full (sanitised jug) and add that to a clean, sanitised fermenter (or clean the current fermenter). No CO2 required.

Exactly what I still do when I have a liquid or decent yeast on hand.

I even put mine in the fridge for a couple of weeks ...

Sorry Lisa, just saw this.

I don't think it will change it too much depending on your boil time....don't put the kit in in future

How did it taste?

Cheers

Lisa,

My regulator has 'bar' and 'kpa' on it. If you have these readings on your regulator I suggest the following.

With beer cold, connect the gas and turn it up to 230kpa (2.3 bar) for 48 hours (beer cold) or 320 (3.2 bar) for 24 hours and this will be plenty IMHO. If it is too much, leave the ...

Ladies and Gents,

I remember the Pale Ale before they re-named it 150 lashes, good marketing.

I have just finished serving the 15 kegs of black, bitter, draught, light beers and Sparkling Ale (thanks Doc for the light recipe) for another wedding and was thinking of trying to replicate JSPA using ...

Fellow novacastrian hard at work

Sure, so far I have 70 excluding relatives.

Just back from Bali, so I am very inspired with lots of ideas.

Hi warra,

Yeah mate, still in banking. Don't get on much these days, too much happening and my brewing has been suffering....

Still making the LCPA every now and again when I feel the urge, tried different variances but the original is still lovely and hoppy. Moved a couple of times (bought and ...

When doing a brew, and you reach the bottling stage and you do find it to be bad smelling or just 'off', do you still bottle and hope or what? Also is it still drinkable, what i mean is whats the worst that could happen - the shits maybe? :shock:

Depends what the smell is like. Different yeasts ...

I have checked all of my kegs for leaks and haven't found anything.

The actual pressure gauge of the keg doesn't go down indicating pressure is being leaked.

Perhaps I need to gas my beer more initially?

Cheers,

Paul.

Very late repy as I have not been on here for a while.

Replace all your ...

I have kegs now but still do a few in the longies.

I like the "traditional" look and feel of the longies.

If you are after longnecks cheap, keep an eye on ebay and the local rags as sometimes they come up.

My mate gave up brewing and gave away 400+.......sign out front of his house, free HB ...

Success....I just did HB for a wedding, YES a wedding.

I did 5 of the above "Tooheys Recipe" and 3 Morgans Bitter with 1.5kg of Morgans Liquid Malt and a Black.

All kegged and poured from 5 taps and a home made bar...home made spirits as well (not mine).

Draught went down well and the Black went ...

Hi guys I'm thinking about putting down a Draught mix my 1st one maybe a Coopers Original Draught or the Thomas Coopers Traditional Draught, basically want an easy K&K recipe, can anyone recommend an easy recipe and roughly if it what sort of beer it will be similar in taste or style too ?


Cheers ...

I used both in the recipe and it was a lovely beer....posted a couple of pages earlier.

LDME 1kg
Liquid Extra Pale Malt 1.5kg used this because I thought I had another 2kg at home but it was Wheat Malt
black grain (crushed) 80g Edit....In pot at 66 degrees celcius for 1 hour, strained and sparged ...

When you say the longer in the fridge the better, what is the upper limit on this before it gets silly? Two weeks?


Should I transfer a little of the trub or absolutely none of it?

Thanks again guys.

Transfer no trub.....2 weeks is plenty

Go the big one.

Mine fits in my kegerator with 2 x 19 Litre Kegs, so it is not unsightly and a bottle lasts me about 5-6 Months.....sometimes less in summer.

Cheers
