sorry... just reread this thread, and realised I hadnt posted the response...

it was awesome

mmmmmm.... someone 'fast' comes to mind...

maybe the glass had something on it ?

i found the same though, slighly undercarbonated, but each one had 2 lollies put in.

the choc malt in that one is a lot lighter than the choc malt i used in one i have fermenting now - different suppliers i guess. Will be interesting how it goes with teh ...

Tried that stout yet Sonny ?

My 2c worth,

Havent considered this, but sounds a good idea.

1- Forget the airlock, just leave the lid a bit loose.
2- Enough co2 will come out during sec transfer to put a co2 seal above the wort, so not sure if you would need to do a small sugar prime.

My only concern would be how would you ...

You're right Earle,

But I just feel like crap for not sending it off sooner.

... although Sonny is now getting a nicely aged stout instead of whatever was ready at the time.

Will join in another lotto in a while.

Cheers,
Chris

In todays post at last...

thats why i havent gone in any of the new lotto's, afraid I'll get behind.

Hey Sonny,
Have asked the cheese and kisses to get a postpack tomorrow, and on thursday will be
Sending you a nice bottle of rogue shakespeare stout.

I sincerely apologise for the delay, but hopefully its worth it if you are a dark beer lover.

A few other stout lovers have tasted it and sing its ...

Hi Sonny,
I havent forgotten mate, have had some disasters recently, and am away at the moment in sunny Kalgoorlie, will send you a bottle of rogue shakespeare stout, which a mate of mine just said is 'beeeeeudiful'.

if you like stout, I think you will LOVE this one.
Will print the recipe and put ...

sorry, my mash temp is around 66 - 69 deg c.

Not too good on words mate, but i would say the flowers are more aromatic, and nicer than my first years home grown cascade flowers, which I still very much liked.

The flowers are probably more of a citrus taste and aroma, and very very clean, they sort of hit you as really fresh tasting.
A real ...

Only with incorrect hop additions etc...

thats a good result if yours tasted ok after all that, you tend not to 'get away with it' as much with light beers.

I still do that recipe as my favourite, and I will highly recommend that you purchase some cascade flowers instead of pellets, i got some ...

Havent forgotten Sonny,
will have a nice bottle of Rogue Shakespeare Stout in the post by end of next week.

Hi Jeff,
The aa% of hops changes with different growers / seasonally etc, so you do need to be able to change the settings to match the hops that you purchased, or your IBU's will be out.

cheers,

Well, finished maltiny my barley last Thurs night, wasnt too hard actually.

Proof will be when I check my mash efficiency, will know next week.

Have a look for ''hopswest'

I grew my first lot last year, and its pretty easy, got all my hops from there, got great information with them.

I think they are a bit of a weed, and you have to stuff up an fair bit to have a poor return.

I put in 2 cascade, 1 hallertue and 4 chinook rhizomes ...

Well,
I finally started malting the barley last Thursday, and its about 2 days away from drying time.
have set up a box with a hot air gun and my ubeaut temp controller so it should be easy to dry.

I will take some measurements and let you all know how efficiency etc goes when I do my first brew ...

Speedies gone, feel free to use the forum as normal now.

Sat thru the rain last night and got absolutely soaked watching the Hawks do a job on my beloved Dockers.
