Done deal.

And when you persuade him to start kegging as you have, tell him to pass them on at the same price he paid.

I have 7 dozen Longnecks, some Twist Tops some Crown Seal. Some need a bit of a tub.
I have gone all stubbies in my bottling, and I would like these to go to a good home. Great opportunity for a beginner.
They are in the Newcastle area and they are FREE ... but you have to pick them up.

Regards, Pete

To Newcastle: 4 x 100g packs $5.40 or so.
Here within 3 days of ordering.

Cheers, Pete

Parrothead,

Been a fan almost that long myself. I have a 21 year old son who can't get enough of him. He reckons nobody sings drinking songs like JB. Leaves a copied CD at every party he goes to. If I could get him to drink Home Brew he'd be the perfect child.

Cheers, Pete

Hey Parrothead,

Is that name because you are a Jimmy Buffet fan.

Cheers, Pete

Hey Wambesi,

Me too. I had no time at all for Cascade products until I tasted Wassa's Choc Mahog.

Cheers, Pete

Tried this last week with an Amarillo Ale. Quite fond of mussels and this did not disappoint in the least. The Amarillo flavour hung around even in the boiling and was well received by all.

Go try it. I am going to give it another go with a Boonies LCPA.

Cheers, Pete.

Brownie,

I recently did a One Can Coopers Bitter with Half Cup steeped Crystal and made it to 11 litres. That' all, nothing else. I had read on here that it was well bittered, so no extra hops.

I know it isn't Belgiumy or the like, but even though young, this is already quite impressive.

So maybe ...

Same to you Wassa. Hope you have a really good one. I will crack a Choc Mahog for you around 11.00pm. My last for the evening.

Cheers, Pete

I can only agree Bolwell. Leave it out. My only basd experience was with Dry Enzyme. Not bottle bombs, but gushers. Had to open and reseal the lot, which is hairy enough, and what was left was over-carbonated.

Cheers, Pete

The males in our family are instructed each Christmas to bring along a Premium beer for every male of drinking age (7 this year). Every hour on the half-hour we drink one. We then score them. In between you can drink what you like. First year we did foreign beers (winner: Asahi Dry). Last year it ...

There is always a can of Coopers Real Ale in my cupboard. Pick it up when on special at Supermarket.

Latest recipe:
1 can Real Ale
1kg Coopers BE2
500g LDME
20g Goldings Steeped
Supplied Yeast
7 Days Ferment
7 Days Rack

Dead cheap. Dead simple. Dead tasty. A genuine Ale IMHO.

Cheers, Pete

Many thanks to you guys. I guess I can now get on with making a damn fine product even better.

See below.

Cheers, Peter B

So let me get this right:

Steeping with too hot water creates extra proteins, which become suspended, thus creating a haze.

Always boil the steepings of grains, even if temp of water is correct.

I knew you guys would know. You make this Home Brewing seriously enjoyable.

Cheers, Peter B

Bangers,

Go with Wassa's Choc Mahog Honey Porter. If you are not satisfied I will take it off your hands.

Cheers, Pete

This was the recipe:

1kg Liquid Malt
200gm BE1
1 Cup Carapils (Steeped)
Safale S04 Yeast
20gm Amarillo (20 mins)
10gm Amarillo (Flame out)
Made up to 11 litres
7 Days Primary
7 Days Racked
Bulk Primed 90gm Dextrose
Bottled in 20 Grolsch Bottles.

The contents looked cloudy and I was not sure if ...

Put me in the rwh category. I used to check with my hydrometer, but now I simply ferment for 7 days, then rack for a further 7 days before bottling.

Cheers, Pete

Whoops!! Just read a bit further. Don't consider it an act of stupidity ... I am extremely happily married and have three wonderful children and two fermenters.

Cheers, Pete

Honeymoons do that sort of thing to you. Congratulations.

Boony, you are a complete Hop Head, I know, I have tasted your brews. (Work it out for yourself if that is praise or condemnation.

Cheers, Pete
