Hi Fullbottle,
If and when you get the papers published I'd be interested in reading them.
Just let us know when and where.
Cheers

Have had a couple of Stubbies of Little Creatures PA on the weekend (don't like it ), but I will suffer through the other 4 stubbies.
also tried a couple of FAT Yaks, This tastes very simular to the Home brew I have on tap at the moment, but smells quite florally compared to mine, should pour the ...

Hmmm Pure Randomness,
I'll have to think about it

What do you mean I'm not spontaneous, I'm spontaneous every tuesday between 6 and 7pm

An Old Story but probably very true.


DIARY OF A POMMIE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA

August 31
Just got transferred with work from Leeds UK to our new home in Karratha , Western Australia ..
Now this is a town that knows how to live!
Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings.
I watched the sunset ...

Still been reading just not much talking, still only doing K&K's, no extra words of wisdom to add to the site

Hi Guys,
Just made my next Kit & Bits,
coopers Draught Goop ( at Flame out)
1 Kilo white sugar
500g Coopers Light Malt boxed
30 grams Centenial hops for bittering ( in boil for 40mins)
25 gram POR for flavour and aroma. ( at flame out )

I took a Hydro reading ( 21 litre's @ 24c ) and it read ...

Every 3rd brew or so I do a really easy and early drinker like a Hefeweizen or a Mild. Can drink those from 1 to 2 weeks post bottling. That allows my other stocks of APA, IPA, ESB, Pils etc to mature, before drinking those.
Once you know your average consumption, it is easy to plan your brewing ...

I just pulled the tap apart, and found everything easy to clean. Didn't find any difficult bits to get into

Hi Ron,

I'm guessing that your OG reading was perhaps artificially elevated by having some undissolved malt in the test tube (can happen if it's sitting towards the bottom of the fermenter and you open the tap. I like to discard my first 100mL, or so, before taking any test) and I'd guess that you ...

Just an Update.
Still in the fermenter, to a hydro test 6 days ago was 22, reading today is 14,
Sample taken for test is a creamy coloured beer, Taste is initially sweet and by the time you say " Hmm!! thats a bit sweet" you get this suberb bitterness, had to have another sip.

I'm going to leave ...

Had the same thing, Did the same thing.
What finally resolve the problem was pulling the pouring tap apart and giving it a good clean.
Cheers

HI Guys,
Just made a Kit and Bits but used Light liquid malt for the first time.

On the stove top I did the usual, boil the water add 500 grams sugar and disolved as normal, I then add a Kilo tin of Malt extact and it went real creamy light caramel colour and thickened right up.
I added the hops ...

oops missed that >.<

THat's a wild recipe. I'd thought that you would need a lot more apple juice to make it fly, is it good an appley?

And ale yeast with white sugar? Doesn't give it funny flavours? I thought you'd need wine yeast for that type of thing, I'm very intrigued and might just have to ...

I just stated drinking my 3rd Cider tonight, it is quite sweet and I hadn't added any lactose.

I think the sweetness has come from either the brand of apple juice used, or the yeast type, or possibly the brewing Temp. The cider I'm drinking tonight was brewed at a higher temp that what I had ...

no not yet

adz2332 wrote: also what yeast would u recomend from a packet? US05??

The yeast I used was the standard Coopers ale yeast ( i had it left over from using different yeasts from the ales)
I did have peoblems getting the yeast started in the Lemonade.

If it's me you're asking the question of, 20 litres as said in the post
top up with water to 20 litres

I ferment my ciders for 2 weeks the same as beer. Throw them in a keg for a couple of weeks at shed temp then into the fridge for another week while they cool down and carb up, then drink
they come out pretty darn good.

I saw the show also and thought that strange, But then I don't know anything ...

Cascade Choc Porter with added tettnang hops
Carb'd up ok but still tastes flat
