Sorry I better clarify. I use 100% sodium perc as a no rinse.

When I use napisan or the like I rinse and use Iodophor as a sanitiser.

Cheers, Mat.

going to melbourne next weekend to watch the nephew and his mates (freo) kick hawthorns ass at the G :)

are there any craft brew pubs close (walking distance) to the G we can get a meal and a brew ?


cheers to All.

Wasting your hard earned coin Chris...

Best you stay at the bar :wink: :D ...

I believe speedie successfully recultured some. AND he's just around the corner!!

Bravo & Cascade AIPA... 53 IBU of pure goodness

Had a few tonight and finding it hard to focus.. All good my taste buds are in heaven!!

Only 12.5 IBU of Saaz ? Seems a bit low to me, but would love to hear what you are looking to achieve.

Pils/Rice 80/20 looks good, should make a nice crisp lager.

Yeah I went for a "Standard American Lager" by style..

I'm after something crisp & dry like Asahi. I'm thinking the rice edition ...

My first foray into rice today.

80% pils
20% rice

Single hop edition of Saaz to 12.5 IBU

Yeast: undecided.. Was thinking S-189 but open to advise.

Mashed @ 65C

Hoping to get a nice clean inoffensive lager

Cheers, Mat.

Crikey, that sounds very close to what I was planning. I was thinking Cervesa can, 1kg BE2, 15g citra @ 10min, 10g citra @ flameout, to 23l. Is it as strong as nelson sauvin in its fruitiness?

Mine was to 21L

Personally I think Citra is alot fruiter than NS but maybe it's because I've used NS in ...

I think I used 10grms @ 10mins and 15grms @ 0mins in 1L of water with 120gms of Dex. Added to a can of cervesa & 1kg of LDM.

It is very fruity and kind of overpowering. Not to say it won't mellow but I would go a bit less next time. I was surprised at how powerful this hop is as I have done similar ...

Could have been "John Citizen"...

That bloke has so many credit cards it's not funny... Must have a good credit rating

Will you supply the ingredients??

You supply the formula & grist & I'll do it BIAB so you can see what you think...

the brews have been under sampling for the last two months and i must say that it is going quick
the ferment with the northwestern yeast seemed to be more pleaqsing on the palette at first but now after some conditioning time the us 05 has polished up well also
when i do this beer again i will ...

You will want to bring it back to room temp to carb up.

Aha, I think I understand now. I was trying to avoid having to buy any extra cords and so was looking for a solution that could run off the power cable of my chest freezer.



You can do that too. I have done that with both of my chest freezers (both F & P). Heaps neater than putting in a box and ...

Heaps of diagrams on AHB. Maybe have a look there. There's also a couple of resident sparkies that can help you out.

I wired my own wasn't too hard but would pay to get someone to check it out if you are unsure. Otherwise PM me and I'll see if I can help you out.

Cheers, Mat

For experimenting you would still be best going fresh ingredients.

If you're trying a new hop / yeast / grain and you don't like the taste / aroma was it the hops / yeast / grain or the stale goop?

6 months out of date you may get away with it... nearly 4 years.. I don't like your chances

Mate for what $10 or $11?? I wouldn't use it. Don't take the risk of using inferior ingredients.

No doubt you will make beer and it will be drinkable (probably) but it won't be good beer.

I believe fresh quality ingredients is right behind sanitation & along side temp control in level of ...

I second that motion!!!

I'd use an ethylene glycol based coolant. Probably because I can get it fairly easily for nothing.

Check this chart out for the concentration % required http://www.temperaturecorporation.com/pdfs/glycolconcentrationrequirements.pdf

It would contaminate your beer if it came into contact (got into ...
