[Lucky Luke]

Thanks m8

yes i did, i asked for the free sample. Postage was a killer but the dossage rates and whats on the safety card (available thru the webisite i quoted and not hidden like most) makes me think its worth a look. But if u watch that video with a drink on ur own for a few hrs, he sells it really well.
He is genuine.
Ignore the host he knows less than his panel.

i ferking joined a home brewing site a few years ago an aussie one but havent been back, looking at all the stainless gear folks have

Aussie Homebrewer site? Try Aussie Craftbrewer instead. Most of the brains-trust moved-across due to a stouch with the US-based owner being a cunt.

Yeah, the shiny, blingy stainless gear can get a bit exy & intimidating, but you don't honestly need it to make good beer unless you know WHY you're buying it & what it will bring to the table. It's the brewer that makes those decisions based on what & why they want to spend the coin.

Analogy:
Can you grow weed by putting a seed in soil & hand watering daily or just leaving it to the elements? Yes.
Can you grow in coco with daily hand-watering? Yes.
Can you spend a shitload of $'s on recirculating F&D systems under QB's, with electronic systems to monitor your pH & PPM with more electronically-controlled dosing systems to keep pH & PPM where you want them? Yes.

The decision on WHY to spend the $'s has to come from the grower, based on knowledge.

live music is always good. book a table for lunch for 1:30 and a taxi or lift home.
Im still not over Metallica being mainstream daytime radio.....

Good idea! We only live a couple of minutes' drive from the pub, so I might get the Missus to drop me off & come & pick me up (she doesn't like my taste in music.....).

or maybe they dont want to say and get turned down as we have tougher guidelines.

 

[bursto]

i tryed to show her a bigger stainless conical hopper than that

she went all jackie chan,, bad idea show the missus what your up to

just tell em later

 

[Rewerb]

i was looking to go grain and go a Brewzilla. Would use rainwater as well. I hate bottling so if i get back into brewing i want to do it properly.

Yeah. As much as I hate the cunts that sell the gear (It's a long story.....), it's a good option.

I started watching. I’ll finish it off later tonight coupled with a single malt or two.
Thanks again m8.

win/win

Doesn’t the cold temps from the ice cause the yeast to stall? I prefer fermenting in winter so the bloody heat doesn’t kill the yeast.

This. Anything with organisms or plant matter often gets refused by customs on the basis of bio security

 

[bursto]

whats saison

 

[reza92]

'Got a tip for you at this time of year: Saison

Please explain?

 

[2easy]

i know you guys r over me going to the tip n getting lights n stuff

just picked up three more of those MH lights lights before,,, just not 70w they 150w and me

not tested yet as i have to wire then up, but heres hoping

plus got the inkbirds

i dare one of you guys go to your local tip shop and buy your hydro gear there n post sum pics for us

Fuck you would have loved me. When i split with the wife i threw out a whole skip bin full of perfectly good hydro equipment. 1000w digital ballasts and lamps with high quality air cooled reflectors. Same with some 400w and 600w set ups. Full undercurrent hydro setup with pump, air pumps. A couple of tents even.

 

[Rewerb]

whats saison

Please explain?

Saison is an old Belgian farmhouse-style that's about 20% Wheat & sometimes spiced with a bit of Coriander & perhaps a touch of orange peel/powder (if you want to err towards a Belgian Wit beer). But not always...

They're a simple beer to make, but the beauty/management comes from the yeast used to ferment them. It loves warm temperatures & throws some magnificent phenolics (read flavour & aromas). They're absolutely BEASTLY fermenters as long as you keep the temperatures up (perfect for summer).

If you want to try a good commercial example, search-out a bottle of Saison Dupont (about $15 for a 750ml bottle). It's my "end-of-work" beer when I finish doing my stuff at homebrew competitions.
