Ace, looking forward to hearing you tasting results too!

Yep that's right, it's basically the outside of the skin without the white pith.

Hi, back for more questions re racking my Larger. I've been doing a hell of a lot of reading and have seen a lot of conflicting advise so I just want to get a basic idea and make sure I'm not doing anything wrong and I'll play form there.

1.5kg Blackrock Amrbe malt extract
1.5kg Blackrock Light ...

I've seen these HUGE swing top style brown bottles at Brew Craft stores a while ago, about 1.5 ltrs or so. I picked one up, yet to use it though

Yup sure enough mine kicked off after 48 hours and is now going quite steadily.

Lol, I put my larger on last night, sitting at a steady 12c and no action yet. I also used a dry enzyme. Glad I saw this thread or I'd be panicking too

I'm betting it will take a good 48 hours to get moving.

Drink old batch while reading about a new batch then get in trouble for spending too much time on the PC so I then turn to the 3rd option and shag the Mrs

Yeah thats my next move, a friend of mine can get onto large Red Bull fridges at a steal and I'm pretty sure they'll fit 2x kegs

That's cheap!

Nice, cheers mate. How do you go with bulk priming? Find it works well?

Oh 1 thing I forgot to add, Grape and Grain also carry 1ltr and 2ltr conical flasks at a very reasonable price.

Ha funny thing I was looking for stuff yesterday and came across this web site - http://www.labquipsales.com.au/

I'm after some 1ltr and 2ltr conical flasks for starters. I'll probably grab some other gear too.

I was always under the impression this was used for spirits?

Yep, I agree. If you REALLY want bubbles duct tape the lid, not that it really matters though

Have a beer and relax

OK all done, must say I'm pretty impressed. This little thing is awesome. I opted for the stainless probe to insert into the wort for more accurate temp readings. The guys at Grape and Grain helped me out with a washer, grommet and nut to suit.

I decided to use a pre ventilated case as apposed to a ...

I'm going to use styrian goldings myself in the fresh wort kit I have.

The 250g dry wheat malt is extract.

With regards to the torrefied wheat, it's all much the much. I'd say they've just been puffed then rolled. I don't see there being much difference. I've used the ones that look like popcorn ...

Yup a sticky for sure. A photo guide would be a huge help, as they say a photo speaks 1000 words Thanks for the help guys.

I aim for about 10-15 grams, well at least I will this time. I thouth 30g may be too much so I'm playing with the quantity.

Crush them up in a mortar and pastal if you have one, otherwise try a plastic bag and a rolling pin

Sounds good, I'll be sure to add more hops this time also!

Gotta get me some of this Amarillo, haven't used it yet but keep reading good reports on it.

Was down at Brewcraft last week in South Oakleigh and they said they were getting some Amarillo in soon

Hahaha, gladwrap, rooting, infections.....hmmmmm.

Yep I thought as much also, I mean providing I still have fermentation happening any Oxygen sucked in should be dealt with.

Hey another (off topic) thing I was thinking of -

I've seen Carboys used to brew and compressed C02 used to transfer liquid ...
