Somewhere I read using rum and oak spirit essences was an easy way to do it.

Have also been looking to try the rum porter but havent had any luck finding it around my neck of the woods.

Like I said in the other thread , IBS had some a couple of weeks ago.
They're the sort of place in Perth that would keep it in stock.
Happy hunting.

Thanks Mr Dave, might make some un ...

Actually I think it was liquor barons.. but now I think about it more maybe it wasnt, is liquor barons the one close to planet video?

If your serving pressure isnt high enough (or it is overgassed) the CO2 will come out of solution I have found. Also if you have a fridge tap the first half glass or so tends to be a bit frothy untill the tap cools down.

Do you think the price you are paying effects your judgement somewhat? Kind of like a placebo?

Got some of this at my new local bottlo the other day. Nice beer but not worth $7

(if anyones wondering it was at liquor barons on beaufort st mt lawley)

Nope, just the cascade and once with no hops.
It would probably go pretty well with whatever hop of choice you use. The US-56 seems to make a really nice crisp ale and brings out the hops flavour/aroma.

Morgans Blue Mountain Lager
1kg Light Dry Malt Extract
25g Cascade Hops
Safale US-56 Yeast

Tastes really good young, dont think I will get a chance to taste it as it later on at the rate its dissapearing with my brother and sisters bf here.

As long as your purge the headspace with co2 they should be fine to just leave.

Made this with a US-56 yeast and about 14g golden cluster hops and it turned out very nice.

Is it worth putting the rasberries in a blender or something?

The morgans blue mountain lager and the muntons pilsner are very nice.

Put one of these down yesterday with 1kg LDME and 30g saaz hops with saflager w34/70 yeast.. Will let you know how it went in a month or so if I remember

Count me in also.

Just the usual.. leave the fermenter tap open then realise theres a bunch of malt going onto the floor

If you dont have a grain mill an easy way to crack grain is to put it in a plastic bag or a tea towel and run a rolling pin over it. (you dont want to turn it into flour, just crack the grain open)

My understanding with using grain is you steep it in 70 degree water for about 20 minutes, strain out ...

Not sure on the protocol for this but my work has some decent specials happening this sunday untill the end of the month that I thought I would share.

Morgans Australian $10 each
Coopers Brewmaster & Premium $10 each
Brewcraft Imported $15 (1.8kg and 1.5kg)
Morgans 23 L keg system (instructions ...

Muntons Pilsner, 1kg light dry malt, 15g saaz hops, 10 willamette hops, safale us-56 yeast

Possibly Morgans Yukon Smoked Ale
1kg light malt
US-56 Yeast

Mainly because ive heard a lot of weird descriptions (egg and bacon breakfast etc) of this beer and want to try it myself.

It's a good beer to bring out when your mates are around. Just to see the looks on their faces when they take ...
