thanks!

well, I'm back from my trip, and I managed to find IHS at Beechboro road. They've got quite a good range. Didn't get to meet Neil, but spoke to a lady there (didn't catch her name)...if you noticed a dip in their hops supply, that was me

Slammer, do you have the address for TWOC or a contact number? I went to their website, but they do not have it listed - http://www.homebru.com.au/index.html

Hi all,
I'm making a trip to Perth in 2 week's time, and hope to pick up some things from there. Specifically, I'm looking for a bench capper, small airlock, dry malt extracts and lots of hops. Would anyone have a shop to recommend? Thanks in advance!

Does it taste ok? If it tastes alright, I suggest keeping it till its done.

And BTW, in case anyone is wondering...

We can also advise that Black Rock Whispering Wheat beer kit contains both malted wheat and barley.

Got a reply from Blackrock, posting the numbers here in case anyone is interested (sorry about the formatting, can't seem to get it right). Does anyone know how to convert them to EBC and IBU??

keat,
if you REALLY REALLY want this stuff, and you have the ability to control oven temperature reasonably accurately, I have the instructions somewhere for how to make it. Essentially, it involves sugar, in the oven, for controlled temperatures for certain times.
In the end, I decided not to ...

If need be, you can get Belgian candi sugar from Grain and Grape in Melbourne.

They do mail order, too.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I'm in Singapore and they don't ship international. Even if they do, the shipping cost is higher than the actual ...

Na keat ya got it all wrong, it's written in German. It's a finer grade of caramel candy you might be able to find it in a european style deli, that stuff is pretty popular in europe so one of those style deli's would be your best bet. Any other questions feel free to ask, I lived in southern ...

Hi all,
does anyone know if the "Kolner Grummel Kandis" mentioned in this site http://pfeifer-langen.com/260.php is Belgian candi sugar? I don't read Belgian, so...

From my experience, 18 Deg C is the best temp to brew it. Any lower and fermentation gets stucked. If it happens, you'll need to bring it back up to 18 Deg C and rouse the yeast by swirling the fermenter. This was what I did for my last brew, and it came out fine.

I haven't been able to find an email address to contact them (Canterbury Brewer). Googled and even tried yellowpages.co.nz, no luck

anyone? please?

Well, I've gone and added extra wort, the bitterness level has gone down to a more acceptable level. :D

Even with the current level of bitterness, I'm hoping it will mellow down as it is still harsh. The downside of this whole episode is that the hop flavour has reduced abit too.

I was using ...

Hi all
does anyone know the IBU and EBC for the Blackrock Whispering Wheat and Pilsener Blonde kits? Thanks in advance!

Hi all
is there a way to rescue a over-bittered beer? The IBU is about 45, which looks ok on paper. But wait till you try it out! Makes my lips all puckered up... It's currently in the primary fermenter and I was thinking of adding 3-4L of wort with the same OG to counter the bitterness. Does this ...

thanks for the info DD, but I thought the liquid malt extracts are boiled to kill off any nasties, before they are canned?

Hi everyone
can anyone advise the use of carapils or cara-pilsner grains? I've done a google on it and have gotten confusing information. Some sites mentions that it is a dextrine malt, used for head retention and mouth-feel, does not add color or flavour. Other sites mentions that it DOES add color ...

Does anyone know the IBU for the Black Rock Co NZ bitter? thinking of converting it to an APA. Foolish idea?

Thanks in advance.
