Gmax, i have no problem at all with the australian sense of humour, it is your sense of humour i have a problem with.
I also have a major problem with people saying whatever they want and then typing a bunch of smiley faces or hehehehe's after it and thinking it is cool.

If you think it is cool ...

I said this before earlier in this thread and it was never contested... but if you are not going to boil your water then why not just wash your fermenter with ordinary old tap water in the first place. I might not be the sharpest knife in the draw but i can't understand why you would go to trouble ...

Since this thread has been mentioned as one of the better ones on priming, I'll drag it up out of the archives.
Not really a question though.... just want to add my 20yen worth.

I read quite a few times that priming with sucrose would not affect the taste, even in this thread it has been mentioned ...

I bought a new fermentor a few days ago and tried bulk priming (which was an absolute pain in ...

I totally agree with r.magnay, if all you wanted was a recipe then that is what should have been asked for instead of bragging about how you ripped off Big W. I am not saying that i have never done anything wrong, and i certainly don't pity any corporation. But, this is an international beer forum ...
