But if you're just after info on what has happened, head to AussieHomeBrewer website. There's an extensive discussion.

Link would be good

So, has anyone heard from Ross?
I've lost his email address. Anyone have it?

Looks like they have been severely hacked.
Shame. I was just about to place a large order.

Anyone else having trouble getting in to Craftbrewer? Seems like the site is down.
Also received what appears to be a scam email this morning.

You lost me at "AG grist mashed at a lower temp"
Never brewed AG Only enhanced kits and extracts. I always find that dex makes that kind of brew "watery" if you know what I mean.

Hi again.

This is the closest thing I have ever brewed to a LCPA. It's not too heavy. Wouldn't ruin it with dex.
I normally leave my brews for three months before drinking. This one I tried after three weeks in the bottle and it was fantastic.

Thanks Bullfrog. Will give it a go.
Have you tried this recipe yourself?

Just about to brew another batch of this wonderful recipe and have realised I have run out of Cascade hops. Any thoughts on how it would go replacing them with Amarillo?
This is a fantastic recipe by the way. :D

Hi Gibovski.

I'm not saying this is correct, but it may be that you had an infection in that particular stubbie. This will cause the beer to carb up a lot more than normal. I've had it happen to me once in 12 years of brewing.

Cheers

Probably closer to 3 weeks. Just check your SG readings.

Cheers

Thanks rw
Sounds nice, Will give it a try

Having just realised that my supply of Wazza's Honey Porter is running very low I need to make a few batches of something robust and flavoursome, but given the current temps I want to use a lager yeast.
Any suggestions on a full-bodied "lager" ? Enhanced kit or extract.

These are going on special from 13/03 at BigW.
Normally $83.73 will be selling for $64.73.

I did Leathals Chimay recipe It is great. My starter was dubious. But when I pitched it it really went off. Fantastic drop now after a couple of months in the bottle.

Give it a few more days 1018 is a bit high. Might get down to 1014.

I try to leave them at least 3 months. Currently have 12 batches of stubbies and 3 batches of longies in the bottle.

Hi aurelius

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but it isn't really a good idea making a starter from a dry yeast. Much better off just rehydrating it about 30 minutes before you need to pitch it. You will see if it is active and viable enough by then
