Bad luck, Shaun. I heard about that Monica.

Hope you've got some where safe and stocked with beer...

Welcome to the forum, pixelboy.

Well, I figured I could do the lot tomorrow.

Go to the march, few coldies with lunch, then home to get the brew going.

Learning heaps here too.

Shame on me...

I was considering a brewday tomorrow. Started the yeast, collected the ingredients, etc. Then I realised...

I usually attend the ANZAC Day parade, if I'm not working. This year I have the day free and thought "brewday"...

Am I hooked on this hobby? Yes...

LEST WE FORGET...

Yeah, tom...

Maybe a Gregorian chant...

Same price as my local Coles too. Sometimes they have it on special, but I haven't tried it yet.

Remember to rack first, then bulk prime. 7 to 10 days in between.

No, don't ditch it.

When you pour it, just convince youself that there are undissolved rice grains in your American style PA, not maggots.

Neck it and see...

The Doors...yeah

"Woke up this mornin' an' I got myself a beer..."

The Who gets me on my feet, after a few brews.

Hi

Found this calculator, among others...

Oh, and bottle it right away.

Plastic is fantastic...

Glass is class...

Have to say, Led Zeppelin has to be the ultimate drinkin' band...

I'm listening to The Eagles, Desperado, while supping a dark ale.

What's your fave drinking music?

I was concerned that the temp was a little high, but it seems it is fine...I can also smell the hops as the ferment progresses...

Well, I've done just that...the wort tasted good, the ferment took off well. Looking forward to the sample...

I got a CMP from Coles (on special $12.95) on impulse a while ago, and spent a while wondering what to do with it.

Reading the above and blatantly copying recipes, today I put down a brew using 500g yellow box honey, 500g dark malt extract, 500g dextrose, Safale yeast (proved beforehand) and ...

IC,

I have the perfect temperature in my dining room, plus the ultimate, understanding spouse.

I've heard about those Darwin stubbies.

Like to have few myself.

Not this year, but the next, I will be working and studying for a year in Berlin. I will be making the trip to Munchen for the Oktoberfest.

See you there...

Ok...have to ask.

I sit here, at my dining room table, sampling my Coopers dark ale, with the magic sound of "gloop, gloop" of the Cascade pale ale in the background.

What is a "tallie"?

Hi again

I use a jug. My containers are king browns which I decant into jug then pour to a pilsner glass.

Cheers

WJ

PS Are you going to the Munich Oktoberfest?
