Okay so it tis a long time ago since I popped in. Tassie is nice and cool right now, perfect for my lagers and of course I am preparing for Christmas early with Ginger Beers for gifts, these are wonderfully welcome gifts, if they make it to the wrapping stage. I love to make bocks right now too, dopplebocks especially . No thats right dont do ales....... well maybe one or two .. Rainwater, cool climate, lager yeasts you cannot go wrong, do I own a hydrometer ? 8)

Stay well folks

You're right Deb.

Here in Melbourne we're having ideal lager brewing weather too. I've also been brewing a Berliner Weisse that apparently is meant to be brewed in the mid-teens so that's been outside for the last couple of weeks.

Cheers,

Tim
