It's not the alcohol. I am a fan of Piraat Ale. Just not a fan of dark beers.

Just kept all roll tops I've drunk over the years.

I'm a fan of the 500ml bottles. Good size.

Another one in the "thinks its a bit overrated" club.

Not bad, but not the orgasmic experience I had been lead to belive I would have. Prefer to drink something a bit more relaxed, like a Pale Ale than that.

At my place we have tank water - probably should get a filter etc etc but for some reason I prefer the taste it gives homebrew.

Point taken.

Talking to a friend at Uni who comes from out Broken Hill way - he's dug down into the ground and stores his beer underground.

In a very cool garden shed under some very dark trees. Even in summer it never gets above about 20 degrees C.

Uncles has lasted 17 years so far. Still seems ok, and it is constantly used.

After reading this I feel like kicking myself.

Was given some you-beaut Salf lager yeast, but didn't know much about temps or anything. I couldn't get the temp much below 21. Is this beer now undrinkable?

Brown/Clear/Green bottles?

I have been constantly told only to use brown bottles, and have constantly ignored this advice, using predominately green bottles.

As my hb is stored in a dark place - no sunlight at any stage, this shouldn't cause a problem, right?

I'm a firm beliver in the bottles that come with an obscure Hungarian Dark Beer called Dreher Bak. About 550 ml with Crown seals. Excellent size.

All done.

Yeah, I was just using a mallet style system, as I am running low on $$ at the moment, but it seemed to all work out.

Capping Screwtops

Once again, apologies for being such an absolute novice and all.

In the process of sterilising and washing bottles. I have been given a large amount of bottles recently, and I noticed a fair few of them are screwtops.

I only have a handcapper. Will this work ok?

Excellent.

Could well actually be brewcraft now that you mention it. Bottling tommorow. Then on to a nice Czech Pilsner.
