Wierd hey, a tinny in the shape of a bottle.

Nah, i live in Cairns.
Whats the bet you guys live in Townsville.

By the way, what is a brewers club ?

Where is "up here" ?

Hi all.

On my recent trip to Melb i did the C.U.B tour & found they had bought out some aluminium beer bottles for the Comm games etc & so i picked up a six pack of the Fosters ones but they had run out of the Crown Larger ones & Sterling.

Does anyone have one or two they might part with for my ...

I was a little pissed when I wrote this.

What I meant was that he's a mean prick for teasing you, taunting you, by sending you that pic of him outside a brewery.

Cheers,

Oliver (sober)

Yeah i know what you ment, all good.

My brother is in the UK at the moment & sent me a pic of him at the Guiness Brewery after the tour through.

Im not a Guiness drinker but still would love to visit such a place, lucky bugger !

Whats the go with the bulk priming ?

Why dont people use the carbonation drops ?

Quick & easy !

Do you rack the beer for secondary or leave it on the yeast cake?


Yeah as said i leave it in the primary for one week then rack to the secondary for another week.

There is a little bit of sediment in the secondary (of course) but i hope this isnt enough to cause the problems you discussed with ...

It is only needed to remove beer from yeast in primary when the temperature is hot such like 25 deg Celcius. If the fermentation is kept "cool" being in the low of 20s, then the yeast will reabsorb some of its by products as well as fall out of the beer.


I keep my primary down to around 24 to 26 ...

No, I reckon you're doing well. I leave mine in the primary for two weeks. Maybe you could do that then rack off for another week. This should remove even more sediment

Two weeks hey, i thought its best to remove the beer from the yeast cake soon as & then let settle in the secondary.
Not that im ...

Ive been kit brewing for a little while now and the beer has been ok.

Same here, give it a quick rince after you finish them or the next day & then just store them up side down.

Just a quick rince in some cleaner then rince with fresh water.

Couldn't be botherd to use the bottle brush.

My cleaning procedure hasn't changed from my other brew & they turned out ok, its just iv never noticed it before.

Just worth a mention.

No problem getting stubbies here, each monday morning i usualy get at least one carton of emptys from the lads at work.

Its outside.

Im asuming its sanitizer residue but this also would of been on the inside before i bottled.

Tonight after bottling i took a close up photo of the bottles to see if i could see how clear the Morgans Amber Ale was, when i looked at the pic you could realy see a large amount of white powder residue on them that i couldn't see normaly.

Did i not rince them enough & if not would this hinder ...

Yeah it was a bit cold here the other day.........i nearly had to put a T shirt on.

Well my old man drinks VB from a can & always has .

Very interesting there Shaun, i might just put Crownies on my don't drink list too then.
