Found some bottles in a creek bank.

my "go to" beer is beechworth pale ale. it's just delicious.

Just curious, but why don't you just bottle condition the rye ale?

Personally I don't understand why you would carbonate in a keg and then transfer to bottles for a whole batch, it is far less time consuming to directly bottle after fermentation, you also minimise other issues, such as oxidization ...

I've done some interesting beers lately.


brewed an "APA" last month that I added roasted barley to, ended up a light bodied stout really and was amazing the first three weeks in the keg with the american hops, it then mellowed out to a tasty dark ale.

finally brewed out an altbier I had in a cube ...

No idea how it will go, but why not, it's friday

"Coppers sold a record 77.3 million litres of beer in 2014, up 7.4 per cent on 2013.

That accounted for about 5 per cent of the Australian beer market, according to Coppers."


I didn't realise the "Coppers" where selling that much booze.

brewed up a few APA in the last couple of weeks.

5 pales
1 altbier.

I haven't got much experience with s-04 (the two times I did it stuck at 1.020)

but if you are getting a stable reading of 1.012 ish and it has been 14 days, I'd say keg it.

drink the hydro sample and if it tastes like its done, go for it.

what yeast did you use?

had a quick look around for you..

sorry best I can do is this.

edit.
Wizard Smith..
East Kent Goldings appears to be the hop used for the brew originally.
Pride of Ringwood for bittering but the recipe in the link gets it's bittering ...

I did suggest that to the boss. Lead ballooned...

Yep room for one more. But at the moment its the co2 bottle or a keg. As you can see, the fridge location doesnt really lend itself to an external bottle.

Added another tap yesterday

Throw a keg of soda water on while you wait. Trust me Its awesome.
And keep some lemons on hand, its nice to have the option as a distraction from the beer tap.

LCPA at sydney airport. Only 3 hours until my flight home. Wont be my last one.

Royal mail brew crew saison.

A little rye Pog.
Been I the keg 2 months (a record for me) and delicious. .

It will be interesting to see what happens in court.
Innocent until proven guilty? ??

I recently went glamping and took a keg with me. It was left in the trailer for three days before we reached our destination.
My understanding is that if your sanitization was up to scratch when you kegged the beer then you should be able to keep it for a while refrigerated or not.
Keep in mind ...

Shame it wasnt much of a game. I spent Most of the game talking beer with a fellow brewer.
