Ill start. Kit combo, Dr smurtos James squire golden ale clone. Last week was put down. Had a taste of the hydrometer reading and its delicious.

Rae out. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thank god!

I thought it might be the missus :D

Sounds yum!!, i love ales!. WHat ingredience did you do?.

1 can Thomas Coopers Sparkling Ale
1 can Wheat Malt
250g Crystal - medium
15g Amarillo @ 15, 5 and dry hop.
Yeast - US05
Been sitting for about 8 days.
Actually fermented out nicely. Will leave for another week.
Cold condition - Hopefully I have my beer fridge by then. Other wise the missus may query why, when she gets home, the fridge is missing all shelves and items. And holds the fermenter instead.... :laughing-rolling:
Fermented out at 16'c.

Really looking forward to this one. Will be my first kegged as well. So I will probably over, or under carb.

Cheers

That's a great yeast, I use that for all ales unless I'm going Belgian when I prefer the Wyeast Belgian Abbey 1214.

I always pitch onto the yeast cake for my little creatures clone which I hop up the whazoo with nelson sauvin.

Yeah I've only used it maybe a couple of times. I prefer having the yeast ferment out at lowest temps possible. (have not played with lager yeasts though).
Do you just re-brew onto the trub? I worry about infection... To be fair I've been more concerned with spirit wash's lately. But now I've moved onto kegging :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Supermarket bought coopers Aus pale ale. :oops:

Its actually not a terrible drop the pale ale, I just made a tea stew and added a touch more Pride of ringwood. Its effective enough :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just kegged!
JSGA K & K.
Been on slow force carbonate for about a week at room temperature.
Still waiting on beer fridge and keg taps etc.
But just poured myself a room temperature beer, then freezer-ed, still a bit green but definitely has potential.
A bit of beer hose attached to beer pin lock connect pours a very heady beer. :laughing-rolling:

Next will be a fat yak clone attempt once my hops arrive!

Cheers

Bottled the Pale Ale, whilst getting still setup, dropped this in the Fermenter...
Morgan's Golden Shaaf Wheat beer

I've begun BIAB, fermenting out a 10 min Amarillo IPA, A Nelson sav. Ale, and going from a Carlton draught lager clone. All grain! Cost me about half as much as k & k. Can't wait to keg it!

Just put about a 3rd of a batch of special bitter down the drain :cry:

Walked into work this morning to the lovely sound of a bottle detonating, urgh #-o , Just spent the last 30mins popping tops and getting drenched in beer, the customers are going to have to put up with me smelling like a brewery today

Don't get that problem with kegs,
Just over-carbonated beer as a worst case scenario.
After bottling, rack to keg, chill overnight, set the reg and voilà!
Anyone else here AG??

Yeah I quickly went from k&k to ag when I first started brewing after I couldn't formulate the beer styles I wanted to make from k&k. Just did my first run on a new 50l braumeister the other week - did a glenmorangie clone attempt. Next is to see what it does with my 90 min IPA recipe.

Just looking at beer in a bag brewing its all grain but you do it in the one boiler
Dont know if you are allowed to link to another site

It works out cheaper than K&K, definately worth a shot. I've just started to get it down pat!

And night and day nicer :handgestures-thumbupleft: just a bit more work.

I'd love get into kegging but we're a 4 fridge household at the moment so I don't think it'll happen anytime soon :sad:
I can't complain too much though as it's the first bottle bomb I've had and it gives us an excuse to get drinking them quick :))

Yeah I know the fridge dilemma.
1 good fridge in the house.
1 keg fridge in the garage.
1 brew fridge with stc1000 next to the one in the garage.

Mind you its a single garage that we struggled to fit the girlfriends astra..... :laughing-rolling:

Yeah,
House fridge
House Deep freezer
Laundry Drinks fridge
Laundry Brew fridge
2x Laundry Brew mats
Keg Bar fridge
Bar beer fridge
Then add on top a pool pump and a shitty old aircon unit, fuck the carbon tax, this shit is expensive :?:

I do AG on a 3v setup, as for fridges I got 1 house fridge, 1 house freezer, 2 fermenting fridges and a chest freezer for the kegs (keezer) :P

Cant complain about the cost I done a 15min wheat beer on the weekend so first hops went in 15mins and another at flame out it cost me $46.70 for 42lts of beer at 1.048OG and used liquid yeast :D

cant complain at that!
