Good luck Phil.

I am yet to experience the effects of our weather on ferments!!! Do you use a standard yeast (lowans) or something that can handle this kind of temp?

All my ferments are in the shed no insulation and it is over 40 regularly here. I havent had a frement fail yet, all of my ferments have been lowans seems to be a pretty tough yeast :handgestures-thumbupleft:

we just got nailed by a big storm...flattened the chook shed, took out 7 or 8 other trees and more importantly, knocked over a demijohn of hearts neutral :crying-blue:

Do you like to bang on about the weather?

Your mates sick of hearing about it?

Here's the solution

Very clever :smile:

Nice drop of rain here on the east coast, problem is I'm stuck in the shed with only 1 beer :scared-eek:

:laughing-rolling: You better pour yourself a vodka then. :teasing-tease:
We got let off lightly compared to the south. While out for lunch though, their was a massive gust of wind sounded like a plane air braking but much louder, all of a sudden the umbrellas just disintegrated into bits then flew through the air like projectiles.. :wtf: My first response was to run over to where my four year old was looking off the deck ( on the second story) and grab the other one and drag them inside, which everyone followed soon after. :o :o :o :o

RAIN!! Finally. Feels like a nice set in shower :pray:

floods... joy...

yes, i get the irony of my last post.. :laughing-rolling:

Yeah looks pretty hectic in places up there again, hopefully they can hold it back. Pretty fucking hard task tho :scared-eek:

Hope you blokes go ok DJ we got fuck all from it can u send some up here? Our water supply is looking pretty slim for the next 12 months :handgestures-thumbdown:

Well the weather is sure playing havoc with me getting my new power supply for that 3Kw element I got sitting here waiting to power my 200 litre mash tun I want to build and get going.

Paid for it about 6 weeks ago and everytime the seller has packed the truck for the drive to Brisbane to drop it off at the freight depot it has been bloody raining and cutting off access to the pacific Hwy. The first time my new power supply ended up in the shed kitchen to keep it out of the flood waters. Then Debbie comes along and the new power supply is loaded on the truck fully sealed with the others then several tarps are thrown over. The truck is parked in the shed and the water line stopped just shy of covering the truck wheels.

Got an email saying hopefully a week monday QLD should be open again so he will head up there with some 44 gal drums of clean diesel for the trip home as for sure water contamination would be at the pumps after the floods.

Anyway my new power supply a 16HP single cylinder Listeroid Diesel to spin that 5Kw generator head I got given for free as it didn't work ( a 12 volt battery soon fixed it :)) ).....

@Doubleuj, how's the Fitzroy travelling?

Yeah, she's coming up but we're used to it, most of the time, and this one especially it comes up so slowly that all those in the flood area are prepared, I'm personally well out of the flood area.
Just makes it a pain in the arse to get anywhere.
Don't believe all the hype the news feeds you, rocky is well used to this habit.
