GLORIOUS Glad you enjoyed them Ben. I think the Mj 29 is going to be a staple yeast for me. Sensational yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really invites off flavours & other problems into the equation for re-using the yeast. Piling up dead yeast on top of itself & other unfermentables such as hop debris & unfermented starches etc. is not advisable. Leaving beer in contact with dead yeast cells can develop off flavours such as "Mercaptan" (like rotting vegetables etc.) & is most unpleasant in beer. 18 Common “Off” Flavors In Beer (And How They Are Caused) This current batch of CCA yeast I have will be a good test for me to monitor as I re-use. I know the smell of this strain very well, & am hoping I'll pick up any off traits at the starter stage if it starts to mutate before I ruin a batch by pitching it into a full brew. Time will tell on that one. Your LHBS guy seems to know what he's talking about. I use a pinch of nutrient in my starters as well. The Otto man has an excellent process he has detailed here on the forum for re-using yeast via a starter method, & I would certainly have a read through that given the direction you wish to take. Reusing yeast - the starter method Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Noted thanks Lusty. Ive printed off that recipe and will give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware this brew is not modelled on anything commercially available (that I am aware of). It has some quite unique flavours & aromas that will not always float everyone's boat. I really like it, but the next bloke may not. If you do get around to brewing it, I hope you do. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The outlaws asked me to a chrissy brew for them. I’m off to Ireland for the holidays but I said I’d grant them their wish. Threw down a hoppy pale ale. Coopers APA , 1.5 kilos DME , boiled and dry hopped with citra and Amarillo, 100 gms i went all out and bought a case of stubby’s, a capper and even printed off some labels for them. I was astounded when I read about the milk trick for the labels. It actually works a lot of effort but feck it, it’s christmas fruits of my labour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I don't have anything on tap currently but I did keg my moteuka pale ale yesterday and we both had a taste from the fermenter. I think it's gonna be a nice beer once it's suitably carbonated. It's not a hop bomb but it is a nice easy drinking pale which should be a good beer for everyone who wants to try it. Didn't use any finings in it as I was too busy to bother, although I could add some polyclar to the keg I suppose. Already got the keg fridge on and basically in its new permanent spot (which in time I'll be adding a bar to and a smallish TV to turn it into a bit of a man cave), so I'll bring the kegs around today or early next week and put that one in there on serving pressure so it will be ready for new year's.

Smashed Crabs Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Five Dock - AKASHA IPA. Brewed down the road from me actually taste similar to one of my brews I did recently except a lot nicer to drink and at 7.2% shes a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmaril Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Drinking my IPA, which came from the Brew A IPA can I asked about a while back that was out of date. Used S05 yeast in it. Guessing it's a tad darker than it's meant to be. Very nice to drink! Having had a few, I couldn't work out why they varied so much, couldn't have been that many from the absolute bottom of the fermenter. I think I've worked it out that this one tastes better when the bottle has been agitated somewhat, like the Coopers Sparkling commercial bottles. I didn't have the 1.5kg of light dry malt at the time, so I went with 1kg of LDM, and 1kg of Coopers BE3. Gravity went from 1.050 to 1.009 over 13 days in the FV.

Hey mate. Did 30 gms mixed at 20 mins, 30 gms mixed at ten and 30’at flameout. Then dryhopped the remaining 110 gms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I don’t like about the IPA extract is the colour. PB2 says if the tin is fresh it won’t go that dark but every tin I’ve used has come out that colour despite having a long shelf life left. I’m gonna use the APA as my base from now on as it gives that great golden colour and also you can be more experimental with your hops as it’s not as pre hopped as the IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an interesting memory of a mutual friend who won a HB Comp in Weipa with his brew "Black Death" which was just Coopers Lager badly oxidised he had purchased cheap on a sell-off... However, he had the best home made Beef Jerky at the time of judging of the social event due to outstanding quality Jerky and was the crowd favourite... my belief is that the Concentrates are shipped all good... maybe we need to provide some feedback to the supply chain to make sure that our Kits are not allowed to get hot and oxidise in the back of trucks or warehouses... cos really they should be coming out unharmed after moisture reduction and concentration back in Adelaide!

Fergy1987 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Just cracked open a Lightning Strike Summer Ale. Not a bad little beer for these hot arvos. Sure beats any of those other Summer Beers out there.....Or a Canadian Dry Thought it would be a lighter colour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Sampled a glass of my mead. Has dropped crystal clear now, looks like a young riesling. Tastes really nice actually, but could use some more time I think. Really interesting what fermentation did to the flavour of the honey though. Will see what a couple of days in the fridge does to the other half of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just less sweetness now most of the sugar is gone, but different flavours showing up too. The amount of aroma surprised me. I thought the fermentation process would strip a fair bit out (especially since it was fermenting for a couple of months) but it is really nice.
