Besides, what we put aside for the repayments won't really be any more per week than the rent plus saving we're doing now, so it's definitely the way we want to go. Things are looking good at the moment on all fronts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Even if it doesn't work out between you, you'll both have money behind you from the sale of the property to start again. As is often said, rent money is dead money. Good luck with it all mate. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Dale Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The sooner you buy, the sooner you can pay it off. That's a good feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks guys. Lusty I've always hated the idea of renting long term, hell it's only been a bit over a year and I'm sick of it haha. Scoped out a brewing area should we get the place , but overall we both really like it and it's well within our budget so even better. The seller came back with a counter offer today, which I daresay we'll take, just have to discuss it with swmbo first. If we do then by the sounds of things we pretty much have it pending finance and building/pest inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silmaril Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I offered a counter offer to the counter offer when I bought my place, and knocked another 2.5k off. Makes a difference in the long term. However understand the feeling if you just want to get it done! I think I literally did cartwheels when I got mine. And I'm not the cartwheel kind of physique.

The Captain!! Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 We were in a really good position work wise and paid the house off before we had our son. So being mortgage free, what did we do......... bought a few acres to build again in a few years time. Still buying a house was one of the best decisions we’ve made.

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks mate. We thought about making a counter offer to the counter offer but decided it probably wouldn't have made much difference in our situation. It only went up 5k from our original offer anyway.

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Cheers fellas! Yep already know where I'll brew, semi outdoors in the carport/garage which has a few power points. The keg fridge (bar later down the track) could either go in the "rumpus" area or the patio next to the carport. I liked having it out on the deck at the olds so I could do the outdoor setup again. Well protected from sun there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Good stuff mate. I hope you both have many happy years there. Now the packing of boxes & lugging of furniture begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks Lusty. Yes, although with there being a little time between the settlement date and this lease running out at least we don't have to bust our arses with the moving.

All fruits have different complexities & throw different weights of flavour when used in beer. That said, don't be afraid to throw some decent weight of fruit at your beers. I used approx. 1.25kgs of blueberries in my Porter. Some fruits will "leach" flavours while others pretty much need to have the liquid flavours held within the skins squeezed & extracted out of them. I don't have all the knowledge in the world on how to effectively "macerate" all fruits successfully, but there are best practices for various types of fruit to infuse their flavours & it is certainly not a "one size fits all" type situation for all. For hard skinned berries in particular I liked the idea of making a fruit compote wort combining the berries & some sugar/dextrose. It certainly worked well in my Porter. Just my 2 cents, & good luck with the brew. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Nope - not you. Wifey came up with the hazelnut porter and I came up with the cherry stout - she was interested in me making this one, likes the dark beers she does. I will be soaking the prunes, as they are dehydrated plums I think there will be plenty. I made a compote with the cherries and that worked really well - that was based on reading your stuff.
