I do not want to imagin, what it would do to me, if it happens again, and I am within range. That is why I rather give yeasts more time to work.

Just quietly - best you know as soon as possible - the Haka is a kiwi (new zealand) thing.... so you might erase that please from your memory ha ha! And quickly too - it is "Rugby League" - as Rugby is usually the term utilised for "Rugby Union" very different game ha ha.... ah life can be complicated hey?! But both Rugby Codes do allow and encourage onlookers to engage in drinking beer and eating like animals whilst viewing and thereafter.... too much is barely enough haha Aaaaargh Airlie Beach Mirek - you certainly picked one of the best spots in Australia mate ; ) And understood regards your patient wait on keg finalisation re exploding bottles - you could utilise a hydrometer to monitor changes in SG... just a thought Edited November 5, 2020 by Bearded Burbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Ref ending the game even before the 80 minutes were up (the clock stopped at 79:59) and when the blues are less 10m away from the try line with 4 more tackles to go doesn't look particularly good. It reminded me of a Bayern Munich game many moons ago, when Bayern took the lead in the 84th minute and shortly after, the ref ended the game. When asked why he did so with 6 minutes to go, he claimed that according to his watch, time was up. Yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m sure the blues will bounce back in Sydney and give us a tougher game. What I don’t get is the season is over, why not play it on a Saturday afternoon so most people can have mates around, have a bbq, watch the game and have a few hundred home brews ?

Geeze Louise AK you are clutching at straws here now mate.... I would like to suggest that 1 blardy second is probably a bit different to 6 minutes....but then again... soccer... it takes 90 minutes to get around to scoring 1 goal so I guess you can't rush things then can you!?! Mate the sau-Preusss Welshmen were the screaming huge favourites... they were up 10 nil at half time.... a star-studded cast.... all the big legends... and fortunately a bit of heart and a bit of Benny magic at half time got our good boys through.... I really thought that Q was going down.... it was an amazing thing that they managed to overcome the sau-Preuss with was it 9 new players?! and sneak home ha ha!

Time to ditch SWMBO and join me and @Red devil 44 Red on the good side AK!!! It's not too late!!! Nah mate, not clutching at anything. It's just unusual that a game gets whistled off during play. At least they let them finish playing the ball. All they had to do was pass the ball to the right, where there was one lonely Queenslander and three or four cockroaches heading toward him. I'm not saying they would have scored or even won, it's just unusual. When was the last time you saw a game ended mid ball play? Queensland insisted before the game that they are not the underdog. Bennett made sure of it. And one thing you have to say about Queenslanders, they NEVER give up. They can be 20 points down a minute before the siren and still fight as if their life depended on it. You don't see this in NSW for some reason. But to be honest, I have lost interest in Origin quite a while ago. I remember back in the day, we went to Frankfurt on origin night to watch the game at the Down Under Bar in Sachsenhausen. It was just awesome. I wouldn't miss a game, even if it was yet another slaughter by Qld. But it just isn't the same anymore and I actually didn't watch the first half yesterday. Well, I didn't need to because I got a running commentary bu SWMBO You sound like Obi Wan and Yoda, trying to convert me to the other side. But I can see right through you guys, you are really the emperor and Darth Vader and try to lure me to the dark side Sorry but I am loyal to a team and don't switch sides milly nilly. Mate, I am an 1860 Munich supporter, who by now play in the 3rd grade league. I don't care if Bayern Munich wins another 200 championships, I'll always be an 1860 supporter.

Mostly, to adjust fermentation temperature on ongoing basis. Funny, as non of my beers never finnished fermentation in 14 days. The one, I mentioned above is in fermenter since 21.10. and is still bubbling every 1 minute. Maybe this is, I always start in relatively lowest possible temperatures.

Pale Man Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 First All Grain down today. Gladfield Ale and Wheat. Hopped with Hort. Big day but very enjoyable. The hardest thing was clean up. Labour of love. I got 1050, 21 litres of wort. Really could improve on that. I tried whirlpooling. 50/50 success. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I love SOO but, probably because it was after season end, I was not emotionally invested in it. I didn't scream at the TV once. QLD were the better team in both halves and should have won by a lot more than 4. Anyway, getting back on topic, I have a NSW made beer in my fermenter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 As you can see I have my sensor probe well taped to the FV! This is my second kveik (M12) brew, fermented 1.041 down to 1.004 in under two days. One problem I have with this yeast is that it seems to create a massive cake, one which covers the tap on this particular FV! I have it slightly tilted back but it's not nearly enough. I went to draw off a sample today to confirm FG... and nothing... then after a wee while just a single drop of beer. Looks like the tap is completely blocked. Last brew I had to transfer to the priming bucket using an auto-siphon. Clearly I'll have to do the same again with this batch! Oh, and the temperature strip on the side of the FV is actually faulty - the brew isn't really sitting at 36, 38 and40ºC simultaneously! Anyway, as I'm unable to easily double-check FG I'm gonna just take a punt and cold-crash. At 1.004 I think it's safe to say it's done! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veloria is a wonderful wonderful malt... but this schooner malt just does not deliver the amount of fermentables like e.g. Weyermann Pilsener malt... Yeah it's good stuff - the last batch turned to be one of my favourites (I also fiddled with the hop schedule so could be partly that). Voyager is now sold at my local homebrew shop so I might get a 25kg sack. Freight was making that a problem previously had to come from Canberra and 25kg sacks were going to require a pallet. Cost doesn't really worry me I just wanted to get it a little more consistent so I just add it to begin with. I think you might be onto something - I looked back through brewfather this all started when I switched from Simpsons Maris Otter to Gladfield. I was getting at or within 5 points with Simpsons which doesn't really worry me. It seemed to be getting worse and I started to use LDME to adjust which I don't like because I find leads to a higher FG (I thinks its not as fermentable). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicos mate - I just got me a bag of SMO - so now we shall see - I'll do a Voyager brew and then an SMO brew and see how the OG and FG turn out... keep everything else the same... as much as possible And see whether what my Drug Lord claims is correct.... given my Weyermann Pils Malt vs Voyager experience I suspect he will be right... Fact is that is not necessarily a bad thing - just different - as I said - aussie malts are great and make great beer! I would like to get some Coopers Malt too but seems like it is harder to get on the East Coast and am not keen to pay freight from Adelaide....
