Nick Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi Squish, what Phil says is spot on. I dont want to repeat what has already been said, but i find the beer fridge actually increases space. I have a fairly large old fridge with a completely separate freezer section, tucked away in the corner of the laundry. The fridge section houses my FV at 20 deg and the shelf above and the space around the FV has enough space to store and condition the previous batch of bottled beer. The freezer section doesnt freeze because of the temp setting, but does hold at a fairly constant 4 deg and is perfect as storage for my cold ones. It is my one stop brewing station. PS, if i wanted to reduce the brewing temp in the fridge, the freezer section would most likely get too cold and freeze my cold ones, but 20 deg is perfect for my pale ales and amber ales. I also brew stout, but temp doesnt seem to affect it much, so i just brew that in my 2nd FV at ambient[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 If we all perhaps added our favorite Cooper's kit recipe/practice or something' date=' could we get this back on Brewing Blether?[/quote'] Yep! Perhaps your favourite kit...[biggrin] My favorite kit is the English Bitter for sure. I've given that kit some aweful abuse and it has made excellent beers every time. It amazes me me. Otherwise the wheatbeer kit with different yeasts, because I love hefeweizen/witbeer but it's generally pretty expensive to buy. Bloody oath, Eoin. there is the personal details sticky in BB, whats that got to do with brewing? Maybe this should replace it, at least its being used the way it was intended. What better way for new members to get to know a bit about this community and then tell us a little about themselves? As you said, this will now end up somewhere in siberia and never be heard of again. I dunno what you're complaining to me for. [annoyed] I'm trying to get it back on brewing blether. Maybe this should replace the Personal Details Sticky. Relax, have a beer. Maybe I should have borrowed one of the Good Lord's weapons' date=' the old fashioned method of rod and reel didn't work!!![/quote'] Fishing with a shotgun doesn't work very well. Don't try.[rightful] I don't fish or shoot' date=' I love to cook[/quote'] But they go so well together.[love] I just go nuts in winter and leave the summer for drinking i like your style [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Every time you say the Trooper I think of Eddie wearing the old English military uniform carrying the Union Jack flag. [lol] And if you have no idea what I'm on about: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Haha Otto Man! I had about 2-3 Iron Maiden posters on my bedroom wall(s) growing up. I admit I wasn't heavily into their music, but thought their posters were wicked! The "Aces High" one I remember clearly. [cool] Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hey Kelse and Scott, did you catch IM at the RNA, soundwave 2011? Hey Nick, absolutely! I would have loved to have seen them in 08 when they did that Somewhere Back in Time tour, but I wasn't really into them then. [pinched] Since I have been though, they have become my favourite band so to see them at SW11 was unreal, probably the best show I've been to so far. Unfortunately the beer choices were rubbish.

Nick Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Unfortunately the beer choices were rubbish. [lol] Yeah, i know what you mean, but i was driving back to the sunny coast with my son after so drinking beer was never much of an option, besides, you would have to take out a 2nd mortgage to get maggot at those prices[pinched] Gotta admit though, it was an unreal night[biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 From memory, "Eddie" is the character depicted in most, if not all of the Iron Maiden pictures/covers etc? So perhaps something like... or... Gotta love these Collingwood supporters though. To them there is only one Eddie! [lol] [tongue] Good on ya Adam! [biggrin] Anthony.
