Ha ha Chesl, yep Tennents Super (Scottish tramp juice), apparently used to have "lager lovelies" printed on the can too (late 1980's). BTW - Lager lovelies = female models! I don't think you get away with that now either :dunno: Tennents is another of many that has gone by the way of AB-InBev as we...

Interesting information Mally. I'm from the UK originally so I'm well aware of Carlsberg Special Brew, an infamous beer. I was unaware of the facts you mention. As you say, it's your classic on-the-street drunks beer of choice, strong and cheap. I remember there was also another brew called Tennants...

I'm back from my Vegas trip and I was pretty much on my own there so I made it my mission to try and sample as many beers as I could and I really tried to take them all in and I made notes on all of them. I've only been brewing properly for 6 months so this was the first time I've been over to the U...

I've got a week internal company training in Vegas so going to see if in can enjoy a few of your beers whilst I'm over there and hoping to avoid the awful fizzy bud, coors etc!

My yeast in question is the US-05 one. I'm just doing a standard 'Ale' with the washed yeast.

I've seen a few posts (on the wider web) about only re-pitching yeast if you are going from a lower to higher (?) gravity beer - would you guys agree with this or doesn't matter too much?

Just make sure you have a LOT of Head space in the fermenter. Thanks joshua - I don't know why I don't just ping you directly as you answer all my questions anyway :salute: I suppose were I was coming from was that 200ml might not be enough but from what you are saying I could even split that into ...

craft beer in Las Vegas

Hi I've off over to chilly Las Vegas in 2 weeks for a week with work. I was there in October and I'm a bit bored of the strip and would love to go to a good bar to try some quality American craft beer. Any of you guys here recommend a bar or two? Ideally it would serve food as well so I can then exp...

daddyo - I've recently just got one (pretty much the same as the link you showed, I got mine from eBay for only $18 AUD) - I've calibrated it and compared readings against my hydro and my refractometer matches within + or - 1 gravity point so I'm happy with that. I used it for the first time last we...

Too much very fine grain 'flour' in my grain order

I recently ordered two separate grain bills from a new grain supplier I'm trying out. I asked for the grain to be milled and for it to be a bit finer as it's for BIAB. I did a brew yesterday with one of the grain bills and I noticed that there was a lot of very fine almost like powder/flour in with ...

If you are really tight on money, find out what parcel sizes your supplier uses. I'm guessing that you are using Gain and Grape. Ring them and see if they are using 3kg or 5kg Aust Post bags etc and plan your order accordingly. Make sense? Thanks Lemon and PP, Grain and grape per Kg grain pricing a...
