Did you get time to visit the Love Bar, round the corner and up the hill? Nice cocktail bar overlooking the port. I had to take SWMBO there as she’s partial to a cocktail or three and it would be ungentlemanly to refuse 😂

Sorry can't remember. Could be to do with boiling off/evaporation of volatile oils? Just remember seeing it on this forum somewhere.

Apologies for not answering your question, but why do you want to carbonate your beer when you arrive at your destination rather than carbonate it here before you fly?

I’ve read that some home brewers drop the temperature to around 15C at the end of fermentation to dry hop for 2-3 days then cold crash. I don’t but might try it one day. I use pellets to dry hop 3 days before cold crash. Drop them in loose with my dry hopper so I don’t have to open the...

Sounds like a cunning plan to me 😂

Question if I may. Are the hopstand hops loose or contained and what temperature? Are you dry hopping before fermentation to avoid the perils of oxidation from adding hops towards the end of fermentation? We'll have to wait and see but do you think dry hopping a large quantity of hops for a long...

Depends how you define "outdoors". I have 3 outdoor fridges. One fridge freezer in my garage. It's been there for +5 years with no issues. It's not exposed to rain but the garage has no heating and is well draughty. The other two are in my shed that has double skinned insulated walls. If you...

Continuing the Oz theme. A bottle of Furphy "refreshing ale". It does what it says on the bottle 😂

Lunch in the garden and an IPA I brought back from Oz...

Enjoying a glass of my APA in the sunshine .....while it lasts. The sunshine not the beer

Sounds deeelish 👍🏻

Before I cleaned my boiler I tipped the trub into a bucket and put it in my empty brew fridge set at 3C. Had a look this morning.... Still a fair depth of trub so I poured off the clear wort... Just short of 2 litres that accounts for the loss in the F bucket. I might consider returning to...

The GH’s recipe I use has 150gm of citra and 100gm galaxy as the dry hop ashock1

I might go back to hop bags in the boil in my quest against trub! 😂

Interesting recipe. I'm not brave enough or experienced enough to construct my own recipe and rely on Greg Hughes' recipe. Main difference (apart from hop selection) seems to be you have a hop addition during the boiler whereas GH's recipe has no hops until flame out. And a significant quantity...

I wonder @The Baron do you bag your hops during the boil and remove before transfer? I add my hop pellets directly to the boil that will add significantly to the amount of trub.

I’ve become trub averse of late so for my latest brew I used a siphon to transfer the cooled wort (after leaving it for a couple of hours to settle) to the fermentation bucket. Resulted in totally trub free wort in the FB but a loss of 2-3 litres of wort. The trub/wort mix at the bottom of the...

It seems like a long time since I last had a brew day! After my annual pilgrimage to Australia to visit my daughter and grandkids I'm now back and battling jetlag. What better thing to do? Brewery set up and cleaned yesterday so started straight away this morning. Nothing like the sound of...

But what does it taste like @Hazelwood Brewery ? And what happened to the NEIPA that was on your schedule? I was hoping to pick up some tips.
