    Chlorine / Chloramine

    Chlorine / Chloramine

    If you get chance get a tour of a modern large scale 'Brewery' They are giant chemical plants, their water treatment plants would put most water authorities to shame! The 'yeast room' is more secure than most biohazard plants. Nothing is left to chance from front gate to back fence, 100%...

    Novac no visa.

    He is in detention in a 'hotel' operated by the Australian border farce force, apparently they are not very nice. I dont like the man but they could have detained him in a decent hotel suit. I dont think he would have filled in his own documentation etc?!

    Novac no visa.

    I agree with most of the above sentiment re Novax Djokovic but he has found himself caught between Australian population sentiment and our ultra rightwing ultra religious (hillsong ffs*) trying to be a Popularist Prime Minister who is turning into a CC of his Hero Donald Trump, says one thing in...

    Prince Andrew accuser seeks evidence he could not sweat

    One of the many things wrong with the US justice system. 'Blood Money' is having a significant rise around the world. (I hate NDAs, how people hide corruption and other wrong doings ffs!)

    Re-Hydrating Yeast

    Airlock required?

    Lots just use cling wrap, you dont want a fruit fly in your beer + I like the bubble bubble its sounds like beer. Certainly not an indication fermentation is finished though...

    Coopers Australian Pale Ale

    G'Day Bill, I made lots of this beer back in the 'kit days' it's a great beer, cleaning and sanitation is critical it has nowhere for any odd flavours to hide. You could try a different yeast the supplied yeast can be a bit average and dont let it get too warm... Cheers
