Yea after a number of spoiled batches I clean everything manually then soak in horrible caustic soda then rinse, boil what can be boiled, then star san, and even then I won't repitch yeast more than one generation as whatever this thing is can hang around and multiply from seemingly nothing...

I think it's pretty impossible to identify exactly what it was. I've had/have some wild house infections that have chased me around. One I foolishly nurtured because it was an interesting flavor in dark beer, almost acetic but not quite, very bizarre, comes on quick and anaerobic but worse with...

Has anyone much experience with lallemand Nova lager yeast? I brewed an uncharacteristic bad beer for no discernable reason recently and one of the kegs fermented with this yeast had a particular almost smokey flavor, very dry, with high bitterness. The other kegs weren't very good in my...

Call it an India gose

Made a typo there, won't be 15 above Yea local hops are a great price. I would actually like to get more of them I've just found low take-up in the past and was left with seven kilo of ekg and fuggles, whereas the American stuff flew out.. sad! I'm sure I can change the order if anyone else...

Ok No responses so I just went ahead and ordered Riwaka Citra Ekuanot Pilgrim Riwaka is expensive but it's hard to find anywhere for homebrewers. I think It is 47a kilo so it'll be probably 55 posted Citra and ekuanot I think it's about 30 so 35 maybe 40 posted. Pilgrim will be 15 or 20...

Hi many of you have done this in the past with me. Long and the short of it is I'm planning to buy as few 5kg sacks of hops and split them up into 250g vac sealed bags (this is nominal 250 actually 225but there's often a bit of shrinkage and it helps keep postage under whole postage rates. Now...

I always shyed away from brown not really liking coffee tasting beers, then suddenly I realised it's a fantastic ingredient. Now I wouldn't make a porter without it

I've got a bunch of fuggles and a bit of ctz

They should have been there ages ago. I'll check my receipt that I actually sent them. I did find an unsent package with no address in my truck but I figured I'd double wrapped one

At this time of the calendar we can all appreciate that I have sacrificed more perhaps than anyone in all time

I'll bear it in mind, however I have seen that the bulk suppliers are now doing one kg bags at a good price, which is a lot less hassle, but maybe split a few of the less heavily used types for sure. It's pretty mind numbing sealing up a hundred bags of hops!

I'll have the receipt somewhere I'll dig it out if it doesn't arrive today

Yeah, haven't they showed up yet? Sent them on Saturday.. guess things are just slow.

Think so then yes will post today hopefully.

I can do eldorado and hallertau blanc plus the ctz. Pm your address and I'll double check I have enough eldo. Think it will be 35 or thereabouts for the kg maybe a little less I can't remember

I think so what was your reference

I definitely have some fuggles and ctz. Might have some others I can spare

I've got you address from a year or so ago. Same one? I'll Chuck in 225g free of either.

Aye, awesome.. I've got my weight in malt sitting at the front door to get through so why not.. I've probably got a bunch of old yeast vials kicking about. I could send you some if you want with some fuggles or ctz hops, going to the postie anyway.
