Just watch your back when putting them in :shock:

 

[BrewStew]

did you say you're bottling ALL of it?

wanna borrow my bottle filler if it arrives in time? :lol:

perhaps we can organise it so i come up with the bottle filler, and vossy joins us for a beer and brings his goods, exchange beers, boiler, malt and talk ***** all afternoon for the bottling sesh

 

[Wez]

I'm only bottling the FV with the SWB in it, my little bottler can handle that but thanks anyway :thumb:

I'll get in touch over the arrangements for the boiler soon :)

 

[Wez]

These are down to 1.015 now......but...

one of the FV's is infected :evil: my first ever batch infection, it's a really awful tangy medicinal smell and taste, the other 2 FV's are fine so it's something in that FV (which is now going to be used to store grain).

Good job I still have the other 2 FV's to keg

 

[BrewStew]

whip it out sharpish so it dont spread!

sorry to hear mate it's a fecker when that happens and that happened to me on my first ever AG brew :cry:

 

[Vossy1]

one of the FV's is infected

Not good mate :cry:

 

[Wez]

It'll be sent to FV heaven, it served me well - I have a sack of wild bird food that I need to keep mice out of - I think that will be it's calling - the other 2x FV's are smelling and tasting grrreat :thumb:

 

[Frisp]

Wez. Tell me it was the weaker FV which went south.
darn shame that you lost one, :cry:

 

[Wez]

Nah it was one of the 1.044 ones

 

[Frisp]

The word im looking for ends in... ollox

 

[A T]

is it 2 words? ball oxx :lol:

 

[Wez]

And here it is in the glass

Cleared nicely, ended up with a nicely balanced beer.

 

[NickW]

That looks like a very freshing pint!

I know I may be off topic, and off-swinging the conversation - but by FV, do you mean fermantation vessel?

If so, why do you have to throw the whole bucket away just because one brew gets infected?

Also, what does SWB stand for ?

Excuse the newbie!

Cheers,

Nick :

Yep

If so, why do you have to throw the whole bucket away just because one brew gets infected?

You don't have too, but they are cheap, and you cannot be sure that you have really got rid of the infection from a plastic vessel . . . especially If you have a tap in it . . . Likw Wez, I just relegate them to grain / gear storage

Also, what does SWB stand for ?

I think that's SWMBO - it is from the H Rider Haggard book "She" and stands for She Who Must Be Obeyed . . . referring to a queen in an African kingdom who was always referred to as "She"

 

[Wez]

The suspect FV is being relegated to storage duties only now

Looks awesome Wez - when do I get to try it? Or is it dependent on how well the bottle I sent you goes down?

 

[Wez]

I had to keg it all as I ran out of time on a brewday so none bottled at all

Can I interest you in a bottle of SWB (Harvest Gold) which is drinking nicely at the moment?
