You can always trust german engineering and lagers!

Bottle it and let us know how it tasted!

Wow thanks awesome!

A bit of both. When ever we harvest his fruit trees he always asks for some of the fruits and some of either the beer or wine thats made with them.

Probably a very dangerous thing to say, but after I started brewing I've found I'd rather drink a california common than an ordinary lager. Anyone else had that kind of taste shift or an idea why it could be the case? I'm thinking it's the slight fruity taste

I know that feeling. One of my friends in town has 12 types of fruit trees in his yard and he doesn't ever pick any of them. We harvest them for him.

Even without cold break you can make a great beer. Tastes a little different, but not bad.

Grapes, mint, basil, lemons, coffee, pumpkins, promogartes and figs. I want to try hops, but haven't found a good source for rhizomes in South Africa and its been very dry this year. So it kinda pushing it to keep everything else alive... If I could get them I would probably try growung...

After two years I'm still using my corona mill and couldn't be happier. Best part it also grinds my coffee. I use a biab bag in mash tun, so it's not an issue if grain is very fine.

My brewhouse efficiency is usually between 75 and 79% with batch sparging in mash tun with biab filter rather than manifold

Ice brick ice bath. I cool the water to just above freezing before putting kettle into,the water and then change the bricks often

Has anyone else started gardening to have more interesting things to add to your homebrew?

Black Spruce yes, the pine I got from a logger. Not sure which type he got it from... I think it's worth brewing pine and spruce beer. Will try juniper when I get berries.

I did. I liked it alot! Not quite a perfect clone, but a very nice beer. Was planning the light scottish, but screwed up calculations and afyer mash realised it would either be 80 or nothing. Worked out great!

Hi, Does anyone have a clone recipe for dupont posca rustica? Thanks

Thank you!

Hi, Does anyone have an idea how to clone this beer with all-grain? I'm thinking a basic light scottish ale, with spruce tips added @15min and minimum hops? Or would doing it as a gruit be closer to the origional?

Hi, Out of curiosity I'm wondering how many people in the Forum are from South Africa?

Just found this thread, I am a Dutch Reformed pastor. I find brewing helps me with my prep for sundays.

Thanks for the review, I have been thinking of getting a set for a while now. Do you think the issue is that the original material is hazardous that after the plastic lining disintergates it's dangerous or is it a rust issue?
