I recently put poison down but my dog somehow managed to find it and started eating a peice. Luckily I saw and stopped him before he could swallow any. Im going to get one of these : http://www.ratzapper.co.za/ Electrocutes them.

I also use a hop bag (paint strainer) and havn't had any clogging issues. I stopped using Irish Moss some time back as Ive found my beers clear completely with gelatine but I suspect Irish Moss may cause some cloggin issues. There have been threads on HBT of plate chillers becoming unusable...

Thanks. BTW - for anyone debating getting a plate chiller - this thing has changed my life !

I suggest get a water proof pH meter - the nature of brewing kills non-waterpoof versions.

I recently aquired a plate chiller from Dudadiesel. The four connectors are not labelled at all, am I correct to assume that flow can be in any direction and any pair can be used for either water or wort ?

Very similair to mine except I drop the chocolate and add 500g wheat malt. Colour should be about 26 SRM with a bitterness ratio of about 0.7 using one hop addition at 60 mins (no aroma hops). I like fuggles in mine. I tried one recently with fresh ginger added during the boil - it was excellent.

errmm....and I don't mean roll the tofu into a joint btw lol

Try smoking it. Then fry it.

I don't know. Im not sure whether the small amount of nitrogen is enough to freeze the beer but even if it does it gets heated from pasteurisation.

This is how a widget works : its actually filled with beer not nitrogen... Beer is poured into an open beer (can in this case). Widget (plastic, hollow ball with a 0.15mm hole drilled in it) is inserted into the can (empty at this point). Liquid nitrogen is poured into the can. Can is sealed...

Someone correct me if Im wrong but afaik all Guiness is brewed in Dublin and therefor should taste the same where ever its drank - depending on how old it is of course. I agree its not a great stout but beats BMC type lagers. BTW the behemoth that is SABMiller has been making noises recently...

I also just toss them in after milling them. Bear in mind though, there is a subtle difference between quick oats and instant oats depending on the marketing angle : Quick oats are milled finer so they cook quicker, instant oats are pre cooked.

I made a barley wine with Wyeast 9097 (Brett. blend). My normal procedure with big beers is to rack to 2ndary after a month - should I do the same with this beer considering the Brett. or should I leave it in primary for longer ? I havn't noticed a pellicle yet.

Cool, thanks.

SAB says unit is WK. 98 Litner as you mentioned. Do I need a decoction ?

Is that FAN you're refering to ? The analysis sheet I have only got abreviated terms so its a bit hard to read.

The last 3-MD-HC (220v) I bought I paid +-$150 from plumberssurplus.com, they're now between $250 and $350 from anywhere. Can anyone refer me to a shop thats cheaper ? If not I'll get the March - wheres a good place to buy ?

I assume its linter - Ive asked for clarity. The average is 327.

I received a malt analysis which lists diastatic power at between 350 and 244 - I assume this means its fully modified and a single infusion is all thats needed ? Is that correct or do I need a protien rest ? (to clarify the analysis detailed three batches which ranged between 350 and 244. The...
