I don't know how many times I've burnt my nose, and the smell seeps into my throat, leaving me just about gasping for air.. ginger beer was the worst for it actually, probably doesn't help that I'm a smoker too

So what exactly is a gusher infection? The beer hasn't turned watery as yet, so I don't know.. I havnt died so I presume its not toxic, at least in relatively small doses :mug:

I took the lid off the second time to remove the krausen collar for cleaning, notice there isn't around the rim anymore. The way the tub has been designed, makes cleaning a lot easier.

22 year old me would say get those bastard neighbours in trouble with the cops, before the reverse happens. Also most cops seem alright, just casually invite a few over one weekend for pool, darts and a few coldies. That'll work wonders! Make sure they aren't driving afterwards though, dunno how...

I could see sum think wrong their; the periods and commas actually. Made cents in how they were, placed

Yes, twist top bottles, makes it a lot easier I think.. I just put a measure of sugar into each bottle before filling them, used a different type of sugar than usual. Didn't think it would make a huge difference actually. Ok, thanks! That's my job for tomorrow, relieving pressure!

Hard to believe its the same brew

Ok, 7.3% and I don't know how old it is anymore.. these last few days have been a blur. With the bubbling still on top, is say it'll reach maybe 8.5 before stopping, my strongest to date(prrvios strongest reached a total of 7.2%). and I can get fairly well tipsy on a few 5% home brews, one for...

Thanks heaps, didn't try looking with the artificial sweeteners, I'll have a look next time I go down the street

I once thought I was possessed by a demon, I couldn't walk, barely stand and when I did stand and went to sit down, the chair had moved suddenly. Then I realised it was because of half a pint too much homebrew... Seriously though, I was once haunted. I lived three up and one to the right...

Ok, so I opened a bottle of my wheat beer, and the foam started spraying, so I replaced the lid and waited for the head to die down, then cracked it again with a light push of co2. I know I cleaned and sanitised the bottles correctly, they get filled with the sanitiser outta my tub. Should I go...

Just eating licorice bullets, I looked at the ingredients, basically pure sugar, molasses being the most prevalent one. Might try boiling some into a syrup, and using that instead of the closest I can get, which is treacle.

Still couldn't find any. I know its sugar in its least refined form, and clearly edible.. use to have horses as a kid and suck it out of the tap.. drip, drip, drip

Never hurts to take a hydro, from what I figure. Plus, take a taste. As long as everything is sanitised, there should be no problems. I try to taste each brew as I make it, initial, after 5 days then during bottling. I think the flavour changes give a uh something preview, before they all blend...

Better send it to me for quarantine first. Don't want any good beer going around.

How does molasses turn out with it? I really want to try it, although am yet to find a distributor that I can get it off locally, without going to a pet food shop and getting what might be pre contaminated, due to the fact its for horses.. if this is even possible

Professional beer drinker! I wish.. console operator at a service station, with occasional industrial shut down work at a power plant.

Australia, it gets insane here at times.. even using cold refrigerated water the temp still skyrocketed in about 6 hours. But it tastes nice enough, perhaps a little scratchy although I think that will smooth itself out

Well its three days old and at 6%, still bubbling but the foam has greatly subsided, smells really sweet. Also is really syrupy, that's good because I was looking forward to it this winter!

So you times it by 130? I drop the decimal, then times it by 7.46.. sure it equals out the same way :) all goes down the same way anyway.
