What are you brewing?

Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

[JoKing]

They are special brass barrel spring loaded ball lock silicone sealed quick disconects engineered by McGreggor Engineering Co. Ltd. The only problem is they get a bit hot with the wort running through them.

(That's "bull shit" speak for garden hose fitting)

[denimglen]

With a thread adapter from the ball valve or do they go straight in?

Looking to change mine in the near future.

Very nice looking rig by the way bro.

[James P]

What sort of hose you using on there Jo, it's not your run of the mill bunnings crap?

[Soren]

That is some serious bling Jo! Can't wait for it to get down, hopefulpy it'll be on my doorstep when I get back from beervana?:)

And don't start the southern hemisphere reverse rotation toilet flush please. Took me 2 years to convince the in-law family that it's all bullshit. and they are all engineers... sigh...:)

Your a lucky son of a bitch Soren!!

Yup, doesn't matter which way the whirlpool spins. That force only effects massive shit like hurricanes/cyclones.

Bro that is some mean looking kit mate!! Very fancy!

Well - I just hit an all time record with this brew... 96% efficiency! Just as well it is a bitter beer... otherwise it may have come out a bit sweet. 6.9% abv now - so you case swappers are in for a tru "Warrior" of a beer! 1.065 and around 70 IBU. Wicked!

96% efficiency!

That's great, you'll be using up less of Liberty's stock, not brewing away so much of the profits ?

[Mike Neilson]

What is the extract from the Golden Promise? Might be cheap buying if it yeilds that much extract!!

[jt]

Got a brew for tomorrow all weighed out, late hopped pale, light version.
I would have done this earlier but I've been side tracked by lagers ...
83% malturop
5% munich I
8% pale Crystal
4% caramalt
1.036 US 05 and 30 IBU, mostly from 20 minutes on. Combo of Mot, Hallertau and Cascade
I did the 1.045 version and loved it, thought I'd better brew a proper quaffing version

"I did the 1.045 version and loved it" Was that 696 jt?
