Hi Dara,

That is interesting and you pushed it to quite a high temperature, it could help many home brewing.

Thanks

Hey Rob,
Have a look at Kveik yeast. Tolerates a huge range of temps. Although I usually use temperature control I decided to see how far it could be pushed and had clean beer fermenting well over 30°C

Hi Stephen,

Wow 40 years of brewing is fantastic, and the fermenting bin has been with you all the way along, impressive. Growing your own hops is pretty impressive too.

I am ready to start brewing, however due to something booked in my calendar I have to hold off until mid September. Which may be better for temperature reasons, the ambient temperature should be cooler. I will like you get a heat belt.

Thanks for your tip with the muslin bag, are you really going to brew green beer?

Thanks for your input

Cheers
Rob

I have been brewing beer for 40 years. my equipment is minimal, a fermenting bin from boots 40 years ago, 7 three gallon kegs, hydrometer and a heat belt.
I use a mixture of grain and malt extract. I also grow some of the hops I use.
I tend not to brew in the middle of summer because of the heat. I use the heat belt for the other 9 months. A tip if useing malt grains, put them in a muslin bag.
My next brew will be when hops are ready, green beer!!
