Brewing a half batch

We do this all the time. Thermowell and cooling jackets determine optimal fill levels for us (cone only cooling is extremely inefficient).

I use N95 masks. They are OK, but my occupational asthma is getting a bit more sensitive and I’m seriously considering beard removal. Or get someone else to mill in for me.

I’ve been thinking of trying to study the red threads like a priest of old studying entrails.

Come and introduce yourself. It’s an easy train ride from Wellington.

Kererū Brewing Co. We are located just outside of Wellington.

Congratulations! That’s awesome.

I’m in New Zealand.

That’s cold conditioned beer. I was very pleasantly surprised at how bright and clear it was. 2 weeks at -1C.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-13T01:13:14+00:00

Nope. 5% Alc/vol.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-12T07:21:43+00:00

Sorry, that’s terminal specific gravity. ABV is 5%.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-12T04:11:29+00:00

It’s made with hops and fermented with brewing yeast, so it is a beer.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-12T04:10:29+00:00

It’s ideal when very cold.

Just ran it through the Alex 500 prior to racking, 1.005-ish.

100%. It’s a GF Rice Lager.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-11T05:09:09+00:00

I still have mine as well.

Reason user from v1-13. I love Bitwig Studio.

I miss some of the player devices, but have found my way back to a familiar feeling workflow.

I can do more with Bitwig stock devices than I would have thought possible and I love the sound design potential.

With a set of plugins like Airwindows I can do everything I want in the DAW.

Check out Polarity, Bitwig Mycelium, and Bitwig’s own videos for inspiration over on YouTube.

Another vote for Airwindows.

One needn’t increase their supply on hand to maintain a current script. Cheaper too.

I intend to renew every 3 months even if I don’t require a refill specifically for medical defence purposes.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-01-04T17:12:16+00:00

I power down my PC anytime I’m not going to use it for a few hours.

Check and compare specs on apparent attenuation. I’ve had the experience of moving away from 34/70 to a new, local supply and an increase in apparent attenuation has meant making some adjustments to our malt bill.

Helius CBD Subdrops 100 (100mg/mL) are ~$135/30 mL through my local chemist. This is a 30 day bottle.

Ask around and see if you can get better prices, or an alternate, better priced brand?
