i thought sour mash was using old mash with live yeast to catalyse the new batch? altough, to be honest, ive heard the term 'fermenting on grain' a fair bit but dont know what it means, if you could educate a brother,,,
interesting move starting on a bourbon mash than something like a scotch 100% malted barley mash, seems a bit more difficult to increase the variables,
good luck, ill be interested to see how it works out.
i guess it also depends on the whisky youre trying to make, bourbons should be decent after 2 years (4 is the legal and normal minimum in the U.S from what i remember) but the aus distillers selling 3-5 year old single and blended malts are wayyy off the mark, half the shit is 5 years away from being a balanced whisky.

mash bill plz.
ive always been interested in how distilleries get the capital from investors despite a return rate of around 4-6 years before seeing a fraction of the initial investment.

2 fucking months. probably old news but the sentencing is ridiculous, if he wasnt a cop dude would have gone for 13.

I'll let most of what you just said slide, because you haven't been here for a long time.
A couple of points though, because it's 520am and I'm bored, the part about Colonial knowing what they're doing... apart from owning the Royal, their distribution is essentially zero and the beer has gone downhill ever since the sell out.
The IBS is NOT indicative of what beer costs, they are the most inflated prices known to man, I haven't been back in nearly two years since my eyes opened to how hard they were ripping me off - often for stale beer. I know exactly what the Leg charges wholesale and they've never even done a 4pk, it would have been the IBS repacking into generic 4's and jacking up the price. If I was a bottle shop, I could make acceptable margin selling it at $70/ctn.
This is still the highest traffic tourist destination in the state, and the people that are here, are generally here to taste things and spend money. It's as much a personal lifestyle choice as a business decision. Sure, I'd sell a shit load more beer if I lived in Perth, but... then I'd be living in Perth - yo?
fair call,i retract what i said about IBS, even i know they're overpriced, still--i was more trying to point out transport costs more than anything, they happened to be an example. for a consumer base, i dont think tourists would be the ideal target as they're far less likely to be repeat customers of a local micro, city is where its at although as you said, its also a personal decision. i wouldnt like the thought of people enjoying my beers once and then forgetting about it. with only having a surface knowledge of LC, i think they have a pretty ideal model.
and im not defending the quality of colonial, they suck dick nowadays, they used to be seriously good around 07-08 but their output covers the raffles, the royal and their brewpub which i think is pretty decent for its size. raffles in itself would has a huge turnover.
-
would that be out margs/dunsborough way?
still baffles me why people set up breweries in the heart of wine country and then spend a shitload on transportation costs to retail their beers. i was at IBS about a year ago and Bootleg beers were selling at 25$/4pk, fucking joke. and i have seldom seen the down south beers on tap, except for colonial but they actually know what they're doing.
if my idea ever gets off the ground it will be nice and fucking central so people have a realistic chance of tasting my beer, rather than getting sick of wine tasting and popping into a brewpub down south.

you like IPA's but dont like the bitterness at the end?
you sure you like IPA's?
also people are shitting on dude for drinking sam adams light for--for me anyway--saying he had to "think" about the purchase. if it was a 30-40$ bottle i would understand, but its not, its piss-water.

one thing to learn, dont buy coke expecting it to be coke. kind of obvious given these countries make up a large part of the golden triangle of heroin.

what is jeopardy?

we sold one absinthe that was labelled 'bitters' to bypass the 10mg/L thujone limit, it ended up being 30 mg/L, bought a bottle of it and did a large amount of shots. even with that i felt no dissociative effects and i ended up vomitting, shit is rough.
i tried some top shelf bohemian absinthe in Czech Republic, shit tastes fucking awesome but even so, none of the stuff they sold had a huge amount of thujone in it.
scientists did a mass spectrometry test on some seriously old absinthe form the 1800's, it was fabled to be around 250mg/L but was total bullshit. a tiny amount.

Dropping unnecessary knowledge (obviously I know what noel beer is, like I said, drunk it in Belgium).
Trying to make up for vomiting on yourself (goblet pfff).
Ripping on your home town breweries.
Minus 1,000 style points.
I thought cunts in here liked getting drunk.
So i posted a beer with a relatively high alcohol content.
Fucking cry.
not trying to make up for it. vomited on myself plenty of times and will certainly do it a lot more.
home town breweries? haha
aaand 7.2ABV is pretty low considering most of the beers posted in here.
people in here do like getting drunk, but the point of spending good money on good beer is to enjoy it, not get hammered.
you stepped into the beer fag thread, what you expect son?
-
the.crooked, I probably should've mentioned that this beer is brewed locally in the town I live in, which is why I posted it.
Any perthites here will be familiar with the brewery and I'd suggest they cheggit if they get the chance.
I'm aware of the availability of high alcohol beers, having visited Delirium cafe in Belgium and sampling 6 years worth of noel ales in a day.
Needless to say I don't remember a lot of it, other than my mate power yacking into a spherical beer glass and having it splash back all over him.
crime stoppers was his name
namedroponer
...i remember my first beer.
crooked means that that style usually has a higher ABV, not that 7.2% means anything special, shit brewdog have some "beers" in the 40-50ABV range. "noel" was the name given to one of the delirium beers they release for christmas, and the glass i blasted was a goblet.
LCB is the new James Squire, and hence, can go fuck themselves. even though i like their beers.

samuel adams light. i'm planning on buying it this week, any suggestions on it

update for those interested about poland;
realism; ive been kicking it with polish peoples all week, they are very openly racist here, like they hate everyone that doesnt have white skin and even then they have some hang-ups.
there are seriously few minorities here, which is a pretty stark contrast to the rest of europe. i know a gay dude here who had a friend who got jumped outside a gay bar for being gay...ha!
polish girls enjoy the dicking too.
i give this place my full endorsement.
and a joke i learned here; what happens when a jew with an erection runs into a wall?
he breaks his nose.
laterz.

I'm going to be an absolute wanker here, but fuck I hate wines with non varietal names.
"Would you like to try the Prisoner?"
Fuck me. Horrible.
no one would sell a wine like that, it would be "would you like to try the prisoner? a gsm blend from blah blah blah."
wine fags are homos though.
my boss just gave me a honey beer for sleeping on the hostel couch, look forward to trying it.

Also Richmond=close to Bridge Rd=KEBABSOne of the few advantages to having a fuckload of greeks in Melbs means a lotta good kebab joints, I'd have to say Melbs is the kebab capital of Oz in terms of quality. PM me if ya wanna comprehensive list of my top ten. On Bridge Road Zorbas and that other dodgy joint, think it's owned by the same people.
And if ya wanna trek further, Victoria st=Smack and viet food. The advantages of having a big viet population I guess
greeks make gyros, i doubt the places youre going to are that legit if its greeks (not turks) making kebabs.
that or theyre just catering to peoples ubiquitous use of a the word kebab for anything stuffed inside pita bread.
i want a kebab now.

has anyone tried that hawaiian beer? i saw it at bevmo's just didn't think of buying it.
guiness is good though, nice and smooth
and flat, and shitty. i only ever drink guiness or kilkenny on st pattys day, and even then not happily.
been drinking a lot of polish beers lately, tyskie and zywiec are obviously the main ones but even there other beers are pretty good...mind fuck trying to pronounce zywiec though (zhiv-its).
