So I took the plunge

[Spiceman]

Double congratulations. All the best. This actually calls for a toast.
Its great to see something created during these lock down times.

Only pale Ale available?

Pale ale is better than no ale.
Well done on this venture, will support soon.

Well Done. The effects of the lockdown have made many positive changes to business and people . I have witnessed many more.

[antvz]

A great idea! I will be supporting you once I have a bit of spare cash!

I'm in Modjadjiskloof, Limpopo,and the quote comes out as only R175 for shipping. Is that right?

Good luck with your venture, and a very nice website (viewed on my mobile).

Hmmmm.......would live to see how well raw wort travels.

I certainly hope Danie has purged the cube with CO2?

Although I am in the UK with plenty of choice of alcohol available, I have passed on the link to my friends in South Africa. Hope they enjoy it!

I'm literally about to place my order. I just had a question regarding the bottling. Do you still need to prime the beer when bottling?
Regardless I've placed my order.... Mond water al.😂

Wynand, I will see what courier cost will be to my neck of the woods on Monday, being in not a major city centre it is a bit more dear to ship stuff from your valley.

I do have a tame crowd on my books, running interlinks and smaller vehicles, who does all my stuff for me from Jhb and will let the local guys know, if they want to do a group deal.

It should be around R175 ket kit Riaan. As dit meer is sal ek dit gewoonlik opvreet as deel van ops cost.

No purging. The heat drives off oxygen and the boiling heat remains that hot (pastuerisation temps) for a good 20~30 minutes. If it works well in Australia with their heat, it does just fine in SA, I'd say. My cans are even UV resistant, and not almost completely clear like the ones sold Down Under.

Yep, you have to prime it. Instructions will come along in due time if you place an order!

On a related note guys, I sold out this morning. I'm brewing another 3kL on Thursday so don't despair! More is coming!

Ah, OK, hot cube method. Should be fine.

Ja gonna be a bit moeilik since there aint a thermometer in the bucket. I put it in the pantry cupboard, hopefully the temps stays fairly consistent there.

Going to drop you a WhatsApp soon!

Between 15°C and 20°C. The yeast is S-04. Extreme range is 12°C to 25°C but 15°C to 20°C is the "optimal range". Pretty neutral as well.

[Estee]

Absolutely Brilliant!

Well done you.

Ordering shortly.

[natand]

I see the one is out of stock and the other is on backorder.

Realistically what is the lead time for the pale ale for Gauteng delivery and how is your supply chain coping?

Well done though, I have zip experience with brewing (except Pineapple beer) so if you can simply for us then great!

[ColeGP]

Can you post a picture of what you getting in the kit?

OK, I quoted S-05 which is what most people use.
