Graham, they are 25cm X 34cm. I just weighed one that is pretty much stuffed full and it weighed 7lbs 4oz.

Are they ziplock brand or just no-name? Where did you pick them up, that is a good size as I typically buy my specialty grains in 5# batches.

They are actually just no name and I purchased them from the local dollar store. I actually have 29 of them now with various specialty grains in them. lol

I'll check my local store but any chance you know which store you got them at? I'll be in Moncton this weekend.

Never mind, I keep thinking your in Moncton but your not and tapatalk doesn't display location. My bad.

I got them at the Dollarama in Quispamsis. I'm assuming that Moncton has a Dollorama as well, don't they?

[akr71]

Probably, but there definitely one in Amherst

Blueberry lambic. Two left, cherry and plain. Then that's it I think.

Fucking domino disaster today. Had a cider bottle explode. Caused the festa brew box to weaken which had my glass carboy on top. As soon as I walked into my room the glass carboy fell down and shattered.

Ouch. At least you weren't standing under it when it dropped!

[LeafMan66_67]

At least the carboy was empty.

[sleepyjamie]

Yes thank god.

Nice work! Did you have a sample of the blueberry one?

[mr x]

I did. Not much fruit flavour AFAIAC, but it was a small sample. I'd like to try a commercial bottle, but don't know of many. Maybe there is a reason for that......

[BBrianBoogie]

Sounds pretty in line with what I've read, they're supposed to give a lovely color but the flavor can be tough to get right I guess. The only real blueberry lambic I'm aware of is Cantillon Blabaer, unfortunately it's nearly impossible to find a bottle. Been on the hunt for years, they're out there but usually command a huge price.

I'm trying to decide what fruit I'm going to use for my last lambic, you'll have to let me know how it works out when they're carbed. Leaning towards apricot at the moment.

How are you corking those corks? I'd love to use wire cages.

Crappy wing type bottle corker.

I've got one of the large floor corkers if you ever want to cork some bottles.

Shined up my keg with a paint stripper disc. Just ordered some polishing compound to get a mirror finish.

The Cantillon blueberry lambic is supposed to be fantastic (no surprise), but it's pretty much impossible to get in North America. Unless you're willing to fork over a hell of a lot of money and buy it on eBay.

Oops, just noticed PEIBeerGuy said pretty much the same thing. Sorry!

How much blueberry did you rack the beer onto, anyway?
