These are the two fermenters I have had going filled with my home brew before it is ready to bottle. With cool nights it is important to try to keep the temperature above 20 degrees (70F) so it can ferment prior to bottling. Wrapping them up in blankets helps to keep the warmth in. Both fermenters have now been bottled and need to sit for at least another two weeks (preferably 3 or 4 weeks) before they are ready to drink. Most of my brews sit for more like 6 weeks.
Yesterday we set off in the car to look through a couple of towns we had heard about, (and seen on TV) just to the north of Noosa. All in all it was a bit disappointing, the towns were not that different to anything else we had seen. This is the mountain which overlooks Pomona. We also had a quick look at Cooroy.
Visitors to Noosa are always told to go to Boreen Point on Lake Coroibah which is about 20ks north of Noosa. The best thing about Boreen Point was the hotel as this photo shows. There was only a general store there and quite a few holiday homes. I guess if you were into sailing it would be attractive but we were a little disappointed.
We then headed into Tewantin (a suburb of Noosa) and the RSL for lunch. What the meal lacked in taste it more than made up with quantity. On the way back to the car I took this photo of the Noosa River. For us this was probably the most attractive spot we visited during the day. However we can say that we have been to Cooroy and Boreen Point!The West Texas friend is off to the Great Lakes on a bus trip on Friday. We all sit back here in Australia, a little green with envy. However all of us retireds (or many of us anyway) have our eyes on another part of USA ... Wall St and what is happening to the share market! It is a bit scary at the moment!
One piece of good news for us is the forecast of rain on the Sunshine Coast for Saturday and Sunday. We have not had a drop for over three weeks now.
