    Where to get no chill cubes in Melb.

    Hey guys, So I've been on the lookout for a long time for some decent no chill cubes, all of the cubes/jerry cans from Bunnings seem to break on me, and the seals on the Willow ones from Kmart don't work. I've found a couple of places, but I think they only sell in bulk...

    No chill DMS question.

    Hey guys, so I want to be nice to the environment and keep no chilling, I was just wondering if doing a longer boil, say 90 mins, would reduce the DMS production while no chilling, since you boil more off. Cheers! Oscar

    Need help finding a good mash tun in Melbourne.

    Hey guys, so like the title suggests i'm looking at getting a proper vessel for mashing instead of doing Brew in a Bag. What do you think? I'm also on a budget and looking for something under $100 preferably.

    I started a homebrewing blog.

    Would love some feedback, i'm really going to try to be very simple and try to keep out as much of the jargon and complicated stuff as possible. Thinking of doing some video reviews and stuff down the line. http://thebeernebula.blogspot.com.au/ Thanks!

    Couple of questions...

    Hey there! Ok so i've got a couple of problems at the moment. I've bottled a stout last week and primed with about 2 grams of dextrose per 330ml bottle, opened a bottle today to find that it was way under-carbonated, like to the point of almost being not carbonated at all. It was my first all...

    First AG BIAB done, pictures, recipe and woes inside.

    Ok so did my first AG BIAB yesterday, it went alright, though i think maybe i didn't get enough liquid out of the bag after removing from the pot because of not having a big enough bucket to drain it into. Here is how it went: Briess Pale Ale - 3.9kg Rolled oats - 560g Simpsons Choc - 337g...

    Chilling batch without wort chiller + grain to water ratio.

    Hey guys, So i'm about to do my first all grain 20 litre BIAB tomorrow with about 5.5kg of grain in my 32 litre pot, and i just remembered that i don't have a wort chiller. I'm going to be doing an ice bath, but i'm not sure whether this is a good idea, will it cause off flavours because of the...

    Coopers new style fermenter...

    Hey guys, So i have the coopers new style fermenter, and i was wondering if anyone else uses it? The main issue i am having with it is that it doesn't have a traditional airlock, and so it is harder to keep track of how your beer is fermenting. It uses a sleeve system that works (at least it...

    Help for a first time BIAB brewer?

    Hello! So i've done a lot of extract brewing over the last couple of years, mainly just to have cheap beer to drink. Last year i got into craft beers and decided to give it a go, so i did an unhopped extract + hops + specialty grain pale in a 32 litre pot i bought from a wholesale kitchen store...

    Temperature help!

    Hey! I have just started fermenting a pale ale, probably the 5th beer i've made. The temperature of the beer has been sitting at 22 - 24 C for a couple of days, but today (day 3) the fermometer showed it was sitting at 26. I chucked it in the bathtub with some ice and water and put a fan on it...
