I just discovered that one of my kegs was leaking at the gas in post and lost most of a 6kg cylinder. I should have realised when the beer was loosing carb. Live and learn. After spraying a bunch of foamy starsan on the tip of the keg to find the leak I removed the post and noticed the top of...

Hi guys. I ordered 4lb of hops from Yakima on the 26/9/18. After realising they hadn't' arrived in ages I tracked the shipping and discovered they have been with customs since the 3/10/18. I haven't received any communication from customs. What do I do? I can't find any way to contact them...

Any other brewers into Vaping? How long have you been cigarette free? What gear do you have? What flavours are you into? What goes well with your favourite beer? I was rocking a Eleaf iStick 50w with Subtank Mini for a couple of years. Just upgraded to a Voopoo Drag and OBS Engine Nano and...

So I was pondering a machine that milled and doughed in at the same time and looking on the net for ideas. I came across the idea of wet milling, where the grist is moistened before it's milled. Apparently it makes the husks more resilient to the milling process which leads to easier lautering...

I dont have a lot of experience with sours. Ive tried a few commercial examples and most are not to my liking. I tried Brett not Brett by Indian Ocean Brewing for GABBS and was well impressed though. To me it tasted like fruit yogurt beer and I would love to try and brew something similar to...

I had an incident with my fermenter heater, it died. The brew dropped to 12c before I noticed. I checked the gravity and it was a bit high a little under 1.020 after starting at 1.065. I bought heat belt and installed it, it rose up to 20c over night. No activity for a day or so so I gave it a...

I'm looking to build a multi tap draught box for special occasions. Im thinking a 45L Polyethelene Icekool icebox from evakool ($130) with a pair of kegking cold plates ($150 each). Just Chinese taps will do ($25 each) and maybe $50 worth of other fittings. If I stack two cold plates on top of...

As used in the growing number of single vessel breweries that have made it to market, are these devices available separately? I have seen people have bought and modified pots, but it can be pretty hard to find suitable pots I have found. There seems ot be a gap in the market for Malt pipes...
