Hi All, I'm fairly new to brewing and I am interested in finding out what products in Australia people use to clean their Fermenter and equipment? I have made a few kit ciders (i haven't got to beer yet) and I have always used what has come with the kit (coppertun cold water cleaner which...

Beef / Venison Jerky recipe I use Skirt Steak but round will do - you want a nice lean cut with no fat (cut either with or against the grain... I prefer with the grain which makes it a bit stringy and therefore chewy) A sprinkling of Garlic powder A sprinkling of Onion powder Soy Sauce (enough...

Wasn't game to unfortunately..... I had my bro (who is reasonably experienced- a lot more than me anyway) take a look at it and told me to chuck it... not to worry though... I'll have another crack. I think the problem was the yeast that I used.... I got it posted to me and I think that half...

Thanks for your help guys but my ginger beer was a fail.... It looked fine but didn't smell good at all so I dumped it - a $20 learning experience. I have since changed my fermenter to a proper screw top one and I installed a tap and an airlock. Hopefully I will have better luck with my next...

Back from OS and checked the Gravity. It is at 1014. Should I bottle it now or wait for it to go down further?

Thanks guys, much appreciated for your help

Thanks Warra, I'll leave it until I get back. Any benefit to adding more yeast while I'm gone?

What would you suggest then Bum?

I have experienced a similar problem though I started from scratch from a recipe I found on Youtube (Brewtube). This is the first brew I have made from scratch after doing a few Mad Millie cider kits to keep the missus happy (which turned out perfect BTW). I did 300gms of ginger boiled for...
