Have recently got a kegerator same setup i always find the first glass i pour a bit frothy. I put this down to warm tap and line up the font as i dont have a chiller on the font itself. Lines are slightly longer than yours as well.

Welcome to the forum. Doing coopers kits are OK but suggest you visit a good brewshop brewmart in Bayswater are truly an awesome place to visit and will help you out. They stock a great range of additional gear and advice to get your kits up to your desired brews. Steeping grains into hops is...

Hi Jhm looking at your innovation and you do what you gotta do. Here's another idea if you can get your hands on a 2nd had fridge preferably 500lt plus then just get yourself an Inkbird controller. They are plug and play in that hook the controller in to your power then the fridge into the...

Mate after Biab for years I'm living the dream ,so much great kit out there these days you can really go overboard on the spend. Reminds me of a quote about fishing lures an old mate told me. These things catch more fishermen than fish. At 60 I'm old school been through the days of tin a good...

HI all not been on here for ages . After many years of Biab in a 50 Lt keg I finally got all modern a got my hands on a 50lt Guten. Recent trip to Perth I pulled off a stunning deal of a bloke who just gave up Brewing for some reason. This purchase consisted of the following. 50lt Guten (12...

No razz first blue also added some concentrate flavour not treated also. Biggest piss off was 6 month ageing then end up with brown vinegar.

Ok final result is in . DISASTER totally oxidized on pouring had a fizzing head that dissipated in like 10 secs . Tasted the rum and oak in it . Over oaked and just wrong pretty sad really tipped it into the mulch pile. Think the staves may have introduced some infection. Lesson learned .

Done and in the kettle had too make change to grain bill as no dark crystal. Went with this. 4.7 kg Coopers schooner 200g wheat. 200g caraaroma. 200g medium crystal. XPA yeast from 4 stubbies stepped up to 1lt starter. Looking foward to the finished product.

Cheers Ben. Looks good mate will be cracking in to the brewroom bigtime come Thursday doing a 2week on 2 week off roster. Going to give the coopers schooner malt a go (25kg) in stock and go with yor mash temp and hop schedule. Thanks for posting.
