Hi all, looking at throwing this simple cider together; 9 x 2.4L Berri Apple Pear Juice 250g LDME yeast nutrient yeast Any tips, changes or additions to make it better would be welcomed, cheers.

Hi peeps, so after trying my first and helping with doing an AG BIAB i'm keen to make the jump. Looking for tips on the equipment to get. Have been suggested a large electric coffee urn as i'm hoping to do it outside on my balcony/deck as much as the weather permits. Am open to other...

as you can see from my earlier post my OG was 1.043. Has been going along for 2.5 weeks at 13degrees and the reading today was 1.018 so it seems to be taking a while, though since this is my first lager in the temp controlled fridge i'm guessing that is due to the lower temps. Hopefully she'll...

LHBS said to be careful as the condensation can lead to contamination of the brew ?

I have been warned that using gladwrap instead of the lid with my fermenter can lead to problems with the condensation etc. I currently have a batch of dark lager going in the fridge sitting at 13DegC and am gettig paranoid about it. There is no way i can fit my fermenter in the fridge using a...

I put my Cerny down yesterday, used Brew Cellar European Lager Yeast pitched at 18 degC the OG was 1.043. Have it sitting in the fridge at 13 deg C at the moment. Fingers crossed it comes out the goods, have heard many good things about this FWK.

thanks for all the tips and info guys. I went with sterilising the probe and putting it in the batch. I use the glad wrap method and thought it would be the easiest and most accurate way to control the temp. Wish me luck, cheers.

Hi, i am just about to put down my first FWK its a ND Cherny Pivo (Dark Lager), very excited to taste this as i am a bandit for a dark lager. It will be the first time ive used my temp control and fridge as i wanted to step up from the tub of water and ice bricks for my FWK. My question is...

Interested at giving one a go, anyone got a good recipe or idea? Cheers :beer:

I am enjoying my first brewing experience but am looking at making things easier by using a fridge in my garage that is at the moment not used at all. Thing is my fermenter will not fit in there with the current bubbler airlock and have read some threads suggestiing to use gladwrap as a lid to...

Cheers guys that's all dandy, understandable and no harder than some simple wiring I've had to do in the past. Thanks again..

Cheers, is it as easy as clipping and stripping an extension lead and make the unit the middle man? If so, i can't see where the earth wires would be connected on the unit you linked.

Hi, keen to utilize a spare fridge my landlord has in the garage i rent, rather than it just sitting there i may as well put it to use with my beer.. Have seen people mention temperature controls available on ebay for around $20, can somone link me to one, preferably one i can simply plug in...

about to do my first brew and have read how important cleaning and sterallizing is, but how paranoid do i need to be? Like where am i meant to leave the stuff to dry if im using no rinse sanitizer? Im paranoid leaving it on the kitchen sink, even though i wiped it with the sanitizer is not good...
