wait... arent we all boycotting CUB products while strike is on?

Just tried one, it's still in the fermenter 5kg weyerman pils 1kg Gladfield rye Cosby farms exp #4 and #6 to 30IBU M36 liberty bell mangrove jacks Mash 67c 30min recirc So used the #6 fwh, 10, 20steep #4 10, 20steep Finished with 20L @ 1.055 Shit efficiency I know, didn't have any...

Yeah I didn't rate the sly fox when I first had it. Then the sale bought a heap of fresh supply and really enjoyed it. Still the discounted price equated to $60 carton. It had inspired me to nail a summer ale recipe, when I get a stir plate I'll try recondition the yeast. Sounds like a fun...

Any response back? Also how did the stepped up version of the beer you made end up?

Yeah robo brew looks great. All systems have teething issues. Regarding efficiency, your crush will have most effect, then secondly different brands have found to give higher efficiency too (gladfield was mentioned specifically). Ive never really worried about the colour/opaqueness of wort going...

Black Dog, you dont find you get grass? people report grass if left in too long... and correct me if im wrong, if the temp is very low (ideal serving temps). not sure i believe it about the nz hops... interesting none the less I guess i gotta work on storage of my beer too. Slowly but surely...

I use a hop ball on the chain that hooks onto lid. ill deffs keep it more in mind about oxidation. Atm im having a run on lagers and more malt driven beers so until next time, ill keep looking at my process Cheers Guys

Yeah try and balance your system. I find a 2 degrees I can run 1M 5mmID with reg set at 65kPa and get 2.5vols Carbination in the keg and get a decent pour. Approx... Figure out what temp you like your beer, then figure out how carbonated you want it the figure the regulator setting to get...

Hey guys, Im finidng the beers I'm bottle conditioning are tasting best after 2 weeks and then on the downhill after a month. These are hop Forward beers pale ale and IPA types. Is there anything I can do to prolong it? Is this something to do with colloidal stability, would White labs clarity...

yeah i rest the hose on the colander on top of the grainbed

Those times sound about right. remember the more water, the more energy it will take to heat up. You can only put in so much energy (2400w? 1900+500?) so more water more time. The more dense the liquid (more sugar, higher SG) the longer it will take as well.

Are you guys new to all grain or did you come from BIAB? SOunds like youre not setting the grain bed, and just running off your wort thru the tap too fast in generall... Good things take time yaknow Um so with the vourloauf, go very slow, im talking a Litre/Min for the first few. This get the...

i use a pool to check if im leaking gas... just submerge and look for bubbles
