I recommend adding something from Ekim brewing to the tap list, no affiliation just a recommendation

Any advice or methods when doing banco to back brews? Do you need to fully clean the grainfather prior to starting your next brew or a rinse is fine?

Grott you nailed it ! It just shut down from the door being open for too long! Turned it off for a few hours and then turned it back on away she went. Thank goodness!!!!!!!

Hey guys I'm currently in a fairly devasted state. Iv been been slowly working on my Keg fridge and today I was attempting to finish the last pieces of the puzzle. I drilled a hole through the side for the co2 line and as I did I heard a noise which I thought at the time was the battery of my...

Sorry guys gone

I knocked this up about 1-2yrs ago not 100% sure. Keeps the beer cold no problem even through the summer we have just had. I think it's a kelvinator I'm only selling because my inlaws gave me a bigger one. So all crap aside the fridge itself isn't really worth anything but it's great for some...

Corny keg up for grabs 99% I put a new seal kit through it when I bought it 12months ago but haven't used it. Missing 1 poppet valve For condition see pics $55 Pickup Hornsby

Just wondering what spacing everyone finds comfortable between taps particularly flow control taps assuming a little more space is required to comfortably operate the flow control. Centre of shank to centre of shank measurement would be great.

Scored this fridge of the inlaws and it appears that one i cut a bit out of the shelving on the door I'll fit 4 kegs in which double what I currently can. My question is about tap height. Currently I have a bar fridge with a font on top but this fridge is 1300mm high so with the font on top I'd...

I've got about 50 pet bottles and at least that in glass longnecks if anyone wants to pick them up from Hornsby preferably this weekend

Sorry for the late reply, my Grain bill was 8.37kg and I used 22.7L mash water and 13.4L to sparge. I did have the efficiency set at 75% The sparge was super slow

I don't know how to work out what pre boil gravity should be. I did take a reading though in anticipation of being asked this question. In the end I was lucky to get about 17L in the fermenter with a OG of 1.068 which is a lot lower than the intended 1.075

Howdy howdy, im currently brewing a ruination IPA clone and I think my pre boil volume is low only 25l and I'm aiming for a 23l batch. My sparse was really slow so I'm assuming the grain has held more water. Do I just deal with having less in the fermenter or should I top up with water.? I'm...

Honestly I think this is a good beer and I would like to make it , having said that I would like it to be a little more well rounded, maybe a little less malt forward ......????
