    How Long to Oxygenate wort?

    Commercials aren't wrong. They use a sinter stone during transfer usually as stated above (1L/m) ive seen some people do 1.5L/m as well and the fv is open to release pressure. The problem is the temp at transfer. If its still 26 degrees then you won't get as much dissolved as if it was 8...

    Diacetyl

    Indeed, a higher temp converts the precursor quicker but its not that its not there, it can take a couple of weeks to get diacetyl levels into acceptable ranges depending on yeast strain and health etc. If its not left for enough time, the acetolactate will convert in the keg/bottle and be very...

    would 50 litre keg be large enough for double batch?

    Standard keg holds 50L, american kegs hold 58. If you can come across one go for it, saved my bacon a few times when brewing higher gravity beers with long boils A standard 50 is fine for doubles but you do need to watch and make sure. For a 5L boil off, and a 40-42L batch (2 kegs plus...

    West Ryde (Sydney) Water. Low pH

    Strange that its gone so low. You really should cool all samples to room temp prior to checking (couldn't gather if you waited that long or not) for the probe longevity if not for the accurate reading. There are two issues at play at higher temp, the wort will read a different pH at the...

    FS: SYD FERMENTATION FRIDGE

    I'm guessing this is gone? If not I'll definitely take it.. The wife wouldn't be happy but I would love to have 2 double batches going at once!

    Liquid Hops

    It says on the original link that its life is 12 months once opened. It also says about it lasting "the life of the beer" in the bottle.. Which could be specified as 9-12 months from date of packaging. I'd go 1ml and then bump it up, but if you just go 2mls then I'm sure it will be fine, the...

    Liquid Hops

    1mL/10L is the dosage rate so 1.9mLs should do a corny. Although they do mention tasting but its hard without proper micro measurements. I'd just go 1 ml and then double it if you need more

    Sydney Bulk Grain Buy

    best to wait for a new list if he can get other brands (weyermann etc) then people may change what they get/want more etc, better to get the new pricing and list to have informed decisions. I'd probably even start a new thread when you're ready AB, since the price list will change.

    Corny keg carbonation

    Pouring pressure in my opinion is better, never over carbed. I like beers on the lower end so I'd prefer to not get it too high. If the beer is cold going in, 24 hours on gas is enough
