Hi all, I have 2 old corny kegs for sale in Brissie pick up only. They may need reconditioning, I have never used them since I got them in a bulk buy of 4 but I only ever use 2 so must sell the other 2. $40 each

G'day all, I've been brewing a few years now. Live in Brisbane but will most likely be moving back to Canberra in the next 6 months. I mainly make AG's but also make partials. I found once I made the change over I cant go back to kits and kilo's. Have been using this site as a great...

Hey all well its about time I come out of the woodwork and come meet all the people that I use the knowledge of to make my brews. Very much looking forward to the event. I will bring a keg of something nice along.

How many have you got mate and would I be able to grab 2 off you? I can pick up whenever

From what I've learnt with kits is that you never just use the kit if you're looking for something that tastes ANYTHING like the beer you're after. The instructions regarding the yeast would tell you what the lowest temp it should go to is. The yeast that comes in the kits is not true lager...

ok mate thanks for the adnice...i'll just grab myself a beer and stress less :P

ok good to know....I wont be doing that again! Thanks heaps for the advice. I like to think my sanitation procedures are meticulous and i havent suffered any infections just yet, but this is the first real lager beer with low temps I've been doing so just wanted to be sure :)

This maybe wrong but i would've thought you would need to make sure you boil all of your mash including the sparge bit becasue the boil, as well as redcing water in the wort also kills of bacteria and if you just added 5L of sparge into the fermenter straight up you could risk infection? But I...

yeah rehydrating was what I did sorry to confuse, I just added it to water with a little sugar as was advised as an alternative to double pitching. I agree that it makes more sense to pitch at the fermenting temp although mine wasnt as low as I'd like but yeah I just wanted to see what the...
