Hi W.stephaner and markharnack, welcome to the Sunny Coast. Whereabouts are you on the coast?

Hi Everyone, Is there anyone in the Caloundra QLD or Caloundra West QLD area keen for a brew day over the Xmas break. Always keen for a beer and a brew. Please let me know.

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know where I can buy grains and hops for brewing on the Sunshine Coast? I know there are a few places in Brisbane but I don't brew all that often and when I do, it would be good to buy locally. Any suggestions? Thanks.

So when is the best time to "dry hop"? After 3 or 4 days or after the wort has fermented? What's everyone's thoughts? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

It's aluminium....

Hi everyone, I'm planning on doing a BIAB this weekend which I haven't done for awhile. I'm using an 80L stock pot. Any recommendations on how to clean it up ready for the brew? Warm soapy water? Dish washing detergent? Will I need to give the bag a good clean out as well? Thanks.

Hi seeker, I've sent you a PM

Hi, I am going to start BIAB brewing soon and thought I would start to try and get my head around Beersmith 2. I am going to be using an 80l aluminium pot on a gas burner. I am aiming for around 43l batch size (fermentor) but how do I work out things like how much loss am I going to have during...

Hi Everyone, When I empty a 20l cube of wort, how do I clean it to refill it later on (weeks later) with hot wort? Do I use just normal napisan? What about bleach or milton's? Do I keep it filled with a solution until I use it next? And how much napisan, bleach or miltons do I need to use...

Hi, I have been using fresh wort kits for the last 18 or months or so and I would like to upgrade to something that I have more control over the finishing product. I know people are saying to go straight to the Grainfather system but time is not on my side. It would be good if the GF did enough...

Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy 2lt PET bottles for brewing?

All Inn Brewing has Fresh Wort Kits.Their range of kits are getting bigger too.

I put down a black IPA fresh wort kit last weekend and added 1kg dextrose and a nottingham yeast and have had the yeast explode though the FV and the air lock. Is this brew stuffed or can I still use it? Should I tip it out and start again or stick with it. I'd love your opinion. Check out the pics.

I use the All Inn FWK all the time and I think they are great. Rye IPA is one of my favourites alongside the American Brown. I always dry hop. Quick and easy. Suits my needs.

Hi everyone, I'm brewing with Fresh Wort Kits and I would like to look at doing a pumpkin ale. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this and what type of FWK should I use? I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.
