Pick me! Pick me!

I put this down on Monday and it smelled so good from mash to boil. I tasted the wort and now I am as keen as mustard to have it on tap!!! I pitched the yeast at 22degC And it sparked to life overnight with a good steady burble from the airlock at 19 degC

how was the turmeric added Mardoo?

I added it at the request of the bride, she cited the health benefits! absolutely healthy at 6%!! It just adds another dimension to the flavours. I should add that I used a fermenter that I keep for these kind of beers as it does stain them a nice yellow colour!

I made this recipe a while ago and it was awesome. I was at our local farmers market on the weekend and ginger was $10kg so I got a Kg and am going to make this again. I kegged it and force carbed it as if it was a "beer" and was sensational. The wife loved it too! OSB Lemgineric Ale (Spice...

Just to let you all know, I tried the You Tube method of "gassing" through the liquid post as per the video. I did it 4 times, letting the keg settle for a few minutes between each go, and it works!!!!! Took about 35 minutes in all and she pours like a champion. Thanks to all for the help. Cheers

I like the sound of the beer will survive! I will try the You Tube method and report the results! Thanks for the info people!

Cheers to that Manticle! I will give it a go.

Doofus me forgot to set the alarm to remind me to take the gas off the keg. I have been force carbonating my beers for ever and have never before done this! My usual is 40PSI for 36 hours in my 19lt cornie and it is perfect for my beers. It copped an extra 12 hrs of CO2 and is just like a foam...

Awesome Guys, thanks for the replies. I do have the 30lt urn, 2000w element,actually the base of my "water purification plant", an amazing device that makes 90% Alch! I also have the 2 x 60 lt pots for the boil kettle and mash tun. Using less coil sounds the go! Another question I had was...

Hi All. I currently do BIAB. I have a 60 lt boil kettle with a basket for the bag. Simple and works a treat. I have about 20 brews down and most have been great. I am wanting to make a HERMS using a 30lt Urn with an 18 mt coil in it. I have a temp control that I was going to have the probe in...

In total it was about $320.00 that includes the fittings etc. it works a treat.

I used a conical bottom 30 lt tank from Rotomold in WA. Here is the thread on what I did. http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/72107-my-conical-fermenter/ It works fantastic! Once it is sealed and yeast pitched, the wort does never see any "air". Right through to filling the kegs! I have put an...
