Thanks Guys! The true test is still to come but it has been a blast just getting this far! Standby for the for brew day! Cant wait! Juddy

Howdy Today I finally got my new brew rig up and running. For the last ten years I have been brewing in the garage on a rig made up of an assortment of bits and pieces I have gathered over the journey. It worked well and I have made some great beers with the basic gravity fed 3 tier system. But...

Was there that very weekend and was amazed! Tried the wheat! The barman had to pour about 1lt of beer from the tap to get my small sample due to frothing. The taste was horrible! I'm not the biggest wheat fan to begin with so passed this as 'just another funny tasting wheat beer'! When asked...

Hello fellow brewers! I have read with great interest both this thread and most others that are related to all things stirplate. Firstly I would freely admit that I am in no way electronically or electrically minded and can only talk of my own expirience. About two years ago I was convinced...

Hey Kleiny Long time no see! Hotco in Cheltnam are the go. I'm on my second one and have always found them very easy to deal with. I've been using a 2400 watt jobie in conjunction with a three ring burner, and things happen pretty quickly on brew day. My first one got water into the wiring...

My first attempt and taste of an Aussie version of a Russian Imperial Stout. WOW! :D :D This is a big, intense, black beer! With 1kg of Chocolate and 1Kg of roasted grain in a 10Kg grainbill! A little help from some Dark DME and Demerara Sugar to get the gravity down and the Alcohol "UP"...

Thanks Mate I love taking pictures of some of my better brews. And this is definately one of my favourite beers. :D Not sure how well it represents the style, but it's a regular on tap here! Juddy

Big day brewing and kegging! Now time to relax and enjoy a few of these... Dusseldorf Altbier. I love this beer! :rolleyes: The perfect balance of malt and hops... :D Cheers Juddy

Home from night shift @ 0830. HLT on for todays brew... 06-08-2008 Chunk's Belgian Dubbel Recipe Specifics ---------------- Anticipated OG: 1.085 Anticipated EBC: 26.1 Anticipated IBU: 25.4 Brewhouse Efficiency: 80 % Wort Boil Time: 90...

I bought one of these a few months back to use as a HLT. The plastic inner of the esky is very thin, and when you remove the esky tap and install the valve, there is a heap of movement. This was a little disconcerning, but it has held up for about 10 brews. The polystyrene insulation gives off...

Hey Cliffo I've done about 10 brews with grain crushed by my millmaster and a massive rotary hammer drill. The gap setting equation worried me at first but I now have a pretty simple philosophy. - The finner I crush the better my efficency! - The finner I crush the easier my sparge gets stuck...

The grains have just hit the mash tun for my first go a a truely big beer! :P Its a cross between a Russian Imperial Stout and an Imperial Oatmeal Stout! Well thats what I reckon... 04-05-2008 Chunk's Russian Oatmeal Imperial Stout A ProMash Brewing Session Report...

But Razz... I was kinda hoping to show you the Irish Red Ale... After all it was you that told me to brew it! Great beer. Very young, and should get even better! :) Cheers again Juddy

Thanks for the compliments! The photo was easy, but getting a Kolsch I'm happy with has proved much harder! Very hard to hide a flaw in this beer! Tonight it's an all Cascade and Amarillo APA. It's all be said before... I love this beer! :) Cheers Juddy
