Make sure you go for aa double clock reg straight away. I usually gas my kegs for 36 hours at 300 KPA. If you only have a single clock reg it makes it a pain to have a beer while a keg is gassing. With a double clock reg you can be gasing at 300 KPA and drinking at 20 KPA without interupting...

Hi Josh Yeah - not the greatest kit but still can produce a good beer. You can soup it up with 100-200 g light maly or corn syrup or both. Add some haletau hops for a more europian style. You could also buy a proper lager yeast to go with it. Another option is to substitute the sugars in other...

My Missus loves the lighter drier beers so I do a few Coopers Lagers with the dry enzyme. I would suggest using mainly dextrose. I think its a bit of a waste using cornsyrup or extra malt when using an enzyme. My understanding is that the enzyme will convert the non-fermentable part of these...

BOC will not refill or swap another company's cylinders. They now have unique numbers on each cylinder that is scanned on swaps. If others are using your account for swapping, get ready for a bill hitting you up for rental on new cylinders issued under your account. Will this guy refill any...

Hi Guys I am out of the tour. I have to run the kids around in the morning. Enjoy! Matt is a top bloke and his setup is great. Also, for drinking afterwards, there is also an Irish pub on King St. - Kelly's on King if you need some Irish beers. If you are having a feed on the way up King st...

MHB That was a cracker response - thanks I only came back to add a Wikipedia reference with some useful info. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beano_(dietary_supplement) Cheers Pweder

I forgot to add that the brews take a lot longer in the fermenter. The more maltier the brew, the longer the enzyme will work to break down the sugars. Also, because of the lower SG mentioned earlier, it is difficult to use a hydrometer to know when it is done. I fall back to the "...wait til it...

While being new to this site, I have been brewing a fair while. What keeps me brewing is that you can brew to ANY taste. I have and do use dry enzymes. My wife likes the lighter dryer beers while I like the darker maltier drops. However, drinking great malty beer all the time may result in...

21st or 28th is good for me for tour of St Peters Brewery. It will need to be after 1 PM though cos of running the kids around. Cheers Pweder

Gidday New to the forum! Woz lead here by the lure of a tour of Matt's Brewery at St Peters. Put me on the list thanks Crozdog! Been brewing since my share accomodation days in 1988, kicking around the inner west. I live just around the coorner from Matt's brewery. Cheers Pweder 1 Crozdog 2...
