    Sterilizing

    I feel that by discrediting a low cost solution proven to be effective by many home brewers over the years and instead peddling a product of your own, you are just discrediting yourself. Aside from this, isn’t active peddling of ones wares in every single thread concerning products that they...

    Sterilizing

    Have been using sodium percarbonate for a long time now, and do not agree with point 1. I have soaked my fermenters in percarbonate after heavy dry hop loadings (200g plus in 23 litres) and all traces of aroma from the hops is removed. This to me would indicate that the hop oils have infact...

    Ultratap versus Intertap

    Hahaha this is why i have been away from this forum for a long time. Good to see some things never change. Over inflated egos who think they are experts on everything flaming each other behind the safety of a keyboard. What a circus. Intertap, ultratap, both look the same and do the same...

    Centennial or Victoria.

    About the only hop you could potentially sub in place of galaxy is melba. Its basically ellerslies answer to galaxy. Do not use it to bitter with though unless you like black pepper in your beer

    Intertap vs perlick taps

    I think it comes down to personal preference. Im glad i chose the intertap as it does what its supposed to do, and does it well. It pours beer! And it didnt cost me 80-100 for the tap on its own. If you had a flashy font setup on a custom bar i can see the allure of something flashy like a...

    Which hop is best for double IPA?

    I disagree 200% with this. Nail released an american amber called beazle brew as part of their brew log series which was exclusively chinook for aroma/flavour and it was great

    Red Alert

    Yep agree there. Had to use some caraaroma in this one to get the right shade i was after. This is still one of the best beers I have made to date. Will have to revisit it sometime. This was with 16% carared and 5% CaraAroma. About 50ibu I think from memory? Despite the high percentage of...
