Hey guys :) Been a while since I have been on here and want to make a Kilkenny clone but as I am still pretty green with AG I was hoping that someone here would have a good recipe! Regards, Matt

Buy a filter mate.

Just keep an eye on the airlock and top up with some water if needed. I am however surprised you are getting such foaming from a kit yeast but I never made too many kits before moving to AG. Sounds like your having fun :)

Mate with a crack in the lid you may not see any airlock activity. Look for krausen on top of the beer (a thick white head). Wouldn't pitch another yeast, wait another 24 hours and see if a white head forms on the top of your beer and remember to use your hydrometer to check when the beer is...

I assume you fill your hot liqour tun from the tap so i dont see why it makes a difference other than your temps may not be quite right.

I hear what the guys are saying about the consistency and honestly if i had the money to burn i would purchase a herms system as well but in saying that I hit a 75 - 80 percent efficiency in an esky and have no problems hitting a mash temp within a degree. Mashing in steps though would be a...

Its great he sent out another malt. It seems everyday the quality of things we buy lack the finishing touches and quality and that goes for more than homebrew. With things that are mass produced quality isn't as good but the price is cheaper. It is disappointing purchasing something new that...

Mate check out the good guys if you have one near you. I have recently purchased a fridge, chest freezer, microwave, vacuum, washing machine and all prices were far better than any others around. When i asked why they were so much cheaper i was told that they have scouts that go around to the...

Thats what they told you to save face ha ha

Brewer Pete would't it feel good to let that out of date can of goo fly through the air and smash somewhere behind the counter and give the guy a look of yeah what and walk your ass out the door! Save yourself the headache and petrol and buy online from one of the good suppliers.

If your tempreture controll device is reading 30+ personally i would wait for it to chill down a few degrees to around the 26's pitch and continue to chill to fermentation temp. Adding some chilled water is a good idea and i would recommend a water filter if your not using one. No need to stir...

If his gravity is high wouldn't topping up with some water be the go and also get him some more beer for his money?

Nice setup B) . Definately going to enjoy making the first one, i'm onto my 3rd tomorrow and looking forward to it. The smell is sensational.

Dont tend to have any problems with clarity to my mind. After fermentation i rack to my secondary with gelatine and chill at 0 - 2 degrees for a week, seems to do the trick :)
