Everything is gone now, thanks to hotwaterpls for taking this stuff off my hands!

I’m clearing out the last of my home brew equipment as I have been out of the hobby for a few years now. All items are FREE but I will gladly accept beer in return, if you are so inclined :cheers: Items are located in Salisbury, Brisbane. - copper immersion chiller - small oxygen cylinder...

This has been sold.

Hi guys. I’m downsizing my brew setup (don’t really have the time these days) and going back to BIAB. so I’m selling my Grainfather Connect. I bought it in April 2018 and have only done 12 batches on it. Everything is in perfect condition, all original accessories included. I’m also including...

Glad to hear it! I think you've come up with a recipe of your own invention there :) happy to have inspired you though.

The last time I made this, OG was 1.040 and FG was 1.013 giving an ABV of 3.54%

Hey mate, I see the problem you're talking about. Looks like the Beersmith text export screwed up. The boil hops are done in 3 groups at 60 min, 10 min, and 1 min. Here's a corrected hop schedule: 17.00 g Simcoe Bulk Brewing [12.06 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 28.1 IBUs - 23.00 g Cascade Bulk...

Beersmith calculates ~7.5 SRM / 14.9 EBC. Here's a photo of my clone alongside the real deal (taken from my previous recipe thread). TBIPA on the left, clone on the right.

Hey mate. I realise this is 2 months too late, but figured I'd respond for the benefit of any other would-be Pirate Life cloners... Below I have posted my definitive clone recipe for Pirate Life Throwback IPA. This one has the correct grain bill and hop additions. To my tastebuds this is fairly...

Nice one, sounds like you will produce a great beer then :) I strongly recommend putting your dry hops in to something like a paint strainer bag, muslin bag, etc. I've dry hopped without a bag twice, and each time had massive issues getting the beer out through the dip tube. I recommend cold...

The main thing I'm doing to limit O2 exposure is fermenting in a sealed keg. No O2 ingress, except when I dry hop. I flush the headspace with CO2 a few times after dry hopping. Once fermentation is done, I do a closed transfer from the fermenting keg to a serving keg that has been purged with...

I'm in it to win it!

That's awesome! I'm chuffed that you're giving it a go. Yes my first two batches of this beer were BIAB. They turned out fine, although I have since increased the bitterness of the recipe (as detailed in my previous post). As far as clarification all I've done is cold crashed for a day or...

Honestly I reckon that sounds pretty good. Thick and juicy milkshake IPAs and pale ales are on fashion right now! Keg it and report back how it goes.

I’ve thought of doing that before, but never tried it. This time around I’m fermenting in a keg, so my plan is to dry hop and then purge the headspace a few times to hopefully remove most of the oxygen.
