Hey mate, would it fit a standard 23L fermenter?

Dr, Im going to go with your recipe, I really like the look of it. I do like the look of that JSGA recipe floating round ATM too. But this one is next, for sure. Ive had a Tooheys draught kit that I needed to use first so thats in at the monent. When that gets bottled ill get this one going...

Hi, I stated a brew on Wednesday night, Tooheys draught k+k. I got it down to 22 degrees and then yeasterday ,in the heat, i forgot to turn the fan on to keep it cool using the wet towell method. It got up to 25 degress. Last night I got it back to 22 degrees and I plan on keepnig there for the...

I found some lemon myrtle in my cupboard and thought I might try and put some in a future brew. It is the dried, crushed leaves of the lemon myrtle tree. Has anybody used this? I am wondering if I should put it at the begining or put it in after fermentation has finished? Also, in what form...

So because i can't rack, dry hopping at FG is ok to do and leave for 7 more days? That seems like a long time to let it go after FG.

As far as flavour and chemical changes are concerned, whats the difference between adding hops at the start in the fermenter and adding hops after racking (or adding to the fermenter after FG)? How does the fermentation process affect the flavour of the hops? Im trying to understand why we do...

Thanks everyone. I think I will give this recipe above a crack. Is this any different to the Brewcraft LCPA recipe kit? http://www.ebrewcraft.com.au/afa.asp?idWeb...10726&ID=96 Just a question, why is it that the Chinook hops are kept out until FG is reached? Thanks

I have a can of Tooheys draught that came with my fermenter that I didnt use. Has anyone made this kit and how did iturn out? I recon itsprobably not too good (thats why I havnt made it). Is there a nice way to use it?

Thanks mate, sorry Im still new to this. You said you rack it, I dont have the ability to rack, so how would I adapt your method without racking? Thanks.

Hi, can anyone suggest a LCPA imitation for me please. I have read the other posts but can't decide on what to use. My only requirement is that i dont have a 2nd fermenter to rack in or a fridge to ferment in. Im planning to brew this on in winter, so i can be maintaining a constant temp of...

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and to home brewing. I am a qualified chemist and would eventually love to start my own micro brewery. So I thought what better place to learn about beer and brewing than with homebrews. I am starting off with kits and working my way up, as I want to...
