Hi All, Anyone in Berwick 3806 have a mill, forgot to order my grain pre crushed.. Started my braumiester, went to add grain and yup..... Any help appreciated... Thanks Sterlo

Thanks for the replies... Set and forget it is, i bought a gas line splitter, so i can always have one drinking and one carbing. Sterlo

Hi All, Well my first go in a while is nearly ready to be kegged....However when carbing i have a bad habit of making frothy foaming beers instead of nicely carbed ones. If i were to be patient and say left keg at serving pressure at say 5 degrees c would it eventually carb up sufficiently...

Well I'm brewing nothing atm...bloody busy working and cant get 5 to scratch myself let alone brew :-( Sterlo

If only i could be that lucky to know i was brewing tomorrow, just knock out whatever i can when the time is available. prob effects quality cause a bag of crushed grain might sit behind the bar for up to a month...but until i get a mill this is my lot Sterlo

Im hoping this was the case, otherwise i have stuffed up my first batch ever, i normally use the tank water but in my haste first day back on the brew connected the wrong tap, i add salts to the tank water and havent experienced this vial filth in my previous beers Sterlo
