Individual non return valves are great if you force carb and forget to release the pressure before connecting your other kegs.

Plenty in Hobart Preachers will have plenty to choose from in Hobart Also The good people at preachers have taken over the bottle shop at what used to be The Mayfair hotel in Sandy Bay. It's now being called The Abbey. Haven't been there yet but their FB photos suggest a good range. Did the...

Around 3 weeks. It will probably take another month or so before I have all my kegs full, so I won't be rushing to tip it out yet. Having not come across these flavours before in my brews, my best guess is too much of a good thing, but as I'd never done a boil I'm in new territory.

From memory the OG was 1.045 and FG was around 1.008. I got the yeast going before I pitched it, and then not much happened for two days. It was my first time using US05 so I didn't know to expect. Then I had 8 days of active fermentation. I let it sit for another five days before I kegged it.

Hi I'm after some advice on my first extract brew which was aiming to be a stone and wood pacific ale clone. I followed this recipe I haven't done the dry hopping yet, and I had an extra 10gms left over which I added at 0 minutes I tasted it prior to kegging when I checked the SG and there...

1. Kegging set up. I wouldn't have got back into brewing without it. 2. STC 1000 wired up to a free fridge. Ferment temp consistency rocks. 3. Star San. A splash of boiling water and a spray of star San is most of my cleaning theses days. 4. No sugar and no dextrose. The bottom 3 are what I...

I've just planted my first hop, so I,m no expert. My research tells me they like full sun so if you run them east to west then they shouldn't block the sun from each other as much when they grow. Having said that, I've seen pictures of them in a circle layout so not sure if it matters too much...

:) yep

Just when I had given up hope , I picked up a Columbus plant from the LHBS. They have super pride and columbus available. Looking forward to doing my version of a First Harvest Ale

I left my run a bit late, so Sandy has me on the list for next year. Cheers

Thanks for the ideas. I am hobart based, Bushy Park isn't too far away but I don't think I can just turn up with a shovel :rolleyes: Thanks for the offer of the POR Nathan, I doubt I would get much use out of the variety, but appreciate the offer. I've put an email into hopco and will wait...

Hi I am keen to grow some fresh hops this year but haven't been able to source any in Tassie or find anyone willing to post them (due to the quarantine laws) It would be great if anyone could provide a lead for a local supplier. Cheers Ted

Biab bag, hop sock, beer line. He's pretty clever for two!

Dropped into BWSon Friday night and picked up a 6e of white rabbit white ale to try and a couple of glasses. Was impressed with both beer and glasses. SWMBO also liked glasses and would have liked the beer more if it wasn't a carb, she suggested I get some more. Now a proud owner of six...

Same people as mybeershop.com.au. I've had that tap and reg for 12 months without issue. Have a think about how're your setting the tap up, the short shank isn't good for pushing through a fridge door.
