Just a quick question about cleaning stainless steel kettles. Will post here instead of starting a new thread... I keep reading people saying not to clean with scourers (green or stainless steel). Of course, I've only just read this since cleaning my new kettle with a green scourer (shakes...

I think I'm going to stick with around 50L so hopefully a ring burner should be okay. Your keg looks amazing btw :D

Thanks but I'm in Sydney :)

The other option is to get one of these https://cheekypeakbrewery.com.au/50l-nano-brewery-304ss-electric-boiler-kettle-single-base-pot-1 But I'd be concerned that I'd need to add a second element and then costs are rising...

Thanks guys. I hadn't considered pot shape - less wort will evaporate with a more rectangular pot? I'm probably leaning toward a pot that comes with a tap as my DIY skills are, well :blush:

I'm looking to start BIAB and have decided to go with a brew kettle and gas burner, rather than electric (although not wedded to this). I've been looking at kettles and have decided to go for around 40-50 litres. My question relates to the quality of kettles. These are the two I've been...

Thanks mate. I do like saison. It gets pretty warm here during the day so figured the saison yeast is my best bet. Will let you know how it goes!

Whoops meant liberty not styrian. Oh well, doing this now so will see how it goes

Thanks pablo_h, appreciate the advice. Yeah it's weird that they use cascade. Would it be better to use all the cascade for bittering and save the Styrian Golding for aroma? Or just use 12g styrian for bittering and 12 for dry hop and discard the cascade?

Wow thanks for the quick replies guys! Yep. Not sure if that's a good idea or not? Ingredients in the pack are: Ingredients include Pilsner Malt Munich Malt Crushed Carapils Grain Zythos Hops Safale US05 Premium Ale yeast

Hey guys. New to brewing and have been reading up on the forum for a few weeks now. I've done a few kits, starting with a brown ale and then a basic US style pale ale. Next project is an IPA extract brew with zythos hops. I was going to ferment at 16-18*C as I was told to keep the last pale...
