My first will be either Andrews Pale Ale or a Siera Navada. I Brewed the Pale recipe last weekend as an Extract full boil volume to get a feel for heating Times for my HLT and the boils loss. Something I did as the mash tun wasn't ready. It turned out a really Beneficial as i was able to really...

There is a good Podcast on BYO .com where they interview John from Starsan and John Palmer and discuss Sanitation methods and the benefits. I thought it was pretty good and worth a listen. They also cover the effectiveness of sanitisers at certain PH levels. Mixing Starsan with Distilled water...

Starsan... Awesome ... Haven't looked back.. Great product.

Just more time. You can force carbonate and there are plenty of posts on how to do this on here . I have done this a few times but another 24 hours and you will see some improvement. Woody

Thanks for that Butters! Does it make a difference whether the LDME or the Dried Wheat Extract is first.... I have added the wheat first at this point. woody

Thanks Guys , Butters I think this looks better... IBU 30.5 Any other feedback welcomed before I Brew ... Getting used to using Beersmith to which is a good thing in the learning curve! Recipe attached .

I am planning an all extract brew and have been playing with beersmith entering the details . The Brew is a JSAA clone off the DB. The Issue I have is the bitterness is still in bold comming in @ 14.9 IBU. The second issue is the boil times I have in on the extract of 60Min How long do you...

I know I suggested the spit motor and it may be too slow but I would have thougtht the size of the prop could be adjusted by size of prop, You also eliminate the heat issues as these motors a re designed to cope with heat. I would have thought anything that had a high RPM will have heat issues...

Would a simple spit motor do the job? Maybe too slow but bigger blades in the stirrer would help. Just a thought. Link to spit motor but I have seen them cheaper than this . http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BBQ-SPIT-ROTISSERIE...%3A1%7C294%3A30

Just a question guys and it may be silly but you don't learn if you don't ask ... Does the extra packet of yeast alter the taste or just make sure there is enough to eat all the sugars.What would be the difference only using 1 packet. These recipes sound really good interested to see how they...

Thanks maticle I thought about roast malt .....I might do that in the next batch and compare, so I will not boil the grain and steep from here forward . Boagsy thanks for another great link and the goood advice .. appreciated mate. This is a great site, I am just constantly reading everthing...

Boagsy, It was hard to read the Hydro as I couldn't get the froth away and I took a fairly conservative view. Maybe it was a bit higher than that. Thanks for the link to liquorcraft. As for the Hops what would you suggest?

Yes it does read 1000. Slightly sweet on the front and a touch bitter at the back couln't say I could taste the Hops and a slight hint of chocolate. Why do you ask about the Hydrometer? Do you feel the O.G is too high? I haven't had a lot of experience at tasing prior to fermentation but I...

Thanks Razz ! Have I done any damage boiling...... It smelt pretty good.???

O.K thiis my first Stout that I have had a play with I am after some opinions on if I have done this correctly or how i can improve this. Coopers Stout Kit 1.5kg Coopers Dark Malt Extract 500g Dry Corn Syrup 100g Chocolate Grain boiled for 20min on a rolling boil then throgh a strainer. 15 g...

Interesting Glaab looks like it is better to naturally carbonate! I have purchased extra kegs and that is really the answer to my question a I am planning to get ahead and want to brew the best beer I can. Someone told me that Pale Ale Kegs coopers hold for 6 weeks to mature...
