i have done two AG brews in a 20 litre urn, starting with initial grain to water ratio 3 to 1, after squeezing bag and losing .5 litres per kilo of grain, i sparged in a stockpot with additional 5 or 6 litres of water bringing initial boil volume up to 17 or 18 litres. at end of boil i added...

i hosted a bbq a couple of months back, bought 4 cases of carlton draught because thats what everyone drinks, lets just say the next day my kegs were dry and i still have a fridge full of carlton draught, theres also crownies and hahn super dry that people have brought over and not drunk, i...

thanks chappo i will give that a go, i would hate to ruin my new urn or ruin a batch of beer because i couldnt clean the tap properly.

I have a new question, i tried to remove tap by undoing nut on the inside of the urn, it wouldnt budge. i was applying enough pressure that the urn wall started to warp so i stopped. some help would be greatly appreciated so i can clean the gunk out. and yes i was undoing the nut in the right...

thanks for the heads up brewtus, i think i might go see chuck talk, means getting out of helping a mate move but what are you to do!

for your first time i wouldnt recommend the ross method, you will probally over carb and thats a pain. if your going to let it sit for a week in the keg then hook it up to the gas at serving pressure, at the end of the week it will be perfect. Something i do and im sure plenty of others do is...

i need one to go under a four tap font, if you have one suitable im interested.

i have worn mine heaps, even to bed, and washed it a couple of times and i havent noticed any drop in quality, maybe im not as finicky as some (ducks for cover).

this is what i would do, but im prepared to be shot down so im ready to duck. ratio of water to grain 3 to 1, so 2.5 kg of grain would be 7.5 litres to mash with. while its mashing heat another 5 litres up to say 78 degrees which you can use to sparge with, to do this i would lift bag out of...

PM sent for all 3.

thanks for the replies everyone, any more thoughts on the mash, i was thinking of using the 20 litre urn for dunk sparging in, bring water up to 78 degrees and dunk bag in there a few times or leave in there for 10 or 15 minutes then add extra water to main urn?? thoughts?

mmmm, ball value looks the go, your right i wouldnt want to burn myself or even worse spill hot wort on the floor! PBW here i come, im guessing i can get that through Ross?

Hello fellow Biab'ers, today i received my shiny new 40 litre urn, Woo Hoo! Now, i have done a couple of brews in a 20 litre urn and have a couple of questions before i move on to the new one. Firstly, i noticed during the boil, the liquid in the sight tube doesnt get boiled, is this an...

wakkatoo, thats how to ruin a good photo, and you know, they may be off to a good start but we all know what happens in september! and as for the rest of ya, have you all got something to hide, shaddy pasts? hiding from the law? lets see your ugly mugs!

tumi, at this stage i woundnt be to concerned with infection, im not experienced enough to say what it is, maybe the yeast is reacting with the hops or maybe some co2 that is being released is gathering on the bag? as i said i dont know, what i do know is no point worrying about it now, let the...

yes BribieG, busted, i also have a pack of carb drops and brewers sugar under the bench, it all came from a coopers kit i bought off a mate, and the can is 2 years out of date! and i dont know what a good use for it will be? if the can was in date i would use it for the recipe i got off you for MB.

for Bradsbrew and all you fellow Collingwood supporters!
