Thanks for the tips blokes. Is there anyone in Mlebourne that could recommend where to get a good sized round cooler? Otherwise I'll go the rectangular. Cheers Dazzling... :beer:

Hey all, I'm currently mashing with a 19L pot on the stove and lautering with a 20L bucket which works a treat but i'm looking to upgrade to a cooler. Do people use the coolers to mash as well as lauter, and adjust the temperature by adding hot/cold water? Does the temperature of the grist...

My first experience with Wyeast has turned pear shaped, of course I hadn't read Batz post on getting Wyest started which would have helped immensely and instead followed the instructions on the pack (**** up no. 1 ). The difference being Batz said his took 3 days swell and the pack says 3-4...

Hi all, got one of the famous skunkfart pale ales in the primary at the minute. as most would know these recipes call for vast amounts of cascade hop additions late in the boil. I guess this is a general question for all brews, but if you are planning to dry hop should you ease off on the late...

So those of you who are successfully using these stir plates, how do you operate them? What I mean is do you run them continuously or in cycles? Cheers Dazzling

So i made my way to the local HBS today to get some supplies and with my memory of a goldfish couldn't work out whether i had previously used dextrose or maltodextrin for bulk priming :blink: . of course i took a punt and ended up getting the wrong one to what i wanted, that being maltodextrin...

G'day all, just wondering if i didn't have a fan and power supply lying around the place to use, what would be the cheapest option to get one? Cheers Dazzling

Cheers Kai, bitterness shouldn't be problem, I had approx 30L at the start of the boil, trouble was draining to a fermenter that had it's tap open and not realising for 5min....unforgiveable really Dazzling

G'day all, I got my first AG under way late last week and it is currently in primary fermentation. Unfortunately it didn't all go according to plan and due to a few newbie cock-ups I now have a 15L batch instead of 23L as I was hoping for. So what I would like advice on is should I rack to a...

I'd like to join the club of embarassing mistakes. Did my first all grainer yesterday and thought in my mind i had everything worked out, especialy having previsouly read this post, of course I still got my fermenters mixed up and put the one which had the open tap under the CFWC and lost 5L or...

I like your work POL, all crystal clear now, or should I say CCed clear ;) Dazzling .......out

In light of sounding like the newbie that i am, i have been reading various posts on CCing and 2ndary fermentation and in doing so have confused myself a great deal. Could someone please sort me out, I am interested to know how these two processes differ, what they do and what temperatures...

Well i'm having trouble finding the time to get my first brew off the ground, so I think the only option is to do it proper aussie way call a sicky some time next week. In other developements further to my first posting this topic, and despite the helpful hints from those who replied, I found...

G'day all, only a few more items before i'm brewing.......if only I wasn't wasting all my time in this office every day.... To the point tho, I need a gas supply to fire my boiler. What is the cheaper option, to buy my own bottle and have it refilled, or get one of those swap and go's from the...
