You mean I put my thread in the wrong place? Or that if i am lazy then i am unable to be doing HomeBrewing in general ("wrong forum")? Im just looking for a couple of tips, be it time saving or cleaning agent wise, which would help to have my equipment in a good shape so that i would only have...

Hi Guys, I need some tips for how to store my 3V equipment. I have 2 x 40L pots and a 36L Esky. I am terribly lazy and i dont like spending heaps of time stuffing around to make my equipment sanitized. I need a way to quickly clean/sanitise everything, store it and have it ready for the next...

Thanks for your help guys. It is really appreciated! I am a little confused now! do i drink more of it or less!? I am definitely going to put a diacetyl rest in my process out of good practice. Cheers

Its a lager, cold conditioned for a month. Didnt do a diacetyl rest.

Hi guys, i have a slightly unpleasant aftertaste (a little butterscotch-like i guess...) which i dont think was very present during fermentation. is it possible that this taste can be come present during carbing? cheers.

Cheers manticle. Thanks for the offer i will see if i can get down there tomorrow at work lunch. Guess i will just use a drink bottle or something tonight.

Hi All, If anyone has a spare cylinder for a hydrometer that i can use until the weekend. I would be very, grateful! Unfortunately I work till 6 every day, so i am unable to head to a HomeBrew store, and my girlfriend is being a lazy cow. Cheers, Losp

I am new to the AG game myself, and it took me ages and a lot of money to collect all the gear. I now wish that I had chosen to go BIAB, as I am still learning the game, and the return on investment is 5 times sooner with BIAB. Not only that but its a good starting point, because the pot that...

sorry i am a noob to AG. but by break do you mean, hot break? if so, doesnt this happen before the boil? (sorry for hijack) edit: sorry just re read it. more power next time. cheers.

are you talking about it starting to bubble less? if this is the case maybe i am brewing wrong! i usually heat it till it bubbles, and stir it a bit to stop it overflowing and then i turn it down to the point where it is boiling but not bubbling like crazy (water just moving around) and keep it...

This thread wasn't meant for only me... just for people to post what they saw, and if it helps anyone, then it helps. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Anyway, i live in Sunny Melbourne.

Hello All, I just wanted to make a thread where people can post current specials on these overpriced cubes. If anyone knows any current specials or has picked one up recently for a good price. It would be great to know. Cheers.

1 other option is to get a cheese making kit! the temp for hard cheeses is about the same as a larger fermentation temp. that will solve the problem of what to do with the other half of the fridge.

I have never had any wood catch fire. and i have never wet the wood. Although i don't do big smokes. mainly a lot of seafood (trout, salmon, various fillets) with the occasional pork or steak.

i thought the golden rule was to take off 10 degrees from primary and that is your secondary temp. Wrong?

I found this recipe on another forum: . It seems quite similar to the one on They are both simlar, except the first has a few more "specialty" ingredients i guess.... There are other recipes around but i have a feeling that these ones could be close... I have just started AG home brewing, so...

As far as I know they are both made by the same brewery. But are slightly different beers, both are strong Belgians but the buccaneer is a blond.

By the look of your avatar it seems like you would be interested too! As I mentioned in my first post. I have came across a few recipes on the net, but as I said they seem to conflict each other a little so I am interested in finding someone who has done it with success (or close to). I have...

bump. No pirates here?

Ok, so there are some issues then with mixing the 2 strategies?
