I got a ginger beer SCOBY from Yemoos and it arrived relatively quickly and healthy.

Thanks everyone! I'll take the "don't mess with a good thing" approach and bottle this one as is. I'll let you guys know how it turns out I a month or two!

Hi all, I brewed a DIPA a few weeks back: The mash was at 69C: 6 kg pale 300 g Munich 300 g Dark Munich plus 500 g Dextrose at 15 min before end of boil. OG of 1.082 (~19L in fermentor) , pitched with 1/2 a fresh cake of US05 from a pale ale. Held at 17C for three days and slowly ramped...

Just to clarify, I want quick connects for my brewery hosing etc. Not for kegs. Thanks all!

Hi all, I am looking into delving into the world of quick disconnects. Can anyone suggest a good supplier? I swear I used to see them on BeerBelly and CraftBrewer website, but cannot find them now. Can anyone comment on quality? I have seen some discussion about the ones from KegKing leaking...

Thanks Guys! Will give it a try as soon as I can pick up some voile. The 12L fermentor has cider in it right now anyway. :-) I agree it is a lot of effort, will probably only do it a few times before upgrading... Seemax- added my location (wollongong)

Makes sense for the 21lt cubes, I was just thinking 15lt as I have a few sitting about from fresh wort kits. I thought maybe I could do a higher gravity 15L and then just add 5L and year starter to the fermentor. I am in Wollongong. Thanks!

Thanks guys, I was thinking the same. A few more questions: Concealed vs not? Ease of cleaning is important to me. Can I get a full boil? I've seen some older posts re boil problems and modification (and eventual element burnout) on the Crown urns. Is this still an issue? I like big IPAs so...

Hi, I am pretty new to the brew scene (and my first post here). I am a biochemist by trade so up to speed with the brew chemistry and sterility issues, but still sorting out my gear. I've been thinking about the best way to move away from kits/stovetop stockpot, into extract/full boil. The...
