Thanks for all the info. Im thinking I will rwduce my temps a few degrees and extend my hop boil say 20g over 60min. I dont want too much bitterness or hop flavor in this one. I saw that pale is the way to go with wheat for this one however decided on munich just for my own spin on things. I...

After having my first child and moving house over the past 6 months I have found little time for brewing. Now I have settled in however I have managed to put 2 simple brews together to get back into things. I have decided my next brew will be a BIAB hefeweizen. Im making the recipe off the top...

Hi guys. I have recently moved from penrith to liverpool area and have found there to be a lack of brew shops nearby. Im in the process of putting a brew down and was after a hydrometer if anyone nearby has one?

Beersmith says up to 40% for carapils.. I have a pale ale recipe which calls for 1kg of it but due to style it would suit. For the pilsner i will reduce it. Thanks for the yeast info thats good to know.

Unfortunately im working 12 hour days which make it hard. Have the air con in the brewing room which I had running 24/7 last time. Done well to keep it nice and cool. Just kills the electricity bill. Figured I can save money by not using it to get a second fridge freezer. Might give the towel...

The carapils was my main concern. So thanks for confirming my thoughts on that. Temp where I brew sits about 22 to 24 degrees so thought the ale yeast will be better suited until winter/cooler weather hits. Need to invest in a second fridge or chest freezer for fermentation control but with a...

Gday all. Having been so impressed with my partial grain pilsner ive decided to go an AG biab for my next brew. Im winging it with the ricipe and dont know how it will turn out but thats the fun of learning imo. Im sticking with what I have chosen so I know what things do and what to change...

So have been considering getting into BIAB all grain brewing for a while now but have been hesitant as it seems a big step from most of the simple concentrate kits i do. After playing around with grains and hops in a few of these brews I finally decided to take the next step by way of a half...

Cheers all. Will be happy with what I am getting then.

Just due to the general idea i have picked up from reading is anything above 1010 is high. A lot of the recipes tried all call for a FG of about 1008. I used to always hit around this mark. Its not really an issue, as i said the beer has been fine. Im more wanting to know why its not getting as...

As a side note i will be re testing my hydrometer when i get home as i realize i have not checked its accuracy in water for a while,

Hi guys, just a quick question. My last few brews no matter what the OG is have all finished with an FG of 1010 to 1014. I know these are still low enough to work with but i would still like to be hitting at least the 1008 mark. Is there anything I can do to assist this? The brews have been a...

Yeah I read that afterwards :S thanks for the advice though. It wasnt the grain itself I was just lazy with my writing and didnt specify it was the liquid from steeping it.

I made a pilsner and bitter both from kits. The pilsner was the first in several years and was surprisingly not bad. The last I put down was an IPA which I experimented with hops with. It should be carbonated by tonight so cant wait to try it.

Hi all. Am only relatively new to brewing despite having owned a kit for 10 years. Have made 3 beers the last 3 months to get back into with the last being a malt extract IPA kit. I followed the basic instructions supplied by boiling for 60min and adding steeped grain towards the end. Where I...

Hi all. Just a quick intro. I live in wetern sydney and despite having owned a brew kit since I was 18 I have only ever made half a dozen brews. The last 3 months I have decided to get back into it amd have thrown down 3 with a 4th about to be started. Joined tje site for the wealth of...
