Not really. That's the level of use I used to get until i read a post about some bloke moving his mongoliana bit closer. Now I can get 4 double batches from a single bottle of gas, sometimes four and a half. Now I jut gotta find a cheap source of gas.

Snowtown lager- For when you could murder a beer.

I've tasted other peoples knk beers and they usually have a wine taste. An ag i did once had a winey kind of flavour, wasn't fermented high, i put it down to a light infection and chemo-nuked my kit. I don't have heaps of experience with infections, but apparently they sometimes only infect...

Helium is the least soluble gas, so I doubt it would "carb" your beer at all, would be fine for pushing out beer I imagine. I wouldn't do it, the gas probably isn't 100% helium

if it were me i'd get a dead fridge from the tip and put it outside. This will insulate the fermenter/s from the cool nights and kee the temps a little more stable. If you can get a freezer that would be even better, more insulation. Put a sheet over it so the missus doesn't see it. :ph34r...

I just had a look at tasmanias temperatures, it said your having a top of 13C and a low of 2C. Do you have a room thats not heated? If i was getting temps like that i'd be brewing lagers all the time! S189 is a cracker yeast, very clean and crisp with good flocculation.

what is super alpha like late in the boil? I don't know what style it is, some kind of munich vienna lager?

Where's the rice?

what is the point of this? I'm sure this will work, but i can't see where your gains are going to be over a normal stovetop biab mash. You won't get an increase of wort clarity if you use a bag. You won't be saving money on equipment (the whole point of stove top mash) if you have to buy a pump...

Buying a kegging system would be good, but i want to take advantage of the cooler temps now. If my garage sits at 22C that means my brew will be at 24C, which is too hot. I do have a fermenter fridge, but it won't hold 7 fermenters worth of beer! Also, there will be lots of variety in my brew...

I was going to add this to the 300L of apa thread, however it went kinda back on topic so i thought i'd start this thread. This is a description of my system and whats' going on in the glass grenade brewery... I converted my double batch 3V rig to BIAB a while back now. I read about biab when...

Here's a guy that went AG and then went back to extract, in a big kinda way. http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...=33523&st=0

These are great http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Digital-Indoor-...=item33698c66ce

Consistent temp is pretty important. If you don't want to spend any money you should get yourself a dead fridge and put this in the coldest place in your house. The fridge will provide insulation and limit the temperature jumps. This will only work if you can find a place that is around 16-18C...

+1 to starters. You need malt extract for starters anyway. Plus once you got a whole cupboard full of tasty AG brews you won't be drinking any of your kits brews, especailly a kit brew that you don't like. OR you could take advantage of this. Make up 6L of coopers barley wine and let it age for...

I like to reuse my yeast cake so i don't thrw the hops into the fermenter. I think i get a better taste with throwing them in so i do the following... Add hops to the plunger. Add boiing water and let sit for 5 mins. Push the plunger down and add to the fermenter. Drain 1L of fermented wort...

it will be fine. Adding a hot break won't turn a good beer into a bad one. However a slightly better beer can be made by removing it. Its like water chemistry. If your water is reasonable and you don't add anything to it you will probably make a good beer, however if you change your water to...

I didn't make too many malt extract brews for this very reason. When i was doing extracts the ingredients available to me were quite basic. There's only so many ways that you can put together light malt, dark malt and dextrose. I played around with different yeasts and hops and this did...

The best kit i made was not really a kit but it was pretty easy (i went to full mash pretty early on). You will need 2.5kg light dried malt, .5kg dextrose 20g of pride of ringwood hops and a bottle of coopers pale ale (optional). to a pot add 5L of water and 500g of malt extract. Bring to the...

Are you talking about using galaxy for bittering? Because i really don't taste galaxy in this brew at all. I really enjoy galaxy but i find it gets a little harsh as a bittering addition, thats just me though. :icon_offtopic: I really like this beer on tap, however i am usually let down by...
