Just thinkin of upgrading to 60 litre brews and so I guess I have to rethink the design of my setup just wondering if anyone knows of a good website for allgrain setups also Ill prob go for fly sparging rather than batch. Cheers Jethro

Hmm I wouldnt bet on it but ild imagine the desolved oxgen pick up while bottling at 2 degrees would be higher than at 15 degrees and also the co2 released at 15 would give added protection. Me Ild bottleat at 15 then condition at the fermenation temp of the yeast used :beer: cheers Jethro

In Western Australia it is illegal to drink in unlicenced public places which includes public roads. Unlawful drinking in public can be a lock up job and a court hearing if the Police are pricks. Ive been caught with a roady walkin back from the pub and just ordered to poor it out :( Cheers Jethro

Could be wrong but my understanding is tha nitogen does notdisolve in beer and create a head but it releases disolved CO2 in the beer creating a fine head Cheers Jethro :beerbang:

Well i have had problems with stuck ferments ( the last 3 brews) so on my last brew (wheat beer) I ensured good yeast (wyyeast 3068) from a healthy starter the wort had 4 hours of airation and fermented at 20 degrees ( the ferment went crazy and after 4 days I got a gravity of .006 (starting...

Any extra hops for the boil for 45min will only add bitterness to the beer My experience is although you use more hops the beer is ussually better with low alpha hallertau european hops than the higher alpha New Zealand hops and is definitaly better for aroma flavour (later additions) I recon if...

8th of Jan hey Hm my Dads 70th birthday wine and curry night cant quite get out of that, have a great time lads hope to catch up a future brew day Cheers Jethro :rolleyes: :(

Gotta get a fermentation fridge :lol:

I found with batch sparging that if you keep each batch down to 5 litres and give the sparge water 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the sugars i get a better efficiency it takes more time but it seems to work for me Cheers B) Jethro

I have been using northern brewer as a bittering hop (good value at 9.8 a.a) It does the job (saves using a packet of low a.a aroma hops each brew) Cheers Jethro

A Bloke at work froze a Lager ferment ( His thermostat died) after thawing the fermenter the yeasties kicked straight back in Cheers Jethro

I purchased a cheap 500 ml garden sprayer to clean my fermenter tap after sampling(water after use and steriliser pre racking) seems to do the job. (a bit messy inside but) Cheers Jethro B)

My understanding is that water chemistry varies from area to area so what works with mineral salt adds in brisbane may not in Dampier Melbourne or Perth. Just contact your water authority for analysis to get your starting blocks and work it from there. (Why work blind) I havent got my head...
