I agree with lost at sea. For the price of a new fermenter you will have peace of mind.

Perhaps maybe because the clever sophisticated people who sponsor and make those rules are predominantly wine drinkers, and they are convinced all alcohol problems in our society are limited to those ordinary people who drink beer? And, of course, the wine industry has way more lobbyists and...

Welcome to AHB.

Sorry, never used it, so can't help you. Your result seems a shame, as a dry yeast would be more convenient than a liquid yeast. Maybe a longer period of lagering might help, although I see you've already done 6 weeks? I can't find anything to help from a search of the net. I do have an Urquel...

Welcome back !

Looks mostly OK to me, but I don't know the reason for your 90 minute Columbus boil. Personally, I never add hops longer than 60 minutes. Also, I wouldn't bother with the Roasted Barley in this style, you'll have plenty of colour in this brew without it, and its roastiness would by be...

Steve, I brewed an APA last weekend, using the hops from my latest purchase from you. Hard to go wrong with Cascade, Citra and Mosaic!

Wow, all that wasted effort of comment on moderation of this forum. Water off a duck's back for me, to be honest. Notice, I'm not deleting or editing your posts, so I do not understand why anyone currently has problems here. Going back over historical issues doesn't advance things at all. Rather...

OK, I'll defer to your better knowledge! Managed to brew my APA today, hit 91% mash efficiency for 1.039 SG, and post boil 1.050 OG into the fermenter, after 1½ hours solid boil to get the evaporation rate up to deal with today's humidity.. 24 litres of joyful drinking in the offing. Can't go...

A..C..B.. It no longer exists, and almost certainly won't do a phoenix and rise form its ashes, but has a relatively inactive FB page. By the way, Keith was never the owner, but he was an administrator appointed by the owners. I'm the only moderator on here for now, but my time is probably...

Another forum, ACB, has closed. AHB continues as usual.

I doubt it will return. As best as I can tell, it was the financial cost of running it with probably insufficient backing via sponsorship or member contributions which led to the decision. There has been a Facebook page set up to take its place to the extent that it can replace a forum. I'm sure...

Sours are not my thing, but I'm sure someone on here will know the answer to your question.

Two cans are not LME (light malt extract). They are 2 cans of extract. Unless you want to make rocket fuel, then you do not add further fermentables. Most cans will have hopping included, so no need to add further hops, unless you want to grow hairs where you normally don't. If you use 2 cans of...

Sorry to read of your issues. I have never kegged, so can't personally help you, but I'm sure there are others on here who will be able to come up with suggestions.

It will do that. The best idea is to look at BeerSmith own website which will have videos explaining it all. Their own forum might also be useful to you.

I know there's some free software out there which appears to do a good job. Having said that, I have used BeerSmith for the last 17 years, currently version 3. It was a one off payment of $20, and does the job for me, with many of its built in tools. Well worth investigating whether it suits...

So long as it not about distilling, go ahead.

I use a 3 ball valve from my kettle to the fermenter. After each brew I flush it, but it's no surprise there's still crud in there when I dissemble it. So, yes, if you can, dissemble is the best policy. Don't know about all the other stuff, as I still brew on my budget 3 vessel set up I put...

I'm sure it's Melbourne. Note though that the thread goes back to May this year.
