    Fermentation Duration - Under Pressure?

    Not always, it might simply have stalled, with your yeast gone to sleep, so to speak. Starting at 16ºC and down to 2ºC over 4 days total is a very odd regime. What's your objective in doing this, and what's your source of this method?

    Buying bulk in hops

    You could always try here. His Dealz are well worthwhile, as are his regular supplies. And his service is top notch. Brewman (Steve) is one of my regular suppliers. http://www.brewman.com.au/web/showproductlist.asp?catid=2&subcatid=3&subsubcatid=18

    First brew - Coopers Australian Pale Ale

    OK, you are having a little bit of confusion between brewing with a kit of extract, and brewing All Grain from scratch. When brewing with a kit as you have done here, the mashing of the malts (grain) and boiling of the wort has been done for you by the kit brewer. The tin you buy is in fact the...

    First Brew Advice

    Just leave them in there while you are fermenting. Dispose of them along with the rest of your trub/yeast/hops residue after you have bottled/kegged your batch and you are cleaning your fermenter. No need to worry about it. Good luck. You probably don't have temperature control for your...

    Homebrew Planning Calendar

    BeerSmith3 has a cloud function. Can't say how it works because I only ever use the program on my PC.

    2023 - What are you brewing?

    Not sure how long to mature it. I based my recipe very closely on this article: https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-belgian-dubbel/ Apart from Belgian Wits, I've only ever brewed one other Belgian at least 12 years ago, A Belgian Dark Strong Ale. It was at its best after about 4 years...

    Anyone used the AUS-05 yeast from Kegland?

    What ? Nothing for years, and now this? US-05 has been used by just about every home brewer on the planet, so nothing new. By the way, cheers to my old friends at HUB.

    Connecting Millmaster to drill

    I ran it as slow as the drill would go. It was a big drill from Aldi. A popular drill was a green shed ozito,but I'm not sure that particular model is still available. I know lots of brewers use a drill and are happy with their results. Try it and see how you go.

    Connecting Millmaster to drill

    The match size key is to fit in the groove in the mill shaft and locates the handle if you use that. I don't use a drill on mine, as I tried it a few years ago, and used a spider coupling at the time. I gave up on using a drill when I realised my mash efficiency went down by 5 to 10% compared to...

    Higher Attenuation, Lower FG. Some styles seem impossible!

    Further to the advice already given, the yeast manufacturer on its website gives the Apparent Attenuation range for US-05 in the range of 78 to 82%. Using an average of 80%, you would not expect to get below about 1.010, so what you achieved is as expected...

    10 litres fermenter

    Just scale everything down. If it's dry yeast, a single pack will be fine even for 10 litres. I generally use liquid yeast, but for my regular batch size of 25 litres I use 2 packs on the odd occasion I use dry yeast.
