    First Brew Fail... I think, help needed!

    BJCP will give you style guidelines for a perticular beer you like. If it suits your taste, not to bitter ( under 30 IBU's is a start). Kolsch, Munich Helles and some export Pilsners from southern Germany come to mind they are under 20 IBU's. You can make what you like. It only becomes a defined...

    Understanding Fermentation Times V's Temp?

    I put ales under pressure @18C and Lagers @12 C for the most part. I utilize a temp controlled fridge. You have stated a Lager, I would give it 7 days. Then raise the temp, then cold crash. You are fermenting warm to hot. Give it 7 days and take a sample for gravity. Then cold crash, some say...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    I have plans to ferment apple cider. I think that these would be good for oxygen free and transfer to another as a secondary. Smaller batches and test out back sweetening.

    Black Pudding.

    Looking really good. The loaf method that you employed does give you ample size pudd for a fry up. I bought some local to me in Chelt/Moorabbin. https://gamekeepersmeat.com.au/collections/black-pudding

    2023 - What are you brewing?

    Thank you for posting your Vic case swap. Glad you were able to source the carabohemian. 5% rice hull should do the trick, more if you got them. I got 73% with 4% rice hulls, slow sparge and had to get the spoon out. I brewed a 44 litre 45 % Rye Roggenbier and recorded that the only loses to...

    First Brew Fail... I think, help needed!

    New equipment will need the production oils and particulates removed. Wash all equipment in either Napisan or oxiclean and also PBW will serve you well. Then you need to sterilize. Kit yeast is not handled well, transport and where it is store prepurchase. Get some quality yeast to suit your...

    Decoction Mashing - wort only. No grain No, No grain.

    I have done rye beers up to 20 % and have enjoyed the spicy smooth mouth feel. Rye and Vienna come to mind. Milling the rye being a small grain, I was thinking grain condition pre- milling. Sprits with water and allow it to relax prior to milling.

    Decoction Mashing - wort only. No grain No, No grain.

    I have never done a decoction mash, the grains that I use are well modified and to save a lot of time on brew day I have skipped this method. I step mash or single infusion and mash out, sparge. Now I want to do a rye beer, a Roggenbier! Inspired by a well-known AHB member- forum...

    Decoction Mashing - wort only. No grain No, No grain.

    Taking the wort as a decoction after conversion and returning to the main mash to raise the temp to mashout. I found this article and linked it here: Building A Better Mashout Through Decoction Here is an excerpt from the article Now, the rub with decoctions is that they are not fun...

    2023 - What are you brewing?

    Rye instead of wheat, and you are using a wheat yeast. Sounds great as I have some rye to finish up. I will give it a go.

    Cooling Wort

    I also have the 65 ltr brewzilla to do double batches. I have found that if I mash in the brewzilla /robobrew and use a 65 ltr digiboil as a hlt for the sparge water. I then transfer all of the wort thru a filter/ hop sock or pantyhose (I am a legs man) into the now empty digiboil. Heat the...
