Sounds awesome mate. I’m hopefully putting down my first AG weekend after this one. Birthday present brewzilla. Gonna spend this weekend cleaning FV and everything.

Hey Noob78, how did this brew end up? Did you re pitch more yeast?

Report back when you taste the beer? Interested to see how it turned out

Try a mini mash. Easy as **** and adds great freshness and more complexity. Cheap too. I followed the guide in below link. You could also add 100-200 grams of crystal for another flavour dimension. I'm a bit pissed so take my advice with a grain of salt but should be pretty solid. Pimping a...

Gash from Home brew network on YouTube did something similar to see how it would go. From memory it wasn’t bad just a bit thin. Here’s the video

Wish I was in QLD this would be good

Heat pad looks great, I’d be happy for either. Count me in.

Thanks for the invite mate

A guy comes home pissed one night and walks in to his bedroom with a sheep under his arm. He looks at his wife in bed and says "See honey, this is the pig I **** when you're not in the mood" His wife says "You're pissed, that's a sheep not a pig" "I wasn't talking to you" He replies.

Newcastle brew shop recipe?

Do you have any pics of the water heater?

Hahaha. I found the sexy things around my house worked really well for the first few years and then decided they didn't need to anymore.... 😐

Haha, might have to get the wife to help out. Although she is pregnant and not dealing with smells very well at the moment so we will see, I'll tell her it is for the greater good. I've got safety gear but they don't seem too dirty so hopefully can just get with PBW. I haven't had a good...

Thanks for the help guys. I think when I do get the kegerator I'll clean mega thoroughly and test for leaks as suggested and then see if anything needs replacing. What do you recommend for cleaning? Also any tips for how to clean right at the bottom?

Hey all, Im after some advice. I’m looking at getting into kegging, and I was waking past my neighbours today and he had two corny kegs sitting out the front. I asked and he was throwing them out so I happily took them off his hands. They seem in decent enough condition but will need some...

As promise here are some glamour shots. Beer turned out really well, nice bitterness balanced by the carared and plenty of hops and nice aroma. I’ll make this one again, maybe try a different grain, not that the dark Munich was bad but would be interesting to see how the hops balance changes...

I’d check the gravity readings to be sure that no fermentation has happened. Airlock activity and Krausen are not reliable indicators. My most recent brew had very little Krausen, no airlock bubbling, but 5 days after pitching yeast the gravity has dropped from 1.060 to 1.020 meaning it’s...

Further to this, what happens if the temp gets too high? 30c+? Not particularly an issue this time of year but I have wondered. I assume this would kill the yeast and also carbonation process but not sure. What about if it was already carbonated (2+ weeks since bottling) and then it get to...

That’s on the high side for pitching yeast, did you get it down to 18 fairly quickly? Where did you have the yeast before you put it in the wort? In the fridge? I’ve heard extreme temp changes can shock the yeast and may have affected it? Hard to say really. Try getting some fresh US 05 from...

That temp range is pretty ideal around that 18c. For the second batch I would think the gravity would’ve dropped a bit even without proper aeration etc unless you pitched it above 30c or something. What temp was the wort when you pitched the yeast? What yeast are you using? Sometimes the kit...
