Hey buddy .. no problem at all. Your observation is, on the face of it, well founded. I have been very fortunate in getting a HUGE amount of help from a fellow from this site and continue to receive. I am brewing big time in terms of quantity and maybe I am being a bit erratic. You are...

Great. I am already on the hunt for some in my part of the country (Vic). Thanks Mr Bird

Great thanks. Is that the stuff that I would use in stead of PBW

Hello Fellows I was wondering if anyone has discovered something like PBW in large quantities and cheapish. Now before you jump down my throat about how little you use and how cheap it is and cost per brew and ..... etc etc, I am gunna have a crack at pressure fermenting in a 50 liter keg (as...

Ha ha. No problemo at all my friend. I feel santa may get a specific request from you this year!!!

Not at all. This is what this site is all about

Thanks Bird. You are way steadier and talented than me. I am thinking now to just pop out the ball lock to clean the keg and replace it. I will use the cornie keg disconnects and all should be good. I am about to put up a post now about obtaining large quantities of the PBW or some other...

Thanks dibbz I would be super concerned about me being able to cut the top out of the keg so that it would perfectly for the cornie lid. How did you do it. Also, there are adapters you can get but you still have the problem of only a small opening. Due to my simple mind, I would like to have...

agreed and from I can gather, many better-cheaper options What are you brewing ATM Graeme

Hi stick3 I believe the is a ball float you can add to the out port which takes the beer from the top of fermenter thereby reducing the "crud" at the bottom

Thanks mate...Yes the plunge was taking your life in your own hands if you did not do it right. I was the bouncer at the pub and I was asked to do it because I was a strong, fit lad in those days (oh how things have changed). The thing was, it did not matter if you were the Hulk, if you did it...

Thanks. I think I follow what you are saying. Good luck with the new venture mate. I saw the snub nose fermenters but now having 2 keggeraters, 14 cornie kegs 5 plastic fermenters and not a heap of coin, I really want to utilise what I can get with minimal coin if I can. The bloke who owns...

point 2 of my question was about pressure fermenting and this question remains. I am not sure how I could clean the keg with that "ball" in the way. Clearly I would need to mix the brew in another device and pressure transfer it into this keg as one certainly could not add ingredients through...

No offence taken but you have no idea of my past mate. 40 years ago, I can not remember how many kegs I "plunged" in my job when the plunge was the only option. I can assure you that this device is significantly safer now I can see how it connects. At a live music venue, I would be plunging...

Hello Fellow Brewers. I was given 2 x 50 liter Kegs and was thinking of having a crack at pressure fermenting (see photo). Can I ask the following questions: 1. Can I use these kegs and if so, what sort of top can I purchase 2. Can anyone send me some links or give some advise on pressure...

Thanks for that. Should I be doing this with the apple cider I put into kegs cos I did not for the first brew I did and it was fine (I think)

Thanks GalBrew. What do you mean by letting it "stabilise". Sorry but I am still a first year apprentice.

Well just for information to my fellow friendly brewers, I am going to try and ferment supermarket apple juice with yeast to see WTF it produces. What I am saying is simply turning a 2 liter bottle of soft cider to hard cider. IU have the glass containers and airlocks so why not !! Wish me...

Some great and detailed information here so thank you to everyone. My local HB shop suggested I "back sweeten" with apple juice which I did and when I tasted in immediately, it was still "average" but after 5 days, it seemed to improve significantly to the extent that I am very happy with the...

Hello all I have done 2 brews of hard apple cider for 2 friends but I just can not seem to get it right. If anyone (non grain type of brewing) has a good recipe I would...,well 2 friends would be very happy. If you could please include all info including brew mix, temp, co2 and sitting time...
