So is it possible to use betadine in general stores for sanitization of brew stuffs with higher mixing ratio than iodophor?

Mark no offence from my side. My apology to you for considering my questions rude!! i went through word by word of your and Kademium suggestions and being in all Darwin and websites to find your suggested ones. No one here on the shelves. So tries to google and find other approaches! Anyway i...

Can I use dettol or some other household cleaners from Woolie or coles for sanitization? If not I can get some Trisodium phosphate . I checked and seems I can find Tricleanium in Bunnings. Trying to do not use bleach as I need my frementers out of service for three to four days at least. I am...

Sanitizing everything and using new yeast... that what I did last time and still encountered hyperattenuation. What do you suggest for thorough sanitization of my frementer? This time I ll use safeale US 05 yeast. I am not using second frementer so my batch normally stays in frementer for two...

Considering you are right and some infections in my equipment then - I tried first batch after two weeks bottling, all are good but it is too watery ( no body!!) -Frementer is the same for both batches and I cleaned it by OZbrew sanitizer completely for one full day. - Both MGJs yeast should...

I brewed the second batch using Morgan IPA extract. This time used Fresh Mangroove jack M42. Sanitization and temperature control as usual and all other ingredients the same just changed the hop to Cascade. AGAIN the same issue FG was low as 1.002. Now I guess issue is MOrgan extract or MGJ...

Let me ask this... Does Fuggle or Willamette (I hope spelling is ok) in Stout do any magic if you want to add some coffee and cocoa beans to frementer? Do we need to add them or we just add it becasue we have been told? I understand now that citra change (alot) the taste of IPA but regarding...

too many likes :)! I got the answer of my next question which was how to go for hops combination. Let me ask you about maltiness of beer. Is there any way to have some balance ( ok some times biased) hoppiness and maltiness of beer. Still alot of beer lovers wants to taste alittle bit malts...

Adding hops is another story for me! I am new in home brewery and trying to understand difference between hops. To be frank most of them smell the same for me and I cannot understand how to choose/recognize them. So I decided to brew ten liters batches with single hops. Now I am using mostly...

Is there any way to check the healthiness of yeast other than its smell? Is it possible for washed yeast to smell ok but still infected?

My apology! It was two weeks in one frementer. Dry hopped in second week with all precautions. Added 100 grams dextrose and 500 grams DME to extract (900 grams) during boil. Total brew volume was 9 liters. There was not any off flavour taste after two weeks. Seems over attenuation and I am...

Two weeks in frementer. Morgan IPA. Air lock still active. Used washed yeast (mangroove jacks 41) from previous brew. I guess two much yeast Air lock still bubbling. Initial gravity 1.044 and gravity now stay at 1.001. Going to bottle it tomorrow. Checked the taste it is ok but some how lean...

I checked, read and asked alot and finally did what I should not but loved to....bought a BM plus 20 liters (YESSSS) from grain and grapes. Seems they are authorised seller in Australia. I was directed from main website to Grain and Grape one. Guten ones not available till November (at least)...

not sure yet! will see the outcome in more four weeks. I had to test it at least one time!

Used two soaked cloves, five cardamom pods (crushed) and 1 cinamon stick ( 5 grams) during boil. Instead of using corn sugar I used sugars from woolie (caster sugar) 200 grams. 500 gram EDM added to boiling water. IG:1.050. Have heard that using sucrose could ruin the taste?

I am doing 10 liters batches. Tomorrow is Stout day. Thinking to use some whole cloves and cinamon sticks. I guess the best time will be during boil. I am using prepared malts. this time morgan ones. Any idea how many grams cloves and cinamon?

Got it. About this Kevik... I am washing and re using dry yeast that I have used and they works well. Can I do the same with Kevik ones? Where do you suggest to get it? Tnx for reply
