Hi everyone Some great advice, thank you. Some of it is above my current investment in understanding brewing techniques and numbers. I will definitely be checking the temperature and recalibrating if required and looking at progressing my brewing knowledge. It would be interesting to know the...

Hi William I am not using a program :as yet". Purely following the All Grain recipe. The Brewzilla is 30L.

Thanks Mark I've ordered the thermometer and I'll see how I go. I have tried something similar but using a better thermometer may help Cheers Nick

Thanks Mark As the temperature probe is down at the bottom of the brewzilla would you suggest measuring the temperature as close as possible to the probe? Cheers Nick

Hi all I have been AG brewing now for just over 12 months. I generally buy AG recipe kits from BeerCo and I follow the recipes to a tee. The last 3 brews I have done I have missed the OG and FG of the brews and I am after some pointers about what I could be checking to get a more accurate...

Hi, i'm still concerned about the lack of progress with fermentation. the hydrometer reading is down to 1040 (so it has moved 10 points in 7 days) but it has been 15 days since pitching. The temperature is a constant 18 degrees. Is there anything I can do to speed this up? I have read other...

Don't worry, I love the hops also, in fact I am attempting to grow some now, so I don't get too offended by it. I prefer hoppy ales and the NEIPA I brewed (in the bottle for 3 weeks now) is pretty good if I don't say so myself. thanks for your take Cloud Surfer. I do steep the grains, I do add...

Yeah sorry, last time I mentioned I was brewing a NEIPA I got some interesting comments on my choice of beer so I was being a bit sheepish. Thanks for the feedback.

Great thanks everyone, happy to wait and learning everyday. It should be an interesting brew, and to be honest I don't drink milk either, however I do like some of the milkshake IPAs, my local brewery in Katoomba (Blue Mountains) does a very nice oat cream IPA.

Thanks, yes I submerged all cans in Hot water to loosen the extract. If the extract is as you say should I try and stir the wort? Silly question, I hear the term wort boil a bit but can't seem to find an explanation that makes sense to me. Is it adding boiling water into the fermenter with the...

Hi all I am now on my 5th brew and really enjoying the experience. I have recently purchased a fridge and with my heat belt have managed to keep my current brew at around 18 degrees using my Inkbird (great advice on that) I am brewing an IPA with Lallemand New England American Ale yeast. I...

Hey all appreciate all the comments. I do have a sense of humour and understand that everyone has their opinions and preferences on beer choices. Just for the record I love IPA, however have never licked a coin. I am thankful for all of you who responded with with some sage advice and feedback...

great thanks for that. Ill work on the 3 x 3 scenario and see how it goes. I'll use ice packs during the day to keep the temperature down, looks like I will be needing a fridge when the temperature starts getting warmer.

Hi all It's been a while since I posted a query, everyone has been very helpful. My 2nd brew, Pirate Life IIPA was fabulous, 3rd brew Six Strings dark red IPA will be tasted this weekend. I have currently got a NEIPA brewing and I have had some conflicting advice versus the recipe. I am not...

Cheers.
