Double brew day today Brooklyn Summer Ale Clone from Brewman with a few tweaks. Was a bit of a balls up brew I either knocked the filter off or didnt have it on properly , use a hopsock for all aditions and transfer caused no issues luckily. Electric pale ale from here...

Always meant to have a look at Mona , now if they have a bar there really is no excuse lol

Tassie Brewery Moo Brew this is a single malt single hop brew with tassie pale ale malt and Enigma as the hop. Was very impressed with this sort of tropical flavours with a little hit of bitterness to finish , hard to describe a very interesting hop. I have had there pale ale before and wasn't...

Balter IPA , not much of a smell to it , Im not really an ipa fan but I didnt mind this i would say its got simcoe in it ? and is well balanced with gradual building of bitterness and quite suprised that its 6.8 % . Just the muted smell lets this down a bit for me

well never to late to get on the advent calendar bandwagon Hawkers Pilsner , nice easy drinking pilsner , very suprised at the IBU's being 40

Yeah that's getting expensive mine cost me a bomb in postage costs to get them to tassie

Your beer would be a foamy over carbed mess and I wouldn't like to rely on the PRV to save you from a ticking time bomb There's a whole thread on pressure fermenting https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/fermenting-under-pressure.66163/ Other homebrew forums have threads on pressure...

I was suprised with a single hop Galaxy dry hoping warm for 2 days and then cold for 2 days how different it was , was pressure fermented aswell so no oxygen issues , but chalk and cheese from whatI have done before. Must add also first brew looking at salt additions so that might have had a bit...

double brew day Done a Gumballhead clone , think the recipe come from here ? , One I have wanted to do for awhile as really loving Amarillo atm..............and damn they have got one of the best decals going around. The most wheat I've done in a beer and left a decent old burn mark on the...

Well I find opposite I have 2 MJ kegs and I find the disconnects a prick to get off at times

I use the link that @shacked provided and this one http://www.thehopandgrain.com.au/malt-substitution-chart/ Between the 2 I can usually work out what I need .

Use the good old glad wrap instead of a lid , easy then to see if fermentation has kicked off

I use a hop sock for early additions and any flameout/whirlpool additions I just ad straight in once I reach desired temp . Just my personal preference as I had a few brews early days that were to bitter for my liking . I lift hop sock out of wort at flamout and then add back in once desired...

Sounds like you had good efficiency , I also have a grainfather and it takes a few brews to get used to it , great bit of kit. Take notes and work out your efficiencies so you can get your system dialled in. I had no idea about brewing in general when I first started but that was one piece of...

Just thought I would add to this regarding ales . Done my first ale pressure fermented an S&W pacific ale clone (brewmans recipe) . I transferred off cake and dry hoped 2 days at 15.5 and the 2 days at 2 and then transferred again to serving keg . This ended up the best hop aroma and taste I...

Yeah they work a treat , get a tiny bit of yeast at the start , most likely stuck on float from Krausen , basically leaves a nice yeast cake with a small amount of wort left

Interesting oxygen is one area I haven't ventured down as yet , more for the fact of the money I have spent on everything else at this stage . But I've had no attenuation issues as yet but only 6 brews in under pressure

I've read so much on homebrewing for everyone that says pitching on a yeast cake is over pitching another says it not an issue at the homebrew level . I've got to the stage were I'm experimenting myself and my own tastebuds will decide

I've tried to ferment mine at about 11 psi . No signs of issues so far 6 brews in . Experimenting next batch I'll be pitching on to a yeast cake that will be about 20 days old and left at 2 degrees under pressure . More from necessity as I would have brewed Monday put pulled a hammy Saturday...

I've done two lagers pitched on to a yeast cake . Drinking one know and it was awesome
